I really don't know what to say about this... The contrast between the blue eyes and the red background is just estonishing. His expression really makes you wonder what he could be dreaming about. Great job!!

(Just wondering, is that his real eye colour or is he wearing contacts?)

I really enjoy the framing, colors and the texture of the background.
Regarding the lightning, I would have tried to remove the shadow below his nose (with a reflector for instance)

i like he Vivid Colors they attracted my attention in teh thumbnail already. nice, kind of narural portrait, the clarity gives it an honest feel. i like that. the skin seems just a bit pinkish to me.

nice one

it is a bit pinkish... but if I were to turn it whiter, it would look blown-out.
It's on the verge already....

can it get any better? I really like the red/blue colorcontrasts here Pedro. Such a very nice portrait...
I know the composition is classic, and my taste is questionable, but I'd like him to look into the camera. Those eyes makes for a 'killer' contact with the viewer..
Anyway, this is great and keep up the good work

In-Apt In reply to raun [2004-01-15 01:06:12 +0000 UTC]

wow... thanks a lot man! now that's a compliment!


about the eyes... I'd say you're right. it would balance more, because this way the focus pretty much goes for the wall; it would be a killer if he was looking straight to the camera, to grasp the people's attention...

I'll keep posting some more of this series I've done there, so hopefully some will be good as well...




and I'll try to get better on the shoots to come!

What an effective portrait. The eyes are beautiful and piercing, which probably goes without saying. I really love the use of negative space, and that gorgoeus colour on the wall. What better to compliment the blueness of those eyes. His expression is interesting as well. It's almost apprehensive, like he had a fight going in his head about wanting to be in the photograph. Brilliant this is.

It always reminds me of "Life is Beautiful", when that man shouts "Maria, la chiave!"...

I know it has nothing to do with you. but I love that movie, and you making me think of it is just something wonderful!

That is indeed, one of my favourite films ever, it's magical, a sweet tale, and I love pictures like that, makes you feel good for a while, and you forget the bad things in life, as Guido makes his baby forget the suffering in the nazi camp... It's a great thing to hear that I made you think of that (a secret: my grandpa, who died, used to call me "the sweet Maria"

did you only use one light on the subject?
it looks like it with maybe a light coming from the ground in the back.
intresting shot.
really like the colors.
i see to much negative space, however some love it.
neato!

In-Apt In reply to ethanfunkel [2004-01-12 00:52:52 +0000 UTC]

I used a flash, as fill, facing up and bounced on a bristol board attached with elastics (very high-tech), and then I used a dark red wall with lighting from bottom (or was it top, or both? can't remember exactly) as the background.


Thanks for asking, I like to answer that...


as for the negative space....... I love it....

I see what's happening here. That earnest look on his face is just a red herring! He's trying to hypnotize someone beyond the viewfinder into giving him a little green apple! I will poke his eye out with my rubber banana! No, wait, that's not nice. Ok I won't do it.

Well which is it, made your day or made you laugh a good one? Get your compliments straight, damnit. I am a creative tediophobe! That means I'm a very neeeeeeeeeeeeeedy person. I need a coherent compliment every two seconds!!!

LOL

(in case you're in an off mood, I was kidding -_-)

Someone actually said that to my face, that "creative" types are neeeeeeeeeeedy for compliments. Well, maybe so, but it makes me laugh the way she saw creatives.
