straight portraits on black.
not a lot more to say.

thanks to Shika and Rhondra.
and more will follow.
also some guys, i hope.

and i did some redesign to my portfolio with better navigation.

the pink princess. dont get that messed up with the pink lady.
they share a lot in common, but are different at least the same.

and the pink lady is now red.
guess she grew up.

maturing by colour.
how cool is that.

going public transport.
playing with a little camera.

doing one thing while doing another.
talking to friends and taking a picture.
not the one that is going to save the world.

next time.

but i like her look here. caught off-guard.
distraction is the keyword.
thinking about something else than being photographed.
with image-conscious people there are two options:

great shot.
crappy shot.

and often the second take is better.
taken a split-second after the real photo.

and in real portrait settings it boils down to being patient.
especially with those camera-conscious people.

i have to know, i can feel a camera that is going to be pointed at me while its still in its bag.

be fast. or take your time.

setup follows hundred year old family pictures.
including the plant on the table.

someone who was more into effects and tricks would have done more.
added scratches. dust. torn edges. toning. fading colours.

if it was for a movie, where someone finds this picture on his attic. maybe yes.
for a present picture. no.
why would a photographer degrade a picture.
with things that any person tries to avoid happen to their pictures.
keeping the memory alive.
keep it from melting away.

nothing did we know how appropriate the look from an old family album would be.
only some years later.
