Description
Another portrait of Kerrie Donnelly...this time, a relatively "straight" edit...and yes, those curls are natural. I don't think I've ever had a model whose hair was easier to fix!Related content

And I reckon she could do a number of different styls of shoots too! How great!

Yep! She did, actually!

Lovely! I really like the contrast on her skin because it adds an overall softness to the photo.

She looks so very '

Yes...normally I would've aged an image like this one...but for some reason, the clean look of a "plainer" conversion appealed to me more. (I did do a vintage version--but it never really felt quite right.) It was fun working on it, though! (And isn't that half the fun of an image? Not knowing quite where it'll wind up?

Thanks! I had a great subject!

Indeed it is! I used to wear it swing and ballroom dancing, back when I was dancing several nights a week. (That was BEFORE I discovered middle-aged knees! 
I dearly love pretty, romantic necklaces...which is quite funny, because I never wear them--as I'm really a jeans and sweatshirt kind of girl. Can't be bothered with all the fuss of looking as girly as I am on the inside.

That is so funny because I also have a few romantic necklaces, bought for a certain occasion, that I've worn one time. My Mom has a ton of jewelry that she's going to leave me and I'm sure it'll just sit in the box, which is a shame because there's some very pretty stuff in there. I keep telling her to leave it to my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, they're both very girly!! I'm with you though, jeans and a sweatshirt are the norm for me too!!

Yep--that's me! Buy it for one thing (even if it's something that hasn't happened yet--and may never!
So when we're too eccentric old ladies living next door to each other, we can shuffle around in our jeans and sweatshirts, invite `MYvonne over to visit us, and show off our romantic jewelry, wherever we have it stashed, and then put it back, and go outside and play with the dogs. (Well, maybe I'll dress you two up, in all the jewelry and long flowing robes, and shoot you, first--but THEN we can chuck it all, and go play with the dogs.

You know I saw a movie yesterday with Diane Cannon in it and OMG she looks fantastic! She's gotta be what, 70 or so by now? I mean she was married to Cary Grant for Pete's sake! Anyway that's how I see us when we get old, earthy but still lookin' good!!

NOW you're TALKIN'!!!!

Yeah--her hair was quite amazing. I was very jealous!
Sadly, I don't feel I captured her as well as I'd've liked, as I normally only shoot people after having met them, beforehand--so that I have a chance to really *think* about how I see them. This, however, was a shoot where I met her and shot her on the same day...and I was also juggling two other models, one of whom was also new to me--and so I don't think I did all I could've.
Ah well--perhaps I'll have the chance to shoot her again, somewhere down the line!

She has the most lovely-shaped eyes. Beautiful portrait.

I was bowled over by her eyes--hers, and her sister's--as her sister was also being shot that day. Apparently everyone in their family has these long, sloe-shaped eyes with outrageously long eyelashes. I was quite jealous--but delighted to be able to photograph them!
And nice to hear from you, my friend!

when I first saw the series ( especially the part with shots where your pretty model's shown en face ) , I thought of Winona Ryder and the movie " Little Women "Also, she's got this ' something ' in her eyes that brings about thoughts of portraits from the beginning of the XIXth . In my language we'd call these kind a ' roe-deer eyes" , intriguing in their shyness, lovely

Now the funny thing about THAT, is that my boyfriend has been trying to convince me she looks like Winona Ryder--and yes, he mentioned "Little Women"!
And I agree with you about the eyes. I am absolutely fascinated by them. I'm an "eye" person--and hers are very fey, very sylph-like--they look like she's dreaming secret dreams--lovely dreams. (I love the phrase "roe-deer eyes"! We sometimes say "Bambi eyes"--but that's usually for larger eyes. I actually have rather Bambi-ish eyes--especially with a pair of false eyelashes on!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, that's quite funny indeed, a nice coincidence, or rather..you'll now need to admit she DOES resemble Wynona
...don't mention eyes. Mine are rather strange and I know some people are afraid to look me in the eyes, haha -it's just they think I'm watching even if I'm not

LOL--well, that's what Jack said--"SEE! I TOLD you she looks like Winona Ryder!"
"Roe-deer" *might* be translated "Bambi eyes"--but I think it *sounds* much better the original way...it sounds more graceful, and delicate--a little wilder. Sometimes people say "cow eyes", too--but that doesn't sound at ALL graceful or romantic--and definitely is for larger, very liquid eyes with long dark lashes.
And for the record--I think your eyes are fantastic--yes, kind of owlish--very dramatic. If you were here, I'd keep you so busy posing for me, that you'd never have the chance to do your own work!

I'm impressed, we definitely don't have so many words to describe eyes. These " roe-deer "are possibly the most popular in descriptions ( I mean , if there are any relations to the wild life to be shown ) , and possibly the cat eyes (quite popular in your language too, I suppose )...oh my, I may be wrong, now I begin to remind all these doggy , lizard, and so on- eyes, haha...
And I'd love to pose you, I always envy your lovely models the opportunity to wear such wonderful costumes, while mine are usually a matter of illusion within a frame . I'm sure they must feel very special during the session. My work's usually based on suggesting things, while your is a real theatrical rehearsal during taking shots!

Ah, but your suggestions are very, very powerful! Mine literal sets, while fun to build, leave the viewer less scope for the imagination! (And I am always awed, by how much you suggest, with so little...and trying to incorporate that into my own work, somehow!

Beautiful! I'm so jealous of her hair if those are natural! lol
Great shot as well!

I agree--I'm jealous, too!!! Me, I can curl my hair with a curling iron...and have lovely ringlets for a whole two hours--and then it all falls out, and nothing's left but a gentle wave. It's not fair, I tell you!
(And thank you!
