Love the lighting, love the contrast, love the lips, don't like the heavy mascara.
I have a very similar photo of a little girl that I should probably post...some day

As it was
she stared at me.
As she did
I wondered.
What it was
that she did see.
Her eyes like dark
half shadow's face.
And the mind
behind
which thoughts
did race.
She stared at me
and I wondered
true.
What did she see
when she stared
back at you?
Subtle intensity
to be seen
As the light
cast upon her
a pallid sheen.
She stares out
at the world
with strange eyes
bright.
As she stands
half in darkness.
Half in light.

Well there you go Philip. Inspiration strikes again. A beautiful and intense shot this one. Another poetic description for you. Hope you like it. Lovely work as always! -Lady Chase (Morgan)

softly glamorous and mysterious, I like it
can I ask, what do you use for the background? (black panel, for ex?)

Philster22 In reply to elyvirlan [2008-01-26 16:50:17 +0000 UTC]

thank you very much. its subtle but it holds a lot to mystery to it.
i took the shot in mostly darkness, with one lighting source. so its just a normal wall. no panels or sheets or anything.

MissAveryLouise [2008-01-24 18:43:44 +0000 UTC]

as pained as you are about how you are straying away from your black and whites somewhat, i am glad you kept this in color. It is dark, yet warm because of her skin tone

i like how the light falls just on one side of her face, makes it mildy mysterious as if she were peaking through the shadows, i just wish her hair wasnt as visible on the side of her face, so that you could focus only on her pretty face

overall great job!!!

Philster22 In reply to MissAveryLouise [2008-01-24 19:36:46 +0000 UTC]

hahaah ya ya i kno. but i am really proud with how this came out despite the lack of black and white in it.
and i kept the hair more or less to add just a lil depth to the photograph because as a portrait it is very up close and blunt.
but i am glad you like it...i think this is the first photo i have added in a while that you or i are not in haaa

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MissAveryLouise In reply to Philster22 [2008-01-24 19:45:44 +0000 UTC]

i understand the thing about keeping the depth

and yes this is a first in a while without me

but again amazing work, as always...
