Description There should be a category called "Speed Portraiture." This is just a quick portrait of ~pullmyheartstrings taken after she finished modeling for + suzi9mm . I think our entire shoot lasted about 90 seconds. Lara's a good model, and obviously very pretty too. We should do some more shooting when we have some more time.

i like how this shot is mostly in shades of light grey. produces a very pleasing effect. her nose was bugging the heck out of me until i read that it was a piercing in a previous comment. for 90 seconds you did very well.

man, you definitively rock that one is also a masterpiece. Looks like Cameron Diaz, huh? Well, anyway, your B& W are close to be perfect I like the look in her eyes very much. It's just a shame you put yr watermark on it but I understand... Cheers--fLOW.

she's got her septum pierced.

and i set up the softbox on the opposite side of her, in mirrored position to the camera. there was a black cloth behind her. i asked her to look off to the distance and took the picture. very quick.

dottiemaggie [2005-01-01 20:53:31 +0000 UTC]

she is very pretty does she have a septum piercing, or is that just some crazy light thing in her nose?
this has kind of a sad goodbye feel to it... like she's in a plane looking out the window..or somesuch mode of transportation (just not driving anything, because she does not look like she's paying attention to where she's going, only to what she's leaving behind, and that's just not safe.)

i wasn't quite done last night, still a few pieces left to comment on

I would have hoped that you could have had more time with her, I've always loved the way she looks, and I'm sure a great photographer like you could see lots of opportunities in her

Great shot, 90 seconds, I can't say anything but... god job, because that's what it is, it might be a bit.... I don't know, unfinished, she looks a bit like she's in a hurry, don't know if the composition or whatever is doing that, but that's what I somehow feel when looking at the photo

In all, good job, great lightning as always, detailed.

Excellent image - the reflection of the window/light box/whatever in her eyes and the overall lighting are incredibly effective and the composition is spot on.

moonbeam13 [2004-11-22 01:25:56 +0000 UTC]

First things first, she's an absolutely stunning model with gorgeous facial structure and your lighting just defines that even more I'm awe-struck by the beauty of it all.

Your tagline catchlight in the eyes really deepens her far off gaze and I'd love to know what she's so deep in thought about.

Really nicely pulled off and taking into consideration the time frame you did it in, I'm doubly impressed.

hmm not sure about contemplate as the title.. i guess its hard to tell between that and day dream, and sometimes they are one and the same..

she is very beautiful.. very very beautiful.. but what happened about your "max" serious? abstract body part?
