Color Studio Portrait (face lift)

Do not know what to say...I let my photos speak for themselves (if

they speak at all). I have been a photographer for thirty years,

but am totally new to this website. Although I know what I like and

dislike in photographs, it is always interesting to me what other

photographers think. So I guess I submit this to my fellow

photographers for their considered opinion. I thank anyone who

takes the time to post a comment.

You obviously know your stuff. Your photos are great addition.

 

Great shot here, I love the hand position and the color of her eyes. Next time with her, try a different color sweater. Black is harsh on a woman with her hair coloring. Try something warmer.

 

Welcome aboard

I find it a bit disturbing that her hands are pulling her skin around but I must say that this is an excellent example of how the subject makes a shot. I've heard photographers say that it doesn't matter what your subject is. As long you have good lighting your shot will work. The problem is that a photo is highly dependant on the lines contained within. If you have bad lines it doesn't matter how good your lighting is. Here, the lines work well and makes this a fabulous shot. Good work.

I'm reminded of one of Van Goh's colorful painting...

I really enjoyed this image. The confusion and frustration is a welcome change from the sincere. I like the fact that it is black and white (mainly) with color film. The only thing I do not like, and it might be do to the upload, is that her left shoulder is cropped flat (right side of image).
