Ms. Denda is a Kaligraphy teacher in Japan.

 

Thanks, Pnina

I like the bright background - a challenge to get the shadow detail right although the light and shade on her face is good.

very nice portrait!!!!!

Wow Pnina, what good lighting for this ladies' portrait. I think the way it falls on her face shows a great deal of dignity and character that lives in her.....Jim

Jim, the lady is over 80 years old! wonderful and nice woman, I was invited to her home and was impressed by her personality.

 

Thanks to all of you. Pnina

La classe!

While other people talk about the lighting, I say the composition is strong here. The detail is great and the expression is candid. To me, this is impressive work.

Pnina, Two sophisticated ladies meet. the photographer,who catches the right light, and the posing lady with her natural kind expression.very nice portrait

I think Manolis said it well Pnina. She definitely has class and I like this background lighting.

Manolis, Kurt, Alix and Amar. Yes a lot of class in that lady.

 

Alix, thanks for your kind words. Pnina

Is this the calligrapher of "Every day is a good day"? Looks having a good time with you. I think light through the paper screen(maybe) softened contrast of this portrait in backlight.

Another special one with playing with a lot of objects, the personality, the light, the lines I like it a lot Pnina, and the white framing gives the finishing touch

A pleasing portrait with nice lighting and form.

Hiroya, Yes, it is the Kaligraphy teacher of "everyday day is a good day", a very impressive woman, and Yesd, it is a paper screen that I have photographed her there, the soft light fits her nice personality.

 

Thanks Kim and Els, I appreciate your comments. Els my dear, glad to see you here! Pnina

Interesting pose angle against challenging lighting. I like the placement of the wooden frames in the back of the image, and how the horizontal frames are picked up in the ribbing on the jacket. I have to say that it doesn't seem that sharp on my monitor - looks as though that's the jpg compression - so there's less detail in her face than I expect you have in the original. Best, Jeremy

Jeremy, I didn't aim to sharpness here, I wanted it soft as her soft nice and classy personality. that why I have asked her to stay in front of the paper screen. The room was in dim light so the result showed her gentle lines....

 

Thank you Jeremy.

What a beautiful lady Pnina...you can sense her in this lovely portrait..congrats!

Thank you Am'lie, you are so right about her....Pnina

Beautiful portrait. The light is superb. My regards to her. I am a student of calligraphy and her work was excellent.Those strokes were mesmerising.

Interesting Amal, that you study Calligraphy,I think that she is a skilled teacher. Thanks Pnina

Very nice and expressive portrait, well done. Kind regards.

Thank you Jan Olof. Pnina
