Description
Taken in Beca's studio apartment with really weak lighting, which actually turned out suprisingly good. She's wearing a belly dancing costume she made herself. More form this set will be coming later.Related content

Oops, I forgot to mention that in this particular one I especially like the face in the corner, almost there, but your mind is left to fill in the rest. I have seen lots of face cropped photos over the years, but this one makes sense, instead of looking like a mistake, or just cutting off to be cutting off. You have all the information you need in the photo to have a finished image. Very well done. Kudos

I can't help but notice that you have a way with women and photographs. There is a trust there. Not the usual poses either. But they are memorable images. Your use of color is fabulous, warm and intimate. Impressive

really nice photo. I like the colours, the reds and gold compliments the mood, kind of seductive and i really like it. One thing is its a rather short field thats in focus, and unfortunatly i'd love to see the stomack in focus too. i guess theres not much you can do about that now. but i love the smoothness throught. its got a clean feel.
the framinig and composition looks great. its unusual not to see the eyes, but i think it works. providing a kind of vacant feel.
beautiful modle too, really.
great deviation, gald i came across it

Thanks for the great comment. There is actually a three part grouping to this series. I'll see what I can do about getting it posted sometime within the next few days, but no promises.
I can sort of agree with the depth of field, but I think that how it is just adds to the softness of the whole feeling.

Weak lighting can be one of the strongest tools for portaits, as I have learned. I have a friend who paints her models with light in complete darkness and gets the most amazing effect. It's unbelievable. [link]
I really like this shot. It feels really warm. I can't really put my finger exaclt on it...

Sorry it took me so incredibly long to get back to you on this. Your friend has some really interesting techniques there. I might have to try my own variations and ideas on that subject.

its the same fabric!! on the clothes as well as the thing she's lying on (uh, just struck me that could be a cape or whatever from the outfit tho)
I love the angle and the cropping, you can just see enough (her eye) to get her emotions through the lens.
Impressive stuff

I like the angel you had when you took the photo.
I also like how all the colors flow together.
I think that having the focus go soft right at mid torso makes her look more comfortable.
Keep the good photos coming.

that's delicious. The fabrics are really rich and the contrast with her skin is just lovely especially in the gold tones, very warm. Wonderful photo.
Loto.

She's got even more amazing costumes, I'll post pictures of those later so check back. The tone combo between her skin and the bed turned out in a way I'm really fond of. Thanks for the comment.
