Well when i look at a photograph the first line of interest is what is the story here!? When i look at this photograph i see the camera being pointed down from on high at a (what i assume is a street person) woman whom:

1. Doesn't what her photograph to be taken.

2. May feel that her situation is being exploited.

3. Wants to maintain some form of dignity.

As for the geometric experimentation...is this somthing that you consiously saw when you stumble upon this ladies plight or did you derive it at a later point.

This is a reworked version of a portrait after taking advice from some

photographers.

Comments and Critique are greatly appreciated. Thank you for looking.

I would like to see more of a focal point, a main interest in the photograph. I know from the title that it is the smiling girl and am kind of drawn to her but there is still an lot going on and my eye tends to dart around the frame too much. Also i think it could use a little more contrast to make it a bit punchier.

Keep up the good work.

Peace.

Stephen.

Reworked toned etc. 120mm film. Thanks for looking. Please comment

if you feel strongly one way or the other. All comments very much

appreciated.

Like this shot a lot as it puts these peoples lives in context but prefer the close up of them in you portfolio which is a really nice capture of character.

A very nice portrait shot.
