High Key - I love this stuff

[MommyOf4Boys]

I love High Key now for some reason.
Here was my submission to last night's Duel for the Fight Club

well done! nicely composed and the balance is right on:thumbsup:

 

[MommyOf4Boys]

thanks! I had to pay him $2 to let me photograph him, that is why he has that "i dont want to be here" face!! LOL

for 2 bux you'd think he'd dial in the charm

 

[MommyOf4Boys]

LOL for real! I was just lucky to get him up on the stool for $2, it probably would have cost me another $5 for a fake smile. :lmao:
But I like this one, it has tons of emotion in it, so I got my $2 worth!! AHAHAHA

 

[Calliope]

I love his facial expression! Nice photo! :thumbup:

 

[slickhare]

very nice shot! def worth the $2 :mrgreen:

:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[mannella]

Good shot love the eyelashes.--lenny

 

[MyCameraEye]

Excellent job on the softness and the pose. I guess he took care of all the expression himself.

 

[woodsac]

I like the expression...good job.

 

[scoob]

i also love the expression on his face!!! great pic :thumbup:

Am curious, the lack of seperation between the background and the shirt (specifically the sleeve on the left side of the photo, subject's right sleeve). Is this a particular property of high key and supposed to be that way?

 

[Mohain]

Great shot. Nice and moody and good job with the high key look. Nice one

Be happy about the I-don't-want-to-be-there face! It is very natural. Goes right with who he is and how he felt in that moment.
I tried high key with my daughter when it was the Assignment of the Week over in the Photo Themes, and she, too, looks like this in most of the pics I could get out of her. (I ought to have offered here some Euros... never occurred to me! Ah well. Too late by months now).
I think you nailed it a lot better than I did at the time, but then I was totally poking in the mud when I tried to figure out how to do it and what it actually means in the first place .

Very nice portrait - I like it a lot. As others said - a lot of emotion in his expression.

Did you get a signed model release? Don't want him coming back for more than the original $2...:lmao:
