Strangely the corsage did not catch my eye until I read people talking about it. This looks like an informal shot so maybe things don't have to be all perfectly in place. I love how the large collar and blouse drapes on the left side, adding to the informal mood. I wouldn't crop anything out. Perfect as it is.

Hugo?
The explanation in your intro is fine ? the intellectual description about the metaphysics of light and dark and so on is OK?
But what really rocks this picture is the beautiful extravagant smile of this lovely looking woman?
Great picture

Hi Hugo,
I read all comments (uff) and IMO this is a excelent shot!
I agree that two "not so good" details don't help to the perfection, the cutted rose, and too much space above her head.
Anyway, great light, and wonderful timming to shot!!
Cheers

The framing is very good - i would nood change it.
Regarding the corsage - you are right but as you mentioned - it is much more important to freeze this very nice and friendly smile and her whole personality. I'm shure that a little bit later it would have been possible to create the exate framing - but the whole impact of the moment would have been lost - result a clean but boring image. But this shot is perfect and very fresh and alive
Cheers
Christian

Hi Hugo...well I like this quite a bit - expression is where it's at! Very young and fresh with an air of sophistication -- And I do like the intentional play on contrast - dark background, available light illuminating her. I'm a hat person too! I so like that this is film -- Although we've all gone digital - film to me on BW is really pure - true black and white, my humble opinion. I'll have to comment on more shots -- have you gone macro too? Keep shooting my friend! Take care, Cindi

Hugo, many UFer's seem to have an opinion about this image and isn't that why we post here? To me the greatest achievement of this photo is that it generates so much interest.
Anything that would be art should create discussion and debate. You have taken what could have been a routine photograph with little relevence to anyone other than the subject and her family, and took the opportunity to give us all something to appreciate, admire and discuss.
It's easy for us to nit-pick and second guess or to say "I would have done this or that. . .", but WE weren't the ones behind the lens. You were and the result of your effort speaks for itself.
Ok, now MY nit-pick: I agree with Lori about the flower growing down. ; ) Best wishes, Kurt

hugo, my favorite of the triptych. as you know, i'm not a portrait guy and further, i have not read the other comments here. yet ;^) that said, what i like about this shot is the synchronicity between the contrast graduation perfectly matched with the dof. love how focus and light fade together in almost the same spot. very nice!
the partial corsage doesn't bother me at all. what does bug me a bit is the few bits of dust (?) left over from the scan. i would've cloned those out to have a pure black space around her. just nitpicks though ;^) like i said, it's my favorite of the three.
take care,
tom

Dear Hugo,
now comes the second one, and for me this is on place 2 of the series. I will try to explain why ;-)
Quadratic format is also well chosen here. I especially like the way the light evolves from the overbright part on the lower right to the underexposed part on the upper left. that creates kind of a gradient that adds some spice to the somehow "boring" background. Here, I think the head is a bit too much centered. I would tend to cut a tad from the left side. The smile of the model is just awesome and let's very user smile as well. very good expression.
small wishes. a light frame (again) and a bit more detail on the bright dress.
anyway, like this one a lot. good work.
take care,
thilo

Hi Riny, thanks for your comment; I like the referral to studio portrait style; not intended as such, as this shot was taken in the arched entrance of a church, with only natural light; no flash, no screens and definately not a studio surrounding...;o) Interesting, though, 'cause I do see what you mean.

Hi Hugo,
I like it very much. Very sweet and unusual portrait, the contrast between the chichi dress and the airy behavior makes it Unique.
Especially for Hungarians this is a beloved, intersting shot.
The model is similar to a Hungarian Olompic Champion, Zsuzsa Vörös. (2004 Athens, Pentathlon)

Hi Antonella, This one was also shot with film and natrual light. I lost alot of sharpness during the scan. The original print is perfectly in focus, but as I printed this one myself, I decided to stay as closely to it as possible; my problem is a bad scanner. the things you mentioned are not entirely intended.... Thanks for your comment,

Hi Christian, thanks for your comment and your rework. I see what you mean, and I do think the diagonal use of the contrast does work well; I also think it balances the composition a bit more, removing some of the unease from my version, so aesthetically, I'd go for your version without hesitation.
The choice for the version I uploaded, however, was also based on that unease, which I think is quite important to the idea behind this shot.
The tense smile is something I noticed a bit later; but as I exposed this one, she realised her photo was being taken. I only got one attempt, before she frose up completely....
Interesting to see how my idea is put across by my explanation below the image, and not so much by the image itself. I guess I need to work on that more....:)
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Lori, thanks for your elaborate and openminded comment; very useful... I'll go into a few of your comments, but not before referencing to my about, as it will explain it's not quite intended as a standard portrait / wedding shot in the full meaning of the term...
The space: As I tried to accentuate the contrast between the visible happiness and safety (by the facial expression in the portraits) and the more ominous / insecure sides of life, I think the space around her is essential in this case. If it were a "regular" portrait, I would agree with you completely. The next one is a bit closer composed, though.
The corsage; I know I should've included it entirely, but as I replied to a few others before, I didn't have much time; eventhough the portrait seems posed, it isn't. The somewhat forced smile is "natural". As soon as she became aware of me taking her photo, she froze up, so I could only take one. The etiquette of wearing corsages might very well vary in the US, but I'm fairly sure, women wear the flower upside down, where men (in Europe, or the Netherlands, at least) pin them on right side up. Besides, I don't think I am in the position of telling people how to dress...;o) I thought I send you the photo of the groom with the tag still attached to the sleeve of his suit? That cracked me up, especially as I only noticed it when I got the prints back...
This shot is not only meant to be candid, it was candid; and I had the contrast between dark and light in mind before I took this shot. The strap as well as the hat transpose the difference between light and dark not only by means of subject and background, but also within the subject, that's why I thought this was an excellent opportunity...;o)
I appreciate your thoughts in this one, I really do! (otherwise, I wouldn't have replied so extensively....;o)
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Gerhard, I know it's still a bit soft. Still can't control the quality of the scan with my equipment.... A lousy / old scanner:) It was shot with available light, in the porchway of a church. I think a print on bariet would be nice; I'll have a go at that when / if I find the time to venture out into the darkroom again.... good point!

Hi Ian, Teunis' comment was made in retrospect with the soft previous version, where he commented he'd like to see some more contrast in her face. I do see that the increased contrast brings it closer to achieving my intention, but I also realise I'm not quite there yet.... I'll have to give it another go one of these days. The concept does not solely rely on the image with this series, as it needs too much explanation to get my idea across...
Thanks for your indepth analyses. Very useful. I'll upload the third one later today.

Hi Telmo, I really appreciate your comment; alwasy very nice to hear some positive opinions too....;) (not that they were all negative...;o))
If possible, I always try to use natrual light, as I don't care for flash much. But at times, a flash is essential to "freeze" the moment. With the Pentax ME super, I feel completely at ease; I've been using it frequently for quite some time, and in the print, with some dodging and burning, the minor flaws can be taken care of, given a reasonably good negative.
I've considered the issue of the rose, but as she was at ease and relaxed untill she noticed I had a camera aimed at her, I didn't have much time to thouroughly consider all options. Once she found out what was going on, she froze up; and I ended up with only one shot.... Unfortunately, it cuts off part of the rose. As for the smile, it's genuine allright (she always smiles this exaggerated or wide....) The hapiness is definately in the eyes; they tell more about the genuinity of the happiness than the actual smile, and that's why I called it Twinke eyes....;)
Talk to you soon,
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Arwa, Thanks for your comment; the reason she looks so much at ease with the camera is because she didn't know what I was doing; once she got the idea of what was going on (me taking a photo) she froze up....;) I was just in time to take this shot...

Hi Jorge, thanks for your comment. B&W sure has its devotees, but it's also frequently abused. I shot this with a B&W film, though, and made the print myself, so a colour version is out of the question, as it's a genuine B&W....;) I deliberately choose B&W, as the only colour were the skin tones, and this is, IMO one of those shots that work best in B&W.

Hi Hugo! Excellent portrait and lovely expression of the lady. Great project,too!!
These days I'm shooting portraits,too,with a Nikon 85 mm f 1,8 ( approximately 135 in digital ) in interiors and natural light.
In my case,the photos are more contrasty and sharp which is great on one hand and quite bad on the other,especially when you photograph women who are no longer 18..... :)
In my opinion this photo, although very beautiful lacks a little sharpness, just a tiny bit and the light fades at the top...but,I gather that it is what you wanted to achieve,so....cheers!!!!

I think you got a spontaneous big smile, so strong in fact that it dominates over the other themes you are describing (light fading into shadows). These two elements are pretty hard to combine without one dominating the other. For me, I will have to admit not being able to see it without your explanation.

The easy way, the better picture, this image is a power portrait image, it has a great skilful effort, not easy, it is not a studio type where you can control your light, amazing that the side light techniques is perfectly done with natural light, I know it is an scanning image but, with new tools a clean sharp face can be achieved, outstanding portrait, let see the third one :) Saeed

Dear Hugo, Ian let me know of this photo concept of yours as soon as he saw one of my last photos which looked like following the same path!
This is agreat surprise for me... I had other things to say... but if I explained the concept I would probably use your thoughts....Aren't I right somethimes to claim that some archetypal ideas are present and are given life by several people? We all are pregnant to the same root idea!In this case I am glad we are close!
many obligations kept me away from usefilm but I plan to upload new photos and I am glad I found all of you back!
great photo, great concept!

That's a very good portrait. Maybe jsut a bit tense, but her eyes are still revealing a very good state of mind.
The effect you sought is working well, especially in the UL of the image. Based on this, I would also be inclined to crop the bottom, just below the shoulders, inside a square frame. That would leave a diagonal of sharp contrast downward to the LR corner.
Here's my idea.

{K:75282} 10/3/2004

OK...Hugo, here I go, I'm going to be relentless now!! LOL
Twinkle eye she certainly does have. LOVE the eyes.
First thing I noticed was that (In my opinion of course) there is too much space above her head, it puts her face too much in the center. That's something I've always been picky about.
Next think I noticed is the corsage. I know you did mention it. And yes, if it shows, show it all. (I'm the 'corsage expert') I used to always end up pinning on all the women's corsages since no one is EVER on time. And especially the Moms just HAD to have those corsages on, as well they should be of course. All my life I have worn a corsage just the say your model is. Let me tell you, I've had many florists unpin my corsages only to say 'FLOWERS DO NOT GROW UPSIDE DOWN, PIN THEM ON RIGHT SIDE UP'.....I finally learned.
So after many years of doing this 'pinning ceremony' at most weddings, my eyes now need to see the flowers growing with the stems down!!
Aren't you glad I told you this? LOL :)
If this were in the 'portrait' catagory, I would say that this smile is way too toothy, again, my opinion! Then there is that purse strap on her right shoulder which causes her jacket to lay funny....BUT, since this is undoubtedly meant to be a candid, this can be overlooked, and I'm sure the bride and groom will love this one of a family member or close friend.
WHEW...SORRY, this is the longest one I've ever written...
Bottom line, very likable photograph of this lovely lady, who has a fantastic smile.
STILL A GOOD PHOTO, just giving you my opinion!
Lori :)

Very good. I don't think the corsage matters but I do feel a bit unsettled about how the hat is seperated from the background. Sort of a feeling she is being swallowed up by the darkness thing. Just a feeling nothing important. - JB

I am not sure if Teunis means her left or our left when he refers to contrast but on our left I see the darkness creep across her face and I'd say with that contrast stronger in this one your closer to achieving your goal. Quoting your statment of intent I'd say she "disappears into the gloom" (and comes out from it) more obviously here. The darkness isn't relegated to "background" , it is the space she is in.
What one makes of that as a whole is an interesting thought. She's got a lot of pizazz! Can't deny the confidence/safety there. I'd say if it's the eternal battle of dark versus light the smile is the winner.
Thanks for keeping me informed. Interesting to get an insight into how you set a challenge up. I suppose we are always going to gravitate towards showing off our best here (are we not all exhibitionists) and your taking risks telling us what your trying for.
The soliciting's fine by the way. I trust that at 200 views per shot I know your not just looking for company.
Looking forward to number three?

Hugo, thanks for your comment. Appreciated.
I think that the 'affected' smile of the subject referred to in the comment above actually helps to achieve your objective of juxtaposing outward happines with the darker side of life. She seems to be almost trying to look happier than she really is, trying to hide some inner fear. I think this has a great effect. I creates a feeling of unease.

Hi Hugo!
In the weekends I use to work as a camera operator in several social, comercial, whatever... events. The guy I work with, is a good photographer - IMHO the best around here, Aveiro, Coimbra. One of the real challenges I notice on this kind of photo, that he also likes (unidireccional natural light), is to manage everything - the camera features, the angle of shooting, the pose and placing of the model - towards to creat art instead of vulgarity. Every wedding album has this kind of photo, we know. But do they all respect the delicacy of natural light? Do they all let the light evolve through the models without burning and so on? This kind of photo requires a good sense of commitment.
I honestly think you did it!
There are two things that, somehow, disturb me: The hidden tip of the rose and the smile of the model. A beautiful woman, indeed, but it seems she was to much afected with your presence. I believe her smile is a little bit too wide...
As you say "...the visible happiness..." is here - not on the smile but on the EYES! Is that why you called it "twinkle eyes"?
See dear friend!

Hugo, yes more contrast in left side
Dat maakt het gezicht zoals je zegt inderdaad meer los van de achtergrond
Bedankt voor je commentaren op"Vadalism and Peace.
Heb een goed weekend

The open, wide open, smile, the sparkle in her eyes are a must in this portrait.I know B&W still has its devotees , but I would like to see this same portrait, in color . I guess the flower and her eyes must add value to the picture.But ,in B&W is a very good portrait, indeed.
Regards
jorge

What a wonderful natural expression in this portrait of that beautiful lady...and she IS a lady!The natural light makes the face look softer,I think,and works very well.If the lady could see it,she would enjoy this picture!
Hugo,I`ve to apologize,as deleted my last picture,thought,there still was no comment.And I truly regret , that it was just your so kind comment,which I`m always glad about.
But i forgot to add the coloured version,because I was not sure about it...
With best regards and thanks
Ursula

This is a great portrait! Really nice.. love how she seems to pop out from the darkness. The tones are soft and nicely ranged.. great use of natural light! Her expression is so nice.. she looks so happy and calm.. great pose and clothes asswell. Fits her suits the shot! Great composition.. great framing.. great idea! =)
I like it!! 7+
