Description This is part of dA Internal Affairs .

was kind enough to be a part of this project. I've had a very nice time meeting her in person and working with her.
This is from the second part of our shoot where she's NOT posing in her own jeans and her lovely sweater...
That mark on her cheek is her hair and I didn't want to remove it digitaly...ok?

was there supporting this.

ps: I wasn't sure whether I should submit this as digital art or photography and I'm still not sure...Categories annoy the hell out of me...

____________________________________

when i stare in a particular area on the photo (somewhere in the center), i feel that the figure is swinging! that she will step back and she will glide into the void, or she'll maybe manage to fly...then i see the shadow and i understand the "illusion".

so, except from the technically perfect shooting, you have done and very good post production work here [clouds, floor, colors]!

i cannot judge what the figure "reflects". only that in this -i- can see a piece of me.

thank you!

That's very close to what I saw! I feel that "she" will let herself fall back into that void (which I like to think has no end), and the shadow is there just to let me feel safe cause I have "fear of heights".
Thank you much much much for your words and the fact that you can see that piece of you in there is wonderful (it's what i always wish to hear from people who pose for me but...)
The colours are how I felt them while we were shooting in "Paris"
Thank YOU!

That's so wonderful, especially because it looks so strange that there's no shadow on the floor. I really like that, looks like she is flying.

(And once again, the scenery is just awesome. I so love the floor.)

ostanine In reply to tw13ve [2006-04-29 02:09:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. The reason that there's no shadow on the floor is because the light comes from behind the camera (from a window). It doesn't come from above.

ostanine In reply to Pytheas [2006-04-26 15:14:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. All I had to do regarding the make up was to ask ~Fragho for a retro look. The dress was also something that she found in a βεστιάριο (what's that called in English?...).

Pytheas In reply to ostanine [2006-04-26 18:06:01 +0000 UTC]

Is Fragho that good at make-up?? And she found this classy dress as well? You must be lucky to be working with her, she seems like an excellent partner...

vkansanen [2006-04-24 14:17:21 +0000 UTC]

Amazing capture. I love this one. It has an air of the old 1920's backstage shots, except for the slight surrealistic tint. She seems so very displaced and out of character, yet there's a silent and serious grace to her. Very nice work, my friend.

No problem, my good fellow. You're one of the few photographers here that get me excited about the possibilities of photography. I sneak around to comment on your work... Don't tell anyone else. I'm trying to keep my head down, so people won't get pissed off at me not bothering to comment and fave stuff anymore.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ostanine In reply to vkansanen [2006-04-29 02:28:05 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha ha...that was funny but it also gives me courage coming from you. Commenting and faving is something that I am very strict at (besides the fact that I am veeeery sloooow at deciding how much I like something sometimes). I don't do favours to anyone. If I love something I fave it. If it makes me say something I say something. I'm not so sure that others operate the same way. I do think that you don't "return favours" either and that is another reason I get excited if I receive a comment from you. Honesty seems to be such a time-saver as I grow older.

vkansanen In reply to ostanine [2006-05-04 10:54:40 +0000 UTC]

True indeed. No, I don't do favours. I mean, I do consider you a friend of sorts (I don't really believe in internet based socializing) but that doesn't mean I comment or throw you bones. That's why I sort of had to start over with this dA shit, I needed this to be based upon my work, not how much ass I kiss. Force it to be more objective about my art in a way. I have enough real people in my life to get along without all this deviantart gibberish. I respect honesty, it is a rarity and yes, a time-saver.

That dress, the hair, that make-up, the background (reminds me of a sky just before a storm ), that pose... It's all so perfect.

Simply wonderful!

The background is partially a photograph of a sky. I suppose it is the grey tint of the wall that makes it look stormy

So I was on the right track with the background. That's pretty cool.
