Wasn't there a Photoshop advertising campaign on that theme? On 11/15/2015 8:40 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: Thanks, Rick. Don't know about nana, but her mother's none too pleased, I hear. But Molly has made it her goal to tattoo her entire body, so Mom is going to have come to terms with that. :)

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

I must admit, curiosity got the best of me and I Googled Molly and looked at images of her. The tattoos are progressing nicely. Her back is really filling in. I'm not a huge tattoo fan - I don't have a problem with them but neither am I enamored with them. Hers are quite interesting though.

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

Thank you very much, Malcolm! As with anything, I find that the more I work with light the better I understand it. I also find that when I study how to best use ambient light it helps me to see how best to work with studio strobes and modifiers, and vice-versa. It's a trade-off: I have

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

I REALLY like this one. Great pose, strong concept, interesting and compelling composition. I usually dislike purple hair, but it works well here and is quite attractive, and the tattoos also add interest. The camera is also elegant and well positioned, and the way she is gazing down at it

PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

Molly Fassbender has a fascination with self-portraits, so I brought my little collection of vintage cameras along to our shoot last Thursday. https://www.flickr.com/photos/bruce_m_walker/22923705145/lightbox/ 645Z, DFA645 90mm f:2.8 Macro, f:11, 1/125th sec, 100 ISO, handheld. One light: Buff

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

Bruce, That's a nice shot... This point of view creates some suspense: The the way she is positioned, what she is looking at... Being pictured against the white cold-looking floor (table?) creates the contrast with how hot she looks. The extended black bellows just sprung into the action
