portraits Ksenia

Ksenia watching a sketch.

The image is unsharp and severely underexposed. The thing her face is resting on (cushion? arm?) is distracting. Extreme close-ups do need some make-up (unless the subject is an old fisherman from the Lofoten islands).

At night and under an open sky, it's a bit hard to get both the background and the subject exposed. Remember that not everyone is shooting portraits in a studio. Personally I prefer portraits of people without make-up, in a natural setting.
