I have known her for about a year, and just finaly shot her yesturday. Desided to play with it a bit. I don't know I think I'm stuck in a B&W/ sepia Kick or somthing. Comments Welcome -Gabe-

Gabe, If I didn't see her tank top, I would have thought I was looking at what I perceive to be a mermaid. And, the expression on this face that you captured, something so beautiful and almost melancholy. The sepia simply adds to it.

I'd personally like to see her tighter in the frame, and not merely cropped. Make it tighter baby, and no sexual innuendos intended. ry

Wow. The sepia looks so nice but I would also love to see this in a b/w not the usual contrasty b/w but the subtle lots of grey shades b/w. I think it might look better. Perhaps bring out her hair more. But I could be wrong. Just courious of how it would look. Nice picture buy the way. Bsteph

This IS really beautiful, I dig the tone. Oh, and the model is really photogenic. .n

OK: Antoonio: Yes I agree compleetly. I was astonished as to how photogenic she acualy is. She is a good girl too, by that I mean that what her face expresses, is really her. she is sweet conservative shy and inocent in real life. that makes her unique because her eyes show the inocence. she also looses 10 years in front of the camara, which is a nice thing. Weirdstop & syyd: the effect came by axcident. I was trying to get a head shot that really showed her personality or her soul. (I think this one does) I braceted 2 stops boath down and up because I wasn't sure how the shadows and sun were going to affect the skin tones. This was the one bracked ted 2 stops up If I remember corectly. I Knew that this weffect as going to happen to one of th images and hapen to like it. The one in her portfolio is a color vertion and has perfect color density. That one might work as a soft Grey image. Slynky: I did shoot some of her tighter in the frame. i haven't had the chance to work with them yet though I'm behind a bit on post work. -Gabe- -Gabe-
