This is a portrait of a photographer (seated). The projected shot was of a

friend of his.

 

Comments appreciated.

is that little guy in there a photographer? Must have caught him by surprise, photographers hate to be photographed. Well, everyone I know.

very bothersome to look how she holds the camera

The SLR in the projected picture appears reversed. Either that or it may be one of an exceedingly rare species of left-handed SLRs ;)

 

I think the photo itself is intriguing & moody. I like the lighting and tones and the contrast of the woman photographer's intense expression vs the sitting photographer's more relaxed (or melencholy?) expression.

 

I'm not sure if I like the wall socket on her cheek though. The composition might be stronger without it.

 

You know, I think you're right that it is backwards -- slide flopped. Of course I can fix that by flopping the final image -- then my eyes will be backwards -- but who will notice. The light socket stays, and the keystoning -- that's the ambiance of it all. As far as another comment on her camera grip: she is an amature with a big lens on a bright beach. Ciao,.

I happen to like this photograph for reasons I am not certain of. We have all had that facial expression when taking a photograph and I am not certain why. Good job.
