This picture is very effective. She looks at us through the soft focus as if to ask us to pay attention to the clearly imaged Chinese script on her back, as if she knows we understand the message and that it's importance. In this picture, it's as if she, herself, is also trapped and imprisoned in the confusion of the Chinese system and the writing is her message defiantly displayed from some balcony, at great risk. This is a brilliant concept you have successfully implemented.
In past times, much of art was purposed to honor the Church or the rulers, one way or the other. Today we have shifted much of our art that either expresses beauty alone or can sell goods. To go back to the work of ideas, reminds me of the great artists of the French Revolution, where ideas and protest was expressed so well. You have done that marvelously with your photograph of this lovely young woman. It's important both as art and for the vibrance and vitality of social conscience and our need to be invested in the condition of others.
Kudos and my greatest respects,
Asher

Bobpin,
I am very interested in the choice of Portra 160. (BTW, is that NC or VC?) Converting to B&W by simple removing color info or by assigning colors to different tonalities? I ask because I'm doing the latter. I have a feeling that it helps give us greater choice in the final output of the photograph, as opposed to using a B&W film in the first place.
Is this what you feel, or is this just happenstance that you had color loaded but B&W in your mind then or after the fact?
Asher
Bobpin,
I hope you have more in this series that you might share!

Gandolfi,
Very effective. I do like your work and your careful design and setup shows. Her arms and chest are snuggled close together towards the comfort of the cloth as if she's in her childhood again. Because of this, the lower limbs could be less compact and free, perhaps. I do miss her right foot nor being forward, just to get her a little more flowing and more open.... and I'd trade that doll just for that, LOL!
This is done in the dark totally? Or or the lighting painting is in addition to overall room light?
Asher
hi Asher.
all made in darkness....
The doll ... I love it..
You might be right about her foot, but I havn't thought about that before you mention it..
thanks.
