it´s all about light...

Uploaded: January 09, 2005

Description

this belongs to a portfolio i´ve done for a young girl that wants to be an actress. This photo was taken outside with the last rays of sun. That´s why the skin is so orange but i find it beautiful against the black clothes.

The Lighting is EXCEPTIONAL! It adds a little bit of Mystery to the Girl. The Colors and the Smoothness of the Girl's Skin are very Alluring to the eyes. Excellent Job Susana #203426

Appently you go by Su, so Hi Su,
Great shot of a beautuful woman, I hope she and you do well! I agree with you that the light makes this really "sing"(beautiful, wow, etc.) to use American slang. It IS all about the light.To quote Galen Rowell: "The first thing I think about is the light." (wish I could just "think" when I shoot!...:)
