Description
Uroda is a Slovakian goddess of agriculture, fields, and gardens.This seemed fitting since she knew of a great garden location for shooting.
Uroda also means 'beauty' in Polish and seems to be the name of several pagents and festivals in European areas.
There is a series of images where I was experimenting with high contrast lighting, and though there were several shots that were too blown out, there were a few that turned out alright.

Thanks again, Cassie... I'm glad you liked this one enough to add it, too.

She is, indeed. It makes it almost too-easy to photograph her, though I still manage to mess it up from time to time!

Yeah. I know what you mean, man!

Very nice shot. Again I like the lighting a lot, especially the hairlight looks great. What I would have done different is to choose such a pov/angle to show less of the background, but more of the foreground (where her hand is). That tilt is neat too.

Yeah, I think if I could do it over again, I would have done just that, but I was so into the look she had with the backdrop, I didn't want to move to get more of her in there! ha!

I'm a fan of really contrasted B&W pictures, so I really appreciate this one!
I always like your photography

InΓͺs, thanks again for sharing your thoughts on my stuff... I really appreciate it!
I've been trying to experiment with some high-contrast shots lately, and though I botched a bunch of them (ha!), I still have a few that I'm going to show (I think).
I'm glad that I've been able to keep your interest with my shots, though!

Thanks, Sarah! I'm glad like the recent work. She and I have been having a lot of fun lately, and with all our different ideas, I'm thinking there's going to be a fair amount of stuff in here I'll be sharing.

Sounds awesome! I wish I had time to learn photography, but I just don't... lol, maybe next year! Your work is great though. Where do you find all this old world fairy tale stuff? I love that kind of stuff, but some of what you have I've never heard of.

Yeah, there's always time to learn new things... or, at least I like to think so, anyway! Haha!
As for all the fairy tale stuff -- well, it comes from all over, actually! In college, I'm in the English department with a concentration on creative writing and analysis, so I read a bunch of those stories. I've always loved myths and fables, so I read them on my own, and I incorporate some of them into my own work, so I've got all sorts of ideas for their titles and likenesses on order. I didn't know you were a fan of stuff like that, though... that's very cool!

Yeah I actually thought about going to college for creative writing... but I don't see why I need I degree in it. I've studied creative writing since I was three and I learned to read. Besides, what would I do with a college degree? I'm not trying to impress anyone, so it's useless to me. That's pretty cool that your taking those courses though. I love fairy tales. I own the complete works of the Grim Brothers. The originals, not the disney'ed versions.

I can see what you mean... I had to decide on a path for the last semesters of the degree and creative writing was the side I chose, though my degree will be in English (with a double minor) alone. I love fairy tales, too... and I have a couple different collected works ilke you do, too.

That's really cool! It's nice to meet someone who likes fairy tales, and doesn't just think of Disney ones.
