So rushed, very little editing besides b&w conversion. My skin is pretty crappy so I apologize.. I just HAD to get this in on time despite being exhausted. LOL.
Done with window light & mini reflector. :)
Self crit: I wish I would have had more light on my one eye so it wasn't so dark.
lol like everyone else said - I think your skin looks pretty good! This is a great shot. Nice and simple. The lighting is complementary and the black and white conversion is wonderful. Beautiful shot!
beautiful SP, really warm expression.I think your eyes o.k. too, but I would have liked it a little sharper. YOUR SKINS PERFECT! realy, its basically faltless in this image, I wish mine was that good : )
It's still a beautiful portrait despite your self-criticism. I think the lighting is great; soft and pretty. I'm sure you know, but this is "short light", and in my opinion it's a sophisticated way to add drama to a portrait. You've done it expertly here in my opinion, because the drama is very subtle, and actually simply heightens the very natural feel to this. Beautifully done.
I think this is great. You're lovely and I think you cannot take a bad photo of yourself, go ahead, try. :) Your skin is great, I don't see what you mean by it being crappy. Great smile and great cheekbones. Superb self portrait.
I dunno, I kinda like the dark eye. It's the usual "face half light half shadow," except that you've put the shadowy shoft focus side in front. This allows you're other brighter more focused eye to pull us all the way through the photo. You have awesome eyes! And I love you're thicker eyebrows, that's what's in you know. Just beautiful!
very very good for being such a rushed shot! and have fun at Warped, I was supposed to go this year with a few friends, but they bailed out on me and i had no ride. oh well, thats what live recordings are for (but NOWHERE near the awesomeness)
