Description I remember this girl when she was 15. Still very hot. But ... damn has she blown-the-f-up.

I remember her publicist trying to tell me how big she'd be. I hear that a lot.

But ... he was right.

This was a b/w convert from a Canon 1D file. i know it was f2.8, 800 iso ... probably 200/250th of a second.

ha, i don't even know who Mischa is... i really don't. but that's a nice capture. even though the banding noise of the 1D is evident. i bet it looks much worse in colour.

God, you have such great lighting in these B&Ws. Not to mention you're shooting Mischa and all the others

It's her hair. And her face of course, so unique.

And she's seems pretty down-to-earth, which shouldn't really matter to me, but in a sense it makes me find anything she is in, or any other "decent" celebrity for that matter, more watchable.

ghosts [2005-09-15 00:02:21 +0000 UTC]

we see photos of her all the time now.. see her on tv and in magazines. this photo is striking and special because she has a vulnerable and hungry look in her face.. that and it is sweet. is it challenging to shoot these people who have this residue of celebrity all over them? does that make it harder to get a fresh shot?

anyway, i like this.

cweeks In reply to ghosts [2005-09-15 04:03:30 +0000 UTC]

yep ... and i remember when she was 17. a nobody. and then BOOM.

that's the way it happens sometimes.

i think the hungry look you see is actually insecurity. she -- like many girls -- seems insecure when she doesn't have a boyfriend.

yes, sometimes, it is difficult to shoot these people in a fresh way.

it's a very odd life.

very hard to achieve balance.

very hard to maintain a "personal life."

then again, i don't know a whole lot of photographers in either l.a. or n.y.c. that are successfully married.

cheers love!

Mischa Barton is gorgeous. I remember her in her Disney Dolphin movies. I was probably 9 when that one came out, but she still oddly caught my eye when I was watching my everyday-afterschool disney stuff and she was in the water chillin' with those dolphins. She wasn't as tall back then O_o;

I love your focus on this shot ^.^ It's real perdy.

hopefully she didn't date billionaire heirs with a penchant for partying back then.

Chris--I can believe she was 15... really great portrait save for the left eye that is out of focus but it works anyway. It's just that I would have preferred the right eye out of focus and the left one in cuz I read pics from the left to the right (thus I would prefer finishing the "reading" with something in focus, you know what I mean...) as opposed to [link] which is just about to be the perfect shot! I don't know why I tell you that, you're a pro and I'm not but... Well, congrats anyway ! Cheers--fLOW.

I hate you (just because you shot her, of course) but I'm afraid I have to fav this one.
I remember Mischa when she was 15 too... and always tought like her publicist. Well, I have to stop being so obsessed about Mischa...
So, just... stunning shot.

Checking back to the good old DeviantART, seeing that I commented on this photograph almost a year ago, without adding it to my favourites... Incredible! Started watching The O.C recently - that smile is not to be mistaken

I really love your shooting style, seeing you shoot at the maximum most of the time, or atleast the work you post here, and I love it, just picking out the most sensual features here, and that backround is just hot, really really good stuff, I have had the 2.8L lens for about a month now, and trying to work it, I think its my new favorite glass, and I shoot landscape

The black and white is really good too, I have never shot digital black and white, do you ever shoot with intentions of different high content grain, or is that totally taboo in the commerical business?

I don't know who she is, im really out of the loop on movies and stars and such, but she is gorgeous, and you sure know how to capture that.


Awesome man.

nice photo, I really enjoy how only one eye is in perfect focus; good choice of the very shallow DOF to create a different photo.

her smile looks so unconfortable though!
