My wife recently made the Ruska Knot Dress by Named Clothing. To commemorate her make, we set out for a quick photo session in downtown Mesa. We chose downtown Mesa because we wanted to take advantage of some of the murals painted there, as well as some of the architecture that downtown Mesa offers.

Part of capturing what her dress looks like really includes capturing and representing her attitude, creativity, and pride, because she made it. It was important to focus on not just her dress, but to represent the person wearing it.

Technically, it was important to ensure that the color of the dress was represented accurately in different lighting situations with different background colors, affecting the tonality and color balance of the different locations. Having that consistency was important in editing, since it was easy to lose sight of that.
