Description Recent self portrait.
Was trying to find the good light that disappeared in my bathroom since we painted over the white walls with dark grey :-/

Beautiful. So classic in black and white and such a beautiful self portrait.

Your skin is so pale and perfect, and the makeup is simplistic but totally flattering for this lucid self portrait. I love how your piercings all line up nicely too! Symmetry ahoy! e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)" /> Your eyebrows are so damn immaculate too. I like the bit of your hair that's fallen into the frame of the shot, and the negative space that it fills.

Your expression is certainly of contemplation. It really makes me want to know what's on your mind! I'm not sure how to describe it. Not troubled, but thoughtful and pondering. Whatever it is, it's beautiful e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> And so are you! Classic portrait from a classic girl.

I love the tonal subtlety of this piece and the translucent quality within the the eyes. The close crop emphasises the a sense of serenity within the subject. As a self portrait one has to acknowledge the skill and ingenuity of the model in setting up the shot.

I am reminded of some of the great shots of the golden age of Hollywood, evocative of Lombard, Dietrich and Garbo to name but a few. The lighting giving an impression of that style of glamour photography without a sense of the artificial.

A true classic IMO with a quality that beckons the viewer back for more. Not a picture I will tire of.
