Description
Now how to glue mice to the edge of the universe? And why would anyone want to do that? Daydreaming is fun.Shot this today, as i wanted to try a new lightingstyle and editing.
Snooted Nikon SB 24 & 26 from back left and right and a SB 24 shot through an umbrella from above the camera.

I definitely agree with most of the comments, the lighting is killer.

Thank you! Kind of borrowed that style, but as it's used by a lot of photographers, i guess it's okay.

Nice! Facial expression is great and the tone and colors are really good. Good job!

Cool, thank you! Will check it out immediately. Looks very good so far (the feature).

Great to see an unusual expression for once. I like the clarity of the shot, and the darkness and light contrasts. Great job

Haha, it's my usual thinking-hard-expression.
But yeah, it's a bit different from all those deviantspace-glory-angle-shots showing overlit fat teenagers holding the cam in one hand above their head. Muahahar.
Thanks a lot for the comment!

See this is the kind of self portrait that i like to see. The honest kind, the "this is who i am and im a little strange so deal with it" kind. Great shot.

Hahaha, thanks for the great comment! Guess we're on the same wavelength with this. Though this is not much of a coincidence i think, as dA get's spammed with "i'll take a shot of me and my camera in a mirror, showing the goods"-myspace-shots with absolutely no artistic value.
And for being strange: I like being looked at as strange, how could i distinguish myself from the masses otherwise?

Great expression, and nice choice of lighting and background!

Thanks! It's my usual "mhhh ... what are we gonna eat todaaay ..."-expression a bit exaggerated and i wanted to try that lighting-style for a while now and the bg is just a wall in my room. ^^

Glad you like it ... errr well me!

Ouh, gotta check that out!

The expression is really nicly done and a nice soft background (neutral) which I like. Lovely shot!

Thanks a lot! ^^ That's one of the faces i make when thinking about something really hard.
The background is just one of the walls in my room, blurred, cause of the short dof.

It's a nice concept

Thank you!
Yeah, i like to shoot some dodgy stuff for a change sometimes.

I always end my shoots with a few comical shots, were the models have to play with a prop i give them. By now i've only published one of those pics, but i think when i've gathered enough, i'll release a whole series of the guys and gals improvising.

Danke sehr, freut mich wirklich zu hΓΆren! ^^
Jo, ich wollte es mΓΆglichst nicht wie ein Beautyportrait wirken lassen, sondern realistisch, mit Fehlern, weshalb ich in der Nachbearbeitung sogar noch etwas aufgedreht hab. In Wirklichkeit glΓ€nzt meine Haut gar nicht so doll und irgendwie gleichmΓ€Γiger ist sie farblich gesehen auch. Keine Ahnung warum, aber ich wollt einfach mal intensiv aussehen.

ohhhhh ich mag es so wie es ist. ich bin auch kein fan von portraitretusche oder wie sich da nennt
π: 0 β©: 1
Och ich finde es gibt solche und solche Gelegenheiten. Wenn ich mich selber fotografiere, kann ich das natΓΌrlich einfach mal durchziehen und mich schΓΆn abgehΓ€rmt aussehen lassen, aber wenn ich jemand anderen habe, der fΓΌr mich modelt, dann mΓΆchte ich schon mΓΆglichst nah an deren Idealselbstbild kommen mit der Nachbearbeitung und glΓ€tte daher auch die Haut und mach hier und da was weg.
Aber ich bin noch auf dem Weg das ganze subtiler zu machen, sodass es irgendwann hoffentlich auch natΓΌrlich aussieht, wenn ich eine Beauty-Retusche mache.

Glad you like it! ^^
I'd like to daydream more often without worrying about so called important things in life.

Aw look at that cute face
Love your expression.
And love your hair. It's all spikey. I just want to touch it
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahaha, thanks a lot!
Glad someone other than me likes my hair.
If we should ever meet, i'd be more than glad to let you touch my hair, lol.

If I ever met you, I'd probably faint because I'd be meeting a super amazing photographer.
Then after I gained my composure, I would commence with the touching of your hair

But still, thanks a lot for the egoboost.

No exaggeration, sir.
I'd be out like a light

Errrm, yup. That's why i placed it in "Self Portraits".

Hehehe, you look very mature for your age. As opposed to me.

Well i guess there's no way i could extricate myself from this, so let's just forget what i said and move on to another topic. How about flowers?
