Challenge: 7 Deadly Sins (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D1X
Location: London, UK
Date: Oct 8, 2002
Aperture: 4.3
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/20
Galleries: Emotive, Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Oct 12, 2002

I shot this photo at the big RUBBER BALL in London where the theme for this year's ball was "bondage". The photo was shot in a club. I used a mounted flash, and shot at a very slow shutter speed so I could get some of the environment lighting (in this case, green). No tripod was used, which adds a littlebit of blur in the hair and around the eyes. I saturated the colors a littlebit in postprod.
I personally like the "dreamlike" energy of this shot, and the contrast between the green/yellow and the red lips. I also like the fact that, being a closeup like that, the photo generates a a good range of emotions to people watching it. I'm quite sure some will really dislaike it, as other will probably really like it. I look forward to see the ratings and read the comments, positive and negative.

shame about the lack of focus/ blur on the eyes - otherwise excellent.

awesome usage of the colors and the expression and DOF is great .... 8-photosbyayme

Wow... don't think I could talk my girlfriend into that. Nice pic btw ;- )

The green really gives this a ghastly look. I think the flesh toned shadows are very interesting. karmat

A little shallow on DOF. A great shot otherwise. Good luck - 7

A bit too green, but otherwise great! Great expression.

She is not scared enough if she is the victim of a crime, and she is not seductive enough if she is seducing of being seduced.

Very seductive and well composed photo..like the color choice.(8)
10/17/2002 03:11:00 PM
Interesting interpretation - 7. In my top 10.
I like the choice of colored light, but there appear to be some distracting shadows, eg, under the nose. I actually like the ones under the eyes.

The eye contact really makes this image and the colour cast is excellent. Great angle = strong composition. Good hightlights in eyes and lipstick.
Striking image on Lust.

excellent photo... the lighting really makes this one 'float' nicely... - setzler

Don't get the point you are trying to get across. Don' t like the colorization. Good sharp close up
10/16/2002 10:10:00 PM
The shot is interesting enough without the angle of the head. Also, I would try it in black and white - not sure what you are doing with the green tint. (3) MarkRob

wow this is freaky. reminds me of any number of serial killer movies. the angle and lighting really make this shot even more scary! i really like it but am left wishing the focus included her eyes more than her mouth. still, nice job! 8--alecia

Bondage...good depiction. I like the use of the green lighting or tinting. Adds to the mood and subject matter.

Perfect...My choice for #1 this week. =10 syamjonimi

strong presentation. IMO it need more focus in the eyes. good one.
10/15/2002 03:56:00 PM
"she-HULK" fan?
10/15/2002 02:19:00 PM
Yo! Green with lusty envy maybe! Good job!! :o)
10/15/2002 02:05:00 PM
I like the colors and the composition. Spooky picture. 8
10/15/2002 02:14:00 AM
This is very nice. I really like the green light you used, and the models seducing look is perfect!

this girl REALLY needs to be spanked! :o)

Hmmmm.....I'm guessing envy, maybe, because of the green, but what is all the black elastic cords all over her beautiful face about? I think the meaning must just be too heavy for me. If, indeed, you are portraying envy then I think had you left off the cords around her face it would be an excellent photo. If you weren't...well, then I really missed the whole thing.
10/14/2002 10:48:00 AM
I really like this photo. Why are the shadows pink? Makes me think of painful welts... I also wish I could see her hair more clearly on the left side. Not sure how the bondage theme is directly related to the 7Deadly, but it's an interesting shot.
10/14/2002 10:47:00 AM
This is kind of dark, but I like it (8)
10/14/2002 08:29:00 AM
Not sure how this fits in with the theme, but the cropping is odd and the shot is pretty much of of focus.
10/14/2002 06:27:00 AM
Don't think I'm really "getting" the intent of this shot, but it does feel *sinfull*, and one of the deadlies is surely involved. lhall
10/14/2002 04:45:00 AM
Very different, I like it.
10/14/2002 01:08:00 AM
Don't like the green cast. She looks like the incredible hulk. Cool pic otherwise. Uhhhh, the green wasn't supposed to suggest envy was it? I'm a little unclear on exactly what sin you're going for, but it looks sinful to me :o)

Collection #69? :) Congrats on a gutsy bondage photo. I like the greenish effect. Beautifully executed, gorgeous model, made me lusty. 10 paganini
