This is a very striking image. One-quarter second seems quite daring as shutter speed for this particular portrait. At such a slow speed, I would like to understand how the blown hairs--or many of them--seem to be not moving.

Thanks everyone for the compliments - you haven't seen my bad pictures! BTW- the 1/4s speed is correct - I have strobes and a hotlight to get the blur. The strobes stop the action and make everything sharp that it hits. Things the hotlight hits gets blurred at that speed. But a great player - you can't get this confident, proud look while playing correctly without being an incredible violinist like Tatiana. I would like to find more extraordinary musicians to shoot in Texas.

Her trust in you is evident in the eyes. Great job converting to black and white (love to know how you did it, Channel Mixer??)

Nice control of light.

Hi Mike, excellent photo, awesome. It is by far the best violinist photo I have seen so far on photo.net

 

I am a violinist, violist, and violinmaker.

Fortunately I am just beginning with photography,

so I hope I can continue to learn from people like you!

 

All the best, Ben.
