SAMANTHA'S 15

Did you have your fifteen? Meaning were you for the world at fifteen?

Thank you for looking. Rates/comments highly appreciated.

A ritual all parents know their daughter will celebrated.

Perhaps they are necesary to maintain family traditions...

Everyone was coming up with ideas for posing Sam...Papparrazzo is having another session with an old antique car of the family...any ideas are highly appreciated!

Sam is real and bright...

happy new year

nice portrait

Good Morning Jorge and a very Happy New Year my friend. This is a very lovely set of images. I especially like the first one where I too believe you are seeing the real young lady, very clever working the name into the image. The set of images helps the viewer get to know the subject. Very well done and presented. Take care Jorge.

Best Always,

Holger

Hi Jorge,

A fine series of images celebrating the youthfulness seen.

A very pretty young lady shown.

All the best my friend,

Mike

Very nice and tender face, profile to be exact! Nice collection of pictures!

Best regards, amigo!

Very nice and perfect portrait, a wonderful composition!

I like the shooting angle in the first shoot and her name on the ground was a creative idea. Great work.

Best regards Tore

A lovely shot of a beautiful young lady.  I like your perspective.  Ordinarily I wouldn't like all that negative space in the upper left, but it helps having 'SAM' taking up part of that space.  Smart of you to position it so perfectly.  There is only one thing I could suggest....possibly remove the brown-ish part in the upper left.  Then you could possibly very slightly vignette just that portion.  But it's fine the way it is too....and thanks for including the other pictures....obviously a happy family event! 

 Una serie genial, amigo!!

Saludos.

How gentle and thoughtful. What a magnificent fifteen year old lady. Congrats to her, and to you for such a delightful capture.

Una edad maravillosa llena de ilusiones. Enhorabuena. Vicente.

Really beautiful and lovely shots, Jorge!

Jorge - I am late to both celebrations - the celebration of a 15 year old girl and a celebration of a wonderful set of images. Much has already been said  so I would not want to repeat.

All the images are very good and they tell a nice story but I particularly like the first one which is so wonderfully composed with precise focus on her eyes and eye lashes - red lips with red dress - white letters on the ground and white colors in her dress. Just wonderful.

If truth be told, I did pause and wonder whether I would have left the portion of her hand at the bottom left hand side and after some soul searching, I concluded that it was just fine the way you presented it here.

All the very best and keep up the fine photography you do,

Despite the documentary series you provided, attesting to Samantha's worldliness at age 15, this image attests to her innocence and her natural beauty.  I love how her name is etched in the concrete.

My best always,

michael

thank you for sharing this lovely set of images Jorge! This shot has a wonderful perspective. We don't often see this. It worked beautifully. It appears she is well loved and enjoyed the Celebration despite all the fuss! Thanks so much for sharing her experience with us!
