Description
kinda part deux of :thumb29768339: ....wouldn't you interact with someone who smiles at you?
would you give someone yelling at you a real smile?
with the fucking eyes.
ya' know ...
well ... i know i friggin' wouldn't.
people who yell at me get the c-bomb dropped. guy or girl.
doesn't matter.
like the ungrateful bastard who i got rep'd by an agency who says, "dude ... stop making her look at you. i can't get anything."
he'd probably burned through a 1gb card.
the one thing about line shooters ... they don't care about making something interesting.
just the standard eye-contact-head-shot.
or 20 of them.
so ... what did i say to the ingrate?
"there's a reason you're back there ... and ... i'm out here. trust me."
fucked up?
well ... this is hollywood.
there are alpha dogs and dogs who lay at the ground spreading their legs.
dunno why i said that.
anyway ... this 85/1.2L ... i see with it the way i see with my leica m's. different ... but much the same.
i saw washed out with backlight.
focused on her left eye.
magical bokeh of some fucked up background that ends up looking cool.
bumping the contrast.
adding some noise to the noise that's alread inherent at 800 iso.
i can't believe how much i love this lens.
sadly ... the leicas have suffered ever since the new baby arrived as it were.
Visit my prints store !
canon e1dm2. 85/1.2L. 1/500th or so. f1/2. 800 iso. converted to b/w in ps cs with custom channel mixing actions. bumped contrast. adj levels.

fake or not! sheΒ΄s so beautiful and still, she does smile for the camera, at least i guess sheΒ΄s polite, of course i donΒ΄t anything about that media! but i still think sheΒ΄s nice and itΒ΄s part of the hollywood job to smile for the media...
great shot!! once again!

Bravo, maestro!
You have just proofed the value of 1.2
again, you should train with a 0.7 - then, riding that bull would be a piece of cake.

fake or not, she did smile at you and you got a great photo to surf the day

my pleasure mate. hey our newspaper is changing from a hundred years of broadsheet to tabloid next week. Ask me how much I want out of there! That place is going absolutely NUTS this month and I am so glad the photographic work is starting to finally pick up. Hope to be free of news media soon for a few years break.

fake smile? 
I'm guessing you're pretty sick of hearing what I'm about so say, but what the heck: Nice pic, well done

i love the humanity in your shots. they're not only exceptional technically, but so personal to look at. and beautiful. 
π: 0 β©: 1
If I was a celebrity, and I was looking through the photos people took of me at premieres/parties, and I saw a shot like this, that said the photographer actually had an eye for the asthetic and wasn't just shoving through people to catch a glimpse...man, it would make my day.
But I'm no celebrity, and I can only say that I love this shot.

hey man.
I've been watching you're stuff for quite a while, and I just thought I'd say, you're friggin great.
I love your frames. Not because the subject matter is famous. Not because you have the nicest collection of cameras I have heard of. But because you show these people in such an organic light. In a way which shows what underneath everything, underneath all the tabloid bullshit, what they really are. People. Simple people getting along in this world just like the next guy. And I really admire the way you have gotten as far as you have by being so down to earth with these people and treating them as regular people instead of doing what alot of photographers do and treat them as a simple headshot. an object which will keep readers interested in thier shitty little gossip mags.
I really dont even know where I'm going with this, or why I'm writing.
I wouldnt mind finding out a bit more about you. I guess.
You're an amazing photographer.
Just keep doin what you're doin.
Cheers.
James

really nice... very personal and intimate with a flash of showbiz... lovely.
π: 0 β©: 0
there's something arresting in this picture. the way she smiles at you in the moment when the flashes are lighting up for her in the background. an absolutely intimate portrait amidst the chaos of Hollywood.
a truly stunning photo.
btw, i'm pretty unfazed when it comes to Mischa. but even i feel the jolt when i look at this picture

my team member (there were 3 of us) ... he was like, "dude, come on let's see it" right after i made it.
he dug it.
i was stoked it all came together!
glad you like it as well!
cheers mate!!

"there's a reason you're back there ... and ... i'm out here. trust me."
hahah i love that.
this is such a lovely photo! i don't think i've actually seen her before (i don't typically follow tv and whatnot) ... she looks so sweet here :hearts:
π: 0 β©: 0
I really like the lighting in this. It's particular one of my favorites. So classic looking. Looks like it was shot in the 50s. Great job yet again. God I wish I had a Leica! lol
π: 0 β©: 0
yea there's definitely a reason why you're "out here"
π: 0 β©: 0
i really like this shot of her,
she looks really mature, very.. grown up. and beautiful.
so tell me, the line shooters.. they have to stay behind the rope and you are free to go where you please? (sorry, iv never been to any red carpet events..)

She looks like Sharon Stone in Casino

I'd wear a silly clown hat so maybe they'd look at me. You know youd keep looking over to get a good look at the hat. You wouldn't even have to say anything.

yeah, quite pathetic but thanks
i'd ship you a box of beer if i could :cheers:

nice shot mate,,
she looks wonderful there
can u teach me how to make this black and white picture,,it looks fantastic
π: 0 β©: 0
As soon as I saw this it really didnt look alot like Mischa Barton, it looks more like her after she has been rode hard and put up wet, but I have no idea what she has been up to nor do I care. Great shot as well as great focal point. I love the Blurred BG.
