Description Last one from this shoot. This lacked something in colour, but I somehow like it in B&W. Not sure if I'll move it to scraps later though.

Converted to B&W via the calculations method + blue tone in PS.

Model: +suzi9mm

(The title is indeed a little tribute to Dirty Dancing. Can you believe that I went to see it in the cinema for 12 times or something at the time. Remember when Patrick Shwizzle was leaving after being sacked. Saying goodbye to Baby, while he sang this himself in the background. Oh how my little teenage heart ached... )

I relish in her esoteric beauty; a rare gem to behold!
Dirty Dancing left an indelible imprint on so many of us "average looking" girls. Baby gave us hope that we too would find a handsome Johnny Castle to love us.

i don't know how the color version looked, the the black and white (and blue) works very well here. halfway between looking like an underwater picture and a classic glamour portrait. you're lucky to have such a good model (and photographer) so close by and willing to pose for you.

I like the lighting in this image, the errie glowing lighting works perfectly, and the black lips contrast beautifully aginst the white of the skin and teeth and the hair has a lovly fluid motion about it. The only problem I have with it is the ear rings, I do not think that the suite the image at all and the one on the left hand side is distracting.

My teenage heart ached as well!

I love this, it's beautiful. It definitely feels windswept, I love the angle. I really like how her hair flows upwards off of her face and how her lashes are upswept and her eyes are just glowing. I can hear the song playing.

The one thing I'm not too keen on is the lips - very dark and sequined. I sort of focus on her lips and start to lose the lovely breathy feeling of the rest of the shot. The B&W works pretty well. I wish there was a bit more soft light on the hair, so you could see a little more detail in it - I love hair. A soft sepia hue would have worked as well.

Such a lovely shot! Now I'll be thinking of that song all day!

ink-brains2 [2005-01-24 14:36:49 +0000 UTC]

nice... i think the black and white really works well on this one... especially with the way her skin seems to just glow...
she looks like she's been swept up by the wind

Lecta [2005-01-19 01:46:53 +0000 UTC]

really nice, i like the colours and the tones but maybe you could cut the sequins on the lips so that you still get the sequin sparkley goodness but you have the straight lines that are found in the rest of the piece (did that make any sense?)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mnoo In reply to Lecta [2005-01-20 08:04:18 +0000 UTC]

It did make sense, but as this picture was a by-product of another shot there's not a whole lot I can do about it now.

aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh! now I'm stuck in work with that goddamn awful song in my head.

but seeing as you provide pictures like that to go with the soundtrack I'll let you off. the lighting is great. if you don't mind me asking what did you use and how long did it take to set up?

Flash with the octabox in front on the left and a wide angle flash behind her head sorta. Same exact as in glad red.

This one is simply ethereal in every sense.
Seems likely to slip away from grasp at any moment..

Altogether this shoot of yours came out extremely diverse in its content, and almost genre. I really am overally impressed with the collection you've chose out of it.
