lighting up the winner

At Good Vibrations I gave away a portrait illustration as a prize. (see my illustration for my club night here) Tonight I met the young lady who won. This is Jess. She is lovely and has some great ideas for the portraits. She's pretty awesome and I'm SO looking forward to the shoot!! eek

I met Jess tonight to have a chat and generally meet her. I waned to do a blip of her but the pub we met in was quite dark with the only real light coming from the candles on the table. I asked Jess to put the candle up to light her face. The result is quite an iconic almost religious shot. Thanks Jess - I can't wait!
