Japanese Girl on wedding ceremony in Tokyo

Thanks for comments.

Sadegh, Beautiful image of this little precious girl. Great depth, color and tones. Just out of curiosity, why is there a shadow on the lower part of her face? It is an interesting effect, but I would like to know if it was deliberate. This is very nice work. You are fortunate to have such models. David

Dear David, First of all thank you very much for your nice comment and regarding your question about the shadow on the lower part of her face I have to explain that I was walking in Japanese garden in the middle of Tokyo city and it was a Shinto temple which is used for wedding ceremonies in this garden and I saw accidentally this beautiful girl among the people.She was sitting on the wooden bench under the shadow of a tree and the sun was shining trow the tree which I found it so beautiful and started to shoot and this is the result of that beautiful day.

 

Best regards and thank you again for generous rating.

Thank you Sadegh. It was a beautiful capture, all the more so knowing that you did not plan it. David

Well done Sadegh, the light is just fantastic. I find it a shame there isn't more light on her eyes. A catch light would liven it up. But given the circumstances, you couldn't control it. A picture to be proud of.

What a beautiful portrait! I think the shadow and unique lighting makes this portrait special.

itz so cute.

Sadegh the explanation reafirm me that street shots at the right moment produce great images like this one spectacular exposure of a gorgeous model with the right light and shadow contrast.  Just perfect.  Warm regards.

This is a beautiful image that you have here.  The tones look all natural and the lighting is absolutely perfect.  I love the composition. 

With regards to the lighting, again, I love it.  I had the hardest time for a few minutes trying to figure out just how you did it.  I figured that the light was coming from one side, but it looked too...hmm, how to say this... uneven(?) to be from a speedlight.  It also looked to soft for that, in my opinion.  It wasn't until you pointed out that you took this in the Japanese garden of a Shinto temple (I've heard those place look very nice during the spring) that I was able to understand.  I've always believed that the best light you can ever use is from the giant star that hovers over our skies (try to ignore the scientific inaccuracy of that statement. lol)

Again, this is a lovely photo.  I'll check out some more of your work and comment where I can.
