Amanda Chair

At the studio housing the shooting workshops I attend, they put

together various sets each time. This one is by a window providing very

nice natural light through a sheer curtain.

Beautiful pose, intense expression from the model. I love the B&W tones, especially the whites of the skin. Best regards

Nice old style nude! Bravo!

Excellent

I think there is a little too much light to the left and I would prefer the background (painting) to show more contrast. That said, this image does have a lot of charm.

Very nice! Best regards, Ilkka

Thank you all for the kind comments.

 

David - I understand what you mean about the left side. That is the side nearest the window and so would be brighter. There is also an issue with my film scanner. I might replace this with a scan from the print I made this afternoon, which is much better.

This is film... that's where all the charm comes from...! I would definitely burn the body area an extra few seconds, just to get a bit more detail out, and leave the contrast as is (of course, fixing the problem with the light to the left). The visage definitely needs a bit of extra time. Best regards

Antonio - Thank you for the suggestions. I did print the negative yesterday during a darkroom session. It is much more even and has a greater tonal range. I'll have to try scanning the print and see if that is better.
