portraits Untitled

Here you have a portrait of one of my friends, Claire, taken when we

were waiting to ve served in a restaurant. I would want to know if

you like the composition and the lighting: she in the shade and all

the background with blow-out lights. No crops or digital alterations.

Scanned with a cheap flatbed scanner from a 18 x 18 cm copy.

Thanks in advance,

Oscar

I think the high key illumination is a good match for the mood of the subject and the setting, an open-air cafe refuge from a hot day.

I think you are doing nice work with that old Autocord. I am going to follow your example and try some portraits with my Yashicamat sometime soon.
