Pierre Dumas 274 Posted December 5, 2010 I wonder how is it possible to make such a wonderful richness of B&W tones and such beautiful ones. The lighting is also great and the model's face beautiful (even the hair is so well done)! Perfection!PDE Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted December 5, 2010 John,She is beautiful. The lighting, catchlights, background, specular highlights on her lips, expression, make-up and the exposure are all excellent.The ruffle around her neck is not as sharp as her eyes. I don't see a good reason to have any of her out of focus. An out of focus background is very nice and focuses attention on your subject. Parts of your subject (including her clothing) out of focus will draw attention away from what is in focus. It is difficult to go wrong with having the entire subject in focus.There should be more room on the left -- in front of her. She should be looking into the picture rather than out of it.Nice shot,Mark Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted December 7, 2010 I do believe the comments above echo all my feelings on this image. However, I do believe it would be rude to say nothing. Quite beautiful. Link to comment
User_4136860 3 Posted September 17, 2013 I teach portrait photography at a college John and would just like to say congratulations, because from a compositional , lighting and exposure perspective this shot is just about perfect, because. CompositionThe eyes are not both on the same level which adds some dynamism and interest. The light coloured bow in the models hair, and the light tones of her right shoulder make it an excellent diagonal composition, her expression is calm and appealing and the gloss her slightly pursed lips is very attractiveLighting.The soft light from a diffused light source on her right (possibly an umbrella) produces modelling in her face and adds to the impression of the roundness of her head and features.ExposureThe skin tones and perfect and natural looking, the highlights are bright and the shadows are a deep rich black and the overall balance of tones are perfect.I don't know if you're a pro. but this is professional quality work, well done.
