Tanya

I would very much appreciate any comments, especially those on

composition and lighting (I only used a small bedside table lamp,

which I understand is not a classic photo tool;-)

 

Thank you very much.

I think you did an excellent job with your unconventional lighting. Sometimes you gotta use the "whatever it takes" approach to succeed. Her forehead is a bit bright though... Easy fix. Overall a nice photo.

 

Happy shooting,

 

David.

I like your picture and I'm not much of a portrait lover. Very nice composition and I love the lighting.....soft and natural. Good job of using the table lamp!

Sergei,

Overall this is a pretty nice shot.

You might be surprised to find that many many photographers use simple lighting tools just like bedside lamps and the like.

 

Japanese glamour/erotica photographers are famous for this. Often they'll use a single bare bulb with no correction for color cast. It can be pretty impressive the results they manage to get with such readily available material.

 

I think your well on your way here. Your composition and your DOF are working very well here. Your model is attractive in a very natural way and her pose isn't contrived.

Congrats.

 

cheers,

Luc

Great expression, great portrait.

Good composition, but too soft.

Sergei,

Nice shot! I like it because something of the person comes through. intimate, friendly, bright. Best wishes --Dave

----Tantalizing Tanya!!! What expression. Nice composition as well.
