Description Subject: Nicole Plesha, Michael Jackson Impersonator
Developed at Sac City darkroom
35mm

The way this one turned out is all in the enlarger. Contrast filter 4 really makes it! (...I'd hate to see it in neutral, wouldn't you?)

Edit: went over the hands with overlay opacity 16%. A commenter had suggested that the hands be not so washed out

Wow, I'm glad you think so! (Chaplin, by the way ) I really like how it reminds people of him. Thanks so much for all your comments, and your favorite as well!

great photo. i love high contrast. i took a photo class last semester....and i always used like a 3.5-4 filter. i hated the class....cuz i thot the teacher sucked...but i did love doing high contrast work. and this piece looks fantastic. nice composition and angle.

okay this shot is great! the background couch pattern against the shirt she is wearing - that contrast is amazing and really adds to this picture. i like the pose you took her in to and how you placed her within your picture.

I like this one! It's kinda creepy, but not in a negative, evil way. Like, almost a paranoid type feel to it.

Michael Jackson? i was thinking more like a mime artist? this one caught my eye the most of the ones you posted. something about the angles and lines that were really intruiging

Yep, MJ She does look a lot like a mime in this one. I've gotten a lot of comments like that. She looks a lot more like MJ here: [link]

I know that you weren't going for it, but I get a Charlie Chaplain vibe from this. Of course, she doesn't have his mustache , but I think it's the b/w, pale skin, and hat that do it.

Nibeesh In reply to Notoday [2007-05-18 19:59:27 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I'm glad someone got that impression from this photo, because Chaplin's one of my favorite actors. Many people have said that she looks a lot like a mime here. I myself have referred to this one as "the mime-looking one over there..." when pointing it out in my photography class.

Thanks so much for such a interesting comment~

the body is in such an awkwart position, that's what makes this shot so very interesting, plus I love the coice of black and white.
