November 2014 Portraits

[Ari]

Thank you, Peter; sometimes, I too, curse the commercial background. I feel as if I've traded creativity for repeatable results, or it feels like I've been taking the same photo for 20 years, just swapping equipment.
It was very nice meeting up in New York, I just wish there had been more time; the place was so busy.
I'd like to do another photo with Richard using the borrowed Cooke XVa, hopefully in a week or two.

I'll probably post a couple more from the series as I get them scanned.



Didn't quiet rotate her far enough for the profile though:

This is got something going for it in terms of both composition and storytelling!

Nice, a suggenstion, the second shot I think is improved if the top of her head is cropped down to the hair line on her forehead to remove the hot spot, still both nice shots.

Thanks! That's a great suggestion, I still have trouble realizing that's an option, too many cut off heads from my twin lens days I guess.

I guess I've gotten too distracted since I missed the portrait thread for November until just now. OUTSTANDING!

I agree, composition is outstanding.
