LA BELLEZA DEL MAL

hmmm, fearlessly taming the evil temptresses, and what happens next is very much of interest to many of your followers. Since this ain’t just another delectable sweet ripe fruit you harvest from Eden but rather a head-on encounter with pure wickedness, we want to know how the session turned out. This creature is not in the same ballpark as all the pure young damsels you laid your lens on Sweid... This is new! Maybe you tired of the old ways and now seek extreme sensations... Please keep us posted. I want know if you lasted to tell the tale.

(the shot is fun --- the processing could be better)

This reminds me of 1930's horror movies. 

A nice bit of retro work, I like it!

I love the light peaking out from behind her head! That really adds to the mood and the style. On this one, I don't mind the processing. It feels homemade. I might go well in your Ensayos folder and seems to be drawing from a similar place as THE SINGER. I agree with Carlos that it suggests change and some new ideas.

Hmmmm, I have the impression that I'm transparent... I mean, my inner sinner nature. This is an experiment on a bad photo, blurred (low lights, low shutter speed, and a trembling pair of hands)  Indeed this is not new, this is an old work (ten years at least). Last week I was bored, reviewing files, available time late night, and I started to play with my very limited skills. Then, voilà!

Yap, aimed to my childhood fears! The retro render is a consequence of the retro mind of the photographer! :-) Thank you very much my friend.

Fred

So glad to know of you again! It is as you feels, homemade, trying to avoid the classic use of post process, experimenting some new paths to obtain a kind of emotional meaning. I must confess that I like it (the father flattering the son!)

Thank you very much my friend.

Nice and interesting image with a...too much right and clever title.

owner of a lonely heart.

She wants to play (she knows it's preposterous to find her face evil). I'm sure she must be holding a scepter and staff to either side of the picture edges.

She shows me her one tooth ... (I laugh; she has me).

It turns out that Alfred E. Neuman has a sister.

Poor girl - now she's evil. Looks harmless to me-just goofy.

I would not like to upset this young lady somehow, might not come out of the encounter too well?

Isn't "Sweid Sideris" sort of made-up *PIE for "shining of the star"? Hmmm.
The texture, not characteristic of most of Sweid's portfolio, is rather like one of Wm. Mortensen's favorite techniques.
The over-all "directed" quality of the pose and costume also reminds me of that person's work.
