Leap of Faith - August 18th, 2014
To anyone who’s sat there, and finally said “Fuck it” got up, and did something really unconventional. To every person who’s walked into work and said “I quit”. To every person who’s finally decided to commit their lives to something bigger than themselves. This, is what it feels like.

Learn to love the butterflies that are flapping madly within your gut every time you feel like this, because change can be a really good thing.
I’d been wanting to do this shot for a very long time but I wanted to wait until my PS skills were good enough to do the idea justice.
Many thanks to Kelly Lynn Martell for being my stunning model, Brent McCombs for all his assisting, and Benjamin Wong for supplying the skyscraper shot I hope you like it
We shot in Shadowhouse Studios in Halifax, a day before my workshop there. I lit this with an octabox on a boom above my head, and bounced fill light off the walls from both sides to fill in the shadows.

Growing up surrounded by the vast prairie of the Canadian north and tales of faraway places, Renée Robyn has chased the perfect backdrop around the world. Approaching photography like a treasure hunter, her compositions are uniquely cinematic, often becoming pieces of a bigger world represented beyond reality. Renée’s style is easily recognizable and distinctly her own. Expertly blending fact, fiction, and a little digital alchemy, she works with tech giants Adobe, Wacom, Viewsonic, and Intel. Her work has also been commissioned by entertainment icons like Nita Strauss, Housecore Horror and others.
Comfortable facing down gale force winds, climbing fog-shrouded mountains or fast pace commercial studios, her work is impressive and committed. An expert retoucher, Renée applies the same level of commitment to post-processing leveraging her mastery of colour theory, editing, light, and shadow in the digital realm of Photoshop.
Renée Robyn Photography lectures have been presented around the world, including PhotoPlus, WPPI, Photokina, and Creative Live.
