Artist's Comments

The Photo

DA has given me many things over the past three years - a renewed appreciation for artwork and the ability to meet other artists - including one who has made a huge impact in my life. I am incredibly thankful for having met her and I look forward to the good times ahead - toast and all (and maybe even a game of lawn darts)! This was taken on the night of ~facade-of-life's prom - I wanted to do some portrait shots that would concentrate soley on her face. The 50mm f1.4 came in handy with the shallow depth of field and I've used a Photoshop technique to mirror colour negative post processing. You can find a simple tutorial here: [link]


This one is for you, Holly - thank you for everything. You are the Lawn Dart Queen.

:heart:

Offering affordable photography without losing the quality!

I might've gone with a larger aperture JUST so you could see her whole face in focus when it's this far away. But I love the crossprocessing and details you've captured.

love the colours, and the focus.. it helps to concentrate much on her eyes and expression!

i like this shot a lot. A very beautiful portrait. This is sharp, but also soft with a great dept of field. I love also the desatureted feel and the angle. Very well done
