Description Studio, strobe lights, part of a big series I am working on. This is something very different from what I've been working with, I like to experiment with different elements.

That's nice, 'black nd white'... It has a techno feeling, My english is not that good enough for explaining my feelings with this picture. Good work

i like the way the form of the sunglasses stands out against the paleness and becomes almost sensual. I am very curious as to the technique you used to create this. It's a great concept for commercial photography because the focus is truly on the glasses. the reflections and play of light in the left lens of the sunglasses adds a little depth which I think would otherwise be lacking. I am not sure i like the positioning of the hands, but the backlit quality of the light and the beauty of the model's hands coupled with the paleness of the photo outside the sunglasses still creates a beautiful effect. I am not sure what it is about the hands that bothers me, but i can say that if the rest of the photo were as vivid as the sunglasses, the hand placement would seem unnatural enough for me to dislike. As is, this is a very striking photo. the one thing that catches my eye that I dislike is the expression in the model's mouth, it makes her look a little disgusted or depressed. i feel a bit cold to the photo when I see her mouth, there isn't enough of a connection between the model and me as i view it. she seems a bit lost in her own world, andthat would probably detract from the power of this as a commercial photo when you are trying to sell the glasses. but the mouth is actually a minor detail to me, the rest of it I love!

You are truly gifted. Your photos have passion and confidence to them. A lot of photography I see just works on one level (i.e. Advertisement, Art etc..). What stands out about your work is that it functions on so many levels. This would be just as comfortable in a fashion magazine, in a gallery or in an hanging in a office setting. I look forward to seeing more of your experiments.

As a way of selling sunglasses this works fantastically... The only criticism I might have is the hand at the far left, it just feels a little like the glow around the fingers kind of draws attention away from the sunglasses, it might work better if that part was cropped out slightly...

I love how the face is very neutral, and the glasses are the focus of the pic... If I suited the glasses I'd buy!

I really like the dreamy feel and the way it brings out the shades.

I love the way the light blurs out the outlines of the hands - it's almost dreamlike.

dA kept messing up how I saw this with the image appearing behind the description. I had to keep refreshing and finally I was rewarded with seeing it.

I love how airy it feels. The elements you combined are so pretty together. I think it shows off the sunglasses, but it also shows off the girl and creates a calm but exciting atmosphere.

Very interesting effect made with the hands flared. I like it. It seems the glasses are a bit too dark compared to the rest of it, they distract from the focus I find it in, which would be the radiant hands.
Good, still.
