Mine as well. It's even better as a 14x20, matted and framed, hanging on my wall.
She's a lovely lady. It'd be interesting to know what she'd think of this shot.

this is really beautiful. But, how did they get her hair up like that?

I suspect like any other bride - lots of work.
Although I have my suspicions that it's also a wig. But I could never confirm that one.

She absolutely is.
I have a 16x20 framed and hanging up in the living room. It's always funny to have guests over and ask who she is. The look on their faces are priceless when I saw I have no idea.

Dunno.
Some days I wondered if it was just a wig, though. Every bride's looked too similar.

What a gorgeous portrait! You have captured the essence of this culture so nicely..that quiet kind of elegance and stoicism. I particularly like the choice of viewpoint, I think it strengthen that feel really well. And technically the shot is beautiful too, the use of light, dof...everything is just lovely!

Thank you. Perhaps my personal favorite of all time. Especially since I can spin my chair around and look at it up on the wall, 16x20" print framed. We don't even know her, but she's a member of our family!

Aw that's wonderful. I can definitely imagine having that on my wall. I love that Japanese aesthetic, I've grown up with similar images and pieces of art around me, so your piece definitely speaks to my tastes

Thank you so much, Natalie. It's definitely my
. I've got it printed @ 16x20" and framed, hanging over my couch in the living room. The funniest part? I have no idea who she is.

Would it be a horrible inconvenience if I used this photo for an advertisement for friends for a trip to Japan? It's such a lovely photo.

It is amazing. What's a pitty than a background can't be lighter to show hair better.
