Portrait/Candid (CB-2)

Natural attitude, movement of hair, mood,innocence but already ready to enter into adults "stage",light,texture, softness. Well everything to make a perfect b/w portrait.

The definition is so great that seems i ve this person in front of me in real.

Best regards Jo ;)

One more excellent portrait, it is always hard to say something immediatly after you posted a masterpiece (father and son) but this one is trully good candid. Love her expression.

 

Beautiful portrait. I love the expresion you have captured here and B&W tones are excellent. Very nice.

I do not know how to explain my self in proper English, I can keep viewing this image for ages and still would continue to view it more.

 

Amazing balanced exposure here, perfect mood, fine details, very well blured background, perfect contrast and tone, you have all of the photographic technical elements plus the atmosphere all in one portrait work.

 

 

Well done my friend and wishing you and yours all of the best

I love that this isn't one of those pearly-white, blinded by the light portraits. It's a surly teen framed by her own confusing hair. This is how I remember adolescence/young adulthood (sans ponytail).

Beautiful capture of a lovely face, great moment of thinking and making choices. Congrats, Joseph!

Fantastic capture, great tones and original angle, Joseph.

corinne, Bojan, Teresa, Rashed, Mari, Alberto -- Thanks for your warm and encouraging comments.

 

It never ceases to fascinate me -- as it does you -- how many different ways an image can be interpreted. Without going into detail -- I don't want to instruct anyone on how to view this -- I owe it to this young woman to say that she wasn't being surly. She was intensely observing something important to her. But after looking at it again, I can see exactly what you mean. Thanks so much for your comment. Regards, Joe

Pure projection on my part. I worked for ten years as a psychologist with adolescents, so I think I'm revealing the emotional residue of working with kids. Whether thoughtful or sour, this is a portrait that has an emotional kick to it, elevating it from the typical "Smile and say cheese" shots.

Attractive , intense , classic lines and stunningly crafted b/w. Photography to feel affection for. All the best regards Joe ,

A beautiful image: very good looking profile, nice light and well captured. And I agree with all of the previous comments. Even though I would rate this 6/6, I feel a deep need to see the eyes which is the soul and the inner door and this is just my personal preference. I recognize that i cannot see her eyes with this camera angle and it would mean a completely different pose and a completely different image. So my congrats on a well done portrait where I will fantasize about her eyes (*_*). best regards,

I feel the same way as Tony does, nevertheless I like it, it is a fine portarit.

Very fine portrait of a young lady.Silky skin,extreme hair detail.

Joe you have excellent tones. Very sharp and also soft. Great work. I had a view of your portfolio. A lot of new, beautiful photos. You have a lot to give...I ll come in the end of the week not in the beginning to enjoy them. Congrats with my best regards.

Thanks for Taking a Look

Fresh and Natural! Ciao Elena

mario, PhoS, Yiannis, Elena -- Thank you all for your thoughtful comments and encouragement. I appreciate it very much.

 

Tony & Vladimir -- I understand your yearning for eye contact, and I usually pay special attention to eyes, but sometimes, I think, it's what you don't see that creates the most "tension." I welcome your comments, and will think about them carefully, because I respect your views and your work.

 

Regards, Joe

Excellent light and composition.Very nice model glance.Great work Joseph.Bravo.Janusz.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Regards...

More than Beautiful.

Joe, I am starting to notice a pattern...a signature style. Your portraits are becoming more and more characteristic...they represent real people in real moments. Your portraits show a human nature independent of any artifacts or accessories. The technique is very good here. Perfectly focused, this image gives the viewer to interpret it freely.

I agree with all of the comments above from many PN friends who are far more eloquent than I. This is truly a natural, most expressive portrait which communicates many emotions to the viewer. I think this is one of your best without doubt. Congratulations. Neville H.

Excellent portrait! You captured a meaningful moment that increases the value of this shot together with a good light and details and realisation in B&W. Best regards! Glauco

pensive, beautiful. i love your work.
