“Often it is the lighting that inspires me. That was definitely the case when I noticed the morning sun beaming through this rainbow Swiss chard. I noted the bright red stems, and chose to wear this butterfly skirt with the bright red butterflies to accent it when harvesting and photographing. Since the subject was backlit I added a little light to my figure to avoid being a silhouette. ”
