Model Sarah Dingle enjoys the beautiful Flower Memorial Library in Watertown, New York, in this series celebrating the spirit of knowledge and literature.

This was my first indoor photo shoot, and it’s clear I could have done some things differently. For one, I didn’t want to disturb anyone at the library, so I didn’t use a flash. I also didn’t have a diffuse box for my flash at the time, and I didn’t use a tripod.

So we got plenty of great shots, but I was using a very large aperture so there’s a lot of unnecessary blurring. I also had to use a high ISO. The noise isn’t too bad, but it’s more than I’d like. Overall, I think these turned out really well.
