Aphrodite

Such an interesting portrait! The hair and the clothes and head accessory are so perfect to really create the Greek Godess feel. I actually like her pose like that. It looks like she is reclining as they did in those days to eat grapes or whatever they did. To me it enhances the whole feel you are conveying here. I like it alot!

Yes. Creative genius, you are! The bright light makes "the abyss" seem all the more dark and foreboding. I also am impressed by how dead on your focus is for a self-portrait. Its nothing short of amazing.

I love the dark shadows too, and the highlights don't really look blown, they just look perfect. Its a beautiful photo to do in black and white, and she looks like an absolute precious little girl.

He certainly fits the GQ model look well! You'd never know this wasn't his typical attire :)

I love it! I think the high key editing works great with this. It looks exactly as it should.

I don't think there's too much fill flash at all. It looks perfect to me. I love her soft skin -- but where you can still see texture. Its very perfect and professional.

Now THAT'S a picture of me that I can really love :) I decided my goal for 2010 is to get less camera shy and quit caring so much about how horrid typical pictures of me turn out. . . this is a good way to start :)

How'd you do it????

I know I have one that I almost posted that shows just your hand giving him the dollars. He was an interesting character for sure, and I think he enjoyed the attention we gave him, don't you?

Man. That sure was a fun day!

Yes. Quite well indeed! You get the feeling that you are really looking at a story more than a technically perfect portrait -- which to me is always better.

I adore this photo. I love how you've processed this to look so vintage. Something about her hat and the beads that make you feel like you could be looking at a photo from another time. I am loving seeing you so engaged in happy times. You are such an inspiration! :)
