Day 2... I promise I will get more creative through out the month lol.
Thanks to photokariangel for helping me pick one today :)
420 ex behind me, window on the left side.
Some people might not dig the blown out areas, I dunno for some reason I don't really mind them too much here.
I like it. Expression is very demanding, drawing the viewer up away from the color ink on your back (more nice tats). Nice crop/composition. Lovely shot. The bright spot only emphasises your facial features...great job.
Very pretty. Like your day one, shadows are well treated. Though your eyes are lit nicely, they're dark for my taste, and the photo would benefit if the left side of your face were lit with weaker light or a reflector. I immediatlely notice the vignette done in post. Usually vignettes added later should be less noticeable. ;-) (As postwork that is.)
I wish there had been another background, you look kinda washed out or 'grunge' because of it (there's lacking that feel of it being either in a studio, at home or someplace else that's nice - with the corner of the wall and the very straight lines it reminds me more of a run down and abandoned office building). I think some more light on your face (compared to that on your shoulder) would have helped lift the mood too.
The blown out areas don't bother me at all. It's the darker areas that seem to have less life. Great tats - hope to see more of them. I like the expression, monotone mood, and "in your face" pose. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
I think the blown out areas add some glowy softness to the photo which is a great contrast to the look you are giving. I like this - it's edgy but has a feminine quality to it too.
That's a serious look you got there. Almost a 'don't mess with me' look. lol I like it though and it's a good choice for a sp. Lighting is natural?
It would be helpful to others if you included some info with your submission like shutter, aperture, and lighting used. I'm new at this portrait photography and always look to learn from other photographers. :)
