Untitled

This was shot a while back for a fashion book I was working on at the

time. I have always liked it as a stand alone image. What do you

think?

Nice composition and lighting. I find the image intriguing, but it does look staged. Maybe this is because the actors look too well groomed to be doing what I think they're up to.

It only looks staged because the light is so nice... people this "well groomed" can have spontaneous moments of passion as can us free spirits in t shirts and jeans. They just wait until they're on the way home from the opera, instead of on the way to the concert in the park (don't want to mess up those phat rags!).

This is a great shot that does stand on it's own... t

The lighting is very good, and there is a spontaneity to the photo. The crop of their heads gives it a sort of snapshot-like look to me, as if the photographer did not have time to frame.

Take this how you will, but i rekon if Helmut Newton and Norman Parkinson got togather theyd end up with somthing like this.

I'm familiar with Helmut Newton, but who's this Norman Parkinson?

Here.

The light makes it look DREAMLIKE. Looks like you used a diffusing filter, or is it just the light that is diffusing everything?

Yes, we did use a diffusing filter. Sorry this wasn't in the tech notes.
