Excellent portrait work! Best wishes, Ludvik.

Excellent portrait work, like the light and colors

Beautiful portrait of a lovely girl, PhoS. A delight of colors, light and BG. Excellent photograph! Best regards!

This has such a classic feel in terms of the way it has been lit. The reflected light on the left cheek is so well handled. This could easily be the basis of a luminous oil painting.

I'm glad you like this old portait,made in 1987,on slide film.

Contax TLA 30 unit was held via a dedicated cable on the right of her face,while a reflector was positioned around 1 metre on the left.

Being so "sure" then, in what the result will be,no other similar shots were made,as this is 1/2 stop underexposed,but scanned using the low backlight command on my scanner.

Excellent portrait! Great colours, and lightning.

 

Best regards Torfinn.

This is not only a very young, but also a very beautiful lady. She also had a very excellent photographer...Bert

You have what it takes Photi! Well done.

Lovely girl and beautiful work.

it not so much has a classical feel but more a dated one. For me that is fully due to the coloring (colorcast?). I'm not one to alter other people's photo's. In this case however I'll make an excption because, yes it's a very good portrait en secondly I think it would benefit a whole lot from just a bit of colorcorrecting. Regards, Ton

The face of love, I am sure she is still so pretty..

A fine portrait, intense and lovely. Regards...

I'm sure she would have been flattered if she could see your warm comments .

Internet holds a lot of surprises for those willing to search!

Anyway and if ever she could find this page,she'll get informed of how many dedicated photographers would have liked to make her portrait at her mid thirties!

Not that I haven't talked her into trying professional modelling at that time.

But she decided to study chemistry and then,who knows ...

I've scanned more of her which I'll post shortly,and following Ton's suggestion,I scanned this slide again,altered coloration,hue,saturation and contrast and here it is!

If you think this is closer to your taste,just say so and I'll upload this replacement instead of the initial.

this one is a whole lot better. Where in the original one the colours were way off this one looks a lot better. Altough for my taste it's still a bit too strong on saturation (I'm a b&w guy, remember)you're right, it now IS down to personal taste. Good one

A lovely image and the light has such a classical feel to it.

Speaking with an old photographer he lamented how the portraits are done at the moment, he remember that in his days was a very special occasion where they took care of the lighting and all the details. Your portrait reminds me of professionals who loved their work. Best wishes. Vicente.

Such an inocente face!

Strait innocent look.Perfect, art work Photi.

Adan,Vicente,Adela & Ioannis.I regret lowering quality and reducing size,after what happened recently to a lot of us.

This is an all time favourite for me,although underexposed and not well worked on shadows.

I appreciate everyone's comment and help.
