ISO1600, f/1.4, 1/50s, and natural light (floodlight on the shed wall behind-right):

Thank you all for you comments, they are very useful to improve.Richard I agree that the skin in this photo is very smooth, may be too much, while the light is passing through the arms naturally.


Steve, thank you for the comment, I like to have the composition with the sight on the close side when the mood is thinking or sad. In this way I feel she is looking in her mind and not in the frame.


This are another couple of shots.

Thanks for the explanation Gian, I understand your thinking and it really works well.


Love the tones in the first image above.


The low key B&W above has beautiful lighting, a very intimate image, feels like the viewer is invited to share her thoughts, or wish they were. One of your best and I think my favaourite.

Steve, I just knew that whatever you said next would not be taken seriously (even if you seriously hoped it would)





Gian (and I'm being serious now) these are great portraits. Perfect lighting and well controlled exposure for the mood you want to convey.
