I wanted to explore this a bit more.

First, we went back to the location I used with <a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/dance-photography-with-anna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anna<\/a>. It was cold then and we didn\u2019t have the time to \u201cwork the subject\u201d as much as I would have liked to. The lighting setup is the same.
