Description Trying out an *actual* black and white, low-key, emerging from the shadows type of portrait. Saw it in DSLR mag and went home straightaway to try it out

Poured water on hair to keep in constantly wet, shot under hot blazing sun in my room, I think I'll get cataract earlier than most people This photo reminds me of the plentiful uses of a good ol' 18-55mm kit lens.

B&W conversion under green filter, and played around a bit.

The shadows and light work really well to balance out the composition. You have succeeded with this photograph.

It's a very nice picture, with a good contrast. Your hair, messy, carefree, blown willy-nilly across a face so serious and strong.

You know, most of your comments sound like you're writing a piece of poem or book or something. Not that I'm one to complain!

Thanks so much

Oh, I have to disagree. The poetry is all yours. It's in your pictures. I'm just coming in and expressing what I think you've written with your hair and eyes, your lips and your personality.

Oh my god, this looks AMAZING

I always wanted to do something with...like "messy" hair too, and kept searching for inspiration.

This is just great.

Aww thank you so much! 90% of my photos are messy hair stuff, so my face will be obscured I'm sure you'll look fantastic with messy
