The inimitable Sharon. Best friend, partner-in-gig-going-crime and the original portrait guinea pig.
It might not have been my most successful shoot in terms of signal to noise ratio, but it's probably the one I had most fun with.
Phwoar! ;-)
What is it about you and taking upward shots of people. Do you have a fetish for necks or chins by any chance?
Or are you just a really small person?
Sharon looks like trouble... look at that naughty glint in her eyes ;-)
Heh. I don't actually, but now that you come to mention it, it's just chance that three of the four pictures I've posted this week so far have been from that point of view.
There are a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:
- Yes, I am, in fact, a short-arse.
- My current and previous digital cameras had swivel screens on them, and my preferred method of shooting is from the waist, looking down on the screen with the lens swivelled to whatever view point I'm hoping for, rather than at the traditional eye-level.
- It can sometimes be a flattering angle to see people from (it can, for example, hide double chins, which is why it's something I frequently employ in my self-portraiture).
- The pictures I've posted have been the ones where I think I've managed to get closest to capturing the presonality of the person, and are technically and aesthetically good enough to be posted.
So, from the photo alone..
She's naughty but not nasty, likes mischief but not trouble, she's confident (or at least portrays confidence) and is fully aware of the power that she has as a woman, and uses her entire self. I would say she is probably a flirt but would never ever cheat, and enjoys girlie nights in on occasion, but prefers a good night out much more.
Close?
She also has exceedingly nice bosoms, and has boots that should really appear on the Shoe Project someday soon.
You mean these ones?
Gordon: Not bad. Not bad at all :)
Wow... stunning.
Great shot, full of personality.
Gordon What can I say except you are spot on. I do love the girly nights in but love the nights out more, and as for confidence, thanks to Pix it is going through the roof.
D - tut tut ;o)
Great portrait... full of personality! I like the fact that the images you've posted so far have been from different cameras too.
And there's me thinking she reminds me of a nun I once knew. But that's another story . . .
And all the fun of the shoot definitely shows in this portrait . . . which leads me to wondering how much of the personality of the photographer there is in this image too . . .
