Description
Title is borrowed from OneRepublic's song (I pretty like that) but it is more related to my model's nickname—in Tolkien's world Elbereth Gilthoniel is the Lady of the Stars. So is she, who loves both Tolkien and the stars, and her nick really suits her.You may meet already people who are camera shy. Elbereth isn't. She's more like camera grumpy. When the camera is on her, she tends to go extremely serious and taugh what is often suits her roles. You may already know her from my 森の女神 (Mori No Megami: Goddess of the Woods) series (especially from Mori no Megami and Nigen-sei ) where she acted so expressively and soulful. After all the shots like them you may understand my joy to take her shining and high-spirited! Even if the "star" in her eyes is just an octabox of our usual studio.

It was interesting. I had a version with all her top of the head intact but that image had no power at all. I see why this is wrong but this has the intimacy that makes this image work...
Thank you very much for your valuable insight, I appreciate it a lot!

She really deserve that nickname, since her radiant eyes and her so bright smile make her so joyful and full of grace!

Oh, so you are familiar with her nickname? Great! She really fond of stars, too, so her nick is a direct hit

Great portrait Hor! And it´s true ... Elbereth shows a very particular (interior) luminosity in her face.

i really enjoyed reading how you connected her portrait with tolkien, and it's just a wonderfully alive portrait too

Well the story gets full if I mention that Tolkien made us know each other. I was one of the founders of Hungarian Tolkien Society and she participated in several of our TLV contests then became a member, too. After some years of participating and organizing events we became close friends and she's like a kind of "Fairy Goddaughter" now So Tolkien's role was crucial here

that is sweet! i can understand having a personal connection with tolkein, my parents met because they both loved his work. so as silly as it may be, i can say that the reason i exist is at least in part due to him.

In our society we could start a Tolkien Kindergarden now And we are comparatively young, we established our society in 2012. I can imagine the older societies

Thank you very much! We did a great session (even though we had many technical problems like a boom falling apart and such) so perhaps more to come
