Cell

So...I had this idea because almost every self portrait you see from

the lady's these days was taken by herself from a cell phone.

Thought it might go over well...

Justin: I noticed on most of your photographs you are using the 24-70 f2.8 L. I have been looking to add another lens to my canon collection and I see you must really like this lens. I have 2 long L lenses and I just might buy the short zoom. I am using the 20D but I also have the 5D. Canon has been my choice for cameras for over 25 years. By the way the photo is excellent. Regards. Dave

I'd like it better if her expression was the same in the cell.

its just a interesting statement of how long photography has come since the time of gun powder and counting to 5.

Perfect!!!

agree with Jim but still a great picture. 7/7

The same thought as the previous two critics came to my mind at about 5 seconds viewing. Her eye should be looking at the lens of the 10D and her face should closely mirror the expression seen on the phone, else the image lacks harmony.

 

Is there any possibility of you taking this shot again?

 

superb!!!

I actually have a bunch of different shots and expressions from both angles. I considered doing the same expression, but thought it might be cool to mix it up. HOWEVER, I believe I'll give the other idea a shot. I'll post it soon. THanks all.

If you could please take it again as suggested it would be nice to see the result.

 

Anyway, upon reflection it is a bit subjective as to whether my previous suggestion and those of the others should be considered absolute, because if the model was not looking at that mobile phone there would be a loss of viewer direction. Since she is looking at the phone the viewer has more of a focus toward it than if she were not.

 

The possibility of a loss of focus toward the mobile as opposed to mirrored model expression and eye contact with the 10D lens is a bit tricky. I can visualise it but I am uncertain as to which is best.

 

This concept is an intriguing departure from the typical mirror methods used so many of us are familiar with. It has commercial potential.

She is a remarkable model captured beautifully, to retry to capture would surely result in subpar... I say appreciate what is before you...

Got sass, got attitude. Great angle, great style.
