Fashion And Models 9
Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 29 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
I like this model for her expressions, they are somehow very powerful when you watch her in action.
The metering here was on her neck, else the whiteness of her clothes would have thrown her face into darkness.
I did a little softening on this image to try and give it a studio shoot and dreamy kinda moonlit feel. Don't know if i succeeded in this attempt, but the end result did make me happy when i printed it 4R. :-)
Enjoy!!!
@Celialee: Thanks Celia. :-)

Good workaround with the exposure. I bet that white must have been blinding :) Glad that you are happy with this shot, I know I am!

@allyy`*: You can stare back at her as much as you like pal. ;-) Will introduce you to her for real when you are down here next time. ;-)
Madhavi from United States
You've captured her expression really well. But the white is too white for my liking.
1 Jul 2007 6:54pm
@Madhavi: Thanks Madhavi, the white was indeed blinding. :)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
I must agree with Madhavi about the highlights. Otherwise very good. (I guess I've been spoiled by the classic style and technical perfection in the last couple of your portraits that I've just commented on.)
