7/7

Very beautiful and interesting.

Very inspiring work! Your whole portfolio is very interesting. Thanks for sharing your visions.

IMHO, hair color, background color and fresh composition gives this image its mood. Gesture, lighting and those magnetic eyes finish the job.

 

Reminds me of Valejo and Bell because of looks, but feels very different. Maybe Brom trying to be nice? :)

 

Wonderful photo!

Great! I like the way her hand makes for a good detail.

 

Ha ha......I like to get the same brand! Well done on the pose and lighting! What size was you Gandolfi camera?

hi eddie

my Gandolfi is a 8x10" camera. but in this case I used the reducing back so the picture is in 4x5"....

you should see the slides from 8x10.... :-)

Mr. Schildt, what you do with light,color and texture is art. If you ever work in Arizona I will carry your equipment just to watch you do you work.

I thought I was looking at a painting from Raphaël.... I whish I could master light like you do.

 

Very well done.

 

If it's not to much to ask, what did you do here? one Soft box? gel?

 

Thanks

 

 

jim: thanks, and if I ever come to America, I'll let you know...

VERY simple lightning... one flash at her right side ( with a softbox) - and a golden reflector on the other side...

that's all - keep it simple and use your eyes - then you can't miss....

best regards..

Thanks for sharing your photos and for answering the technical questions, Emil. I learn a lot, and enjoy visiting your porfolio. Fausto.

I know, I keep coming back to this photo. I have to say (or write!) it again. This light is simply amazing. Your highlights are so pure, your mids are perfect, and the shadows are strong. Contrast is perfect (ok, I'll stop)

 

I love your work with light painting, but there's something with this photo, that keeps me coming back. I just enjoy looking at this photo. The catch light on her eyes is beautiful, her skin texture is very pure. I know you say "trust your eyes", but it takes years to achieve this kind of work. I was a pro musician when I was younger. I could play all night in clubs with my eyes closed, I knew where my fingers were going, where I was taking the music, I was in control....

Its all been said, the Masters touch. Deceptively simple and very beautiful. The image and the model.
