About This is not a posed picture. We were at lunch together and she was being shy. She peeked at me a couple of times so I whipped out the camera and took this before she could turn away.

It is cropped so tight because that is all I was able to get of her head. I only had a split second.

The light is what was available in the room. There was a big sliding door near us and large windows. She was positioned between the doors & windows and myself.

Wow, this is an awesome high key shot! And the eyes are fabulous. Great work here for sure! I love your copyright signature. Looks great. I'd say you did perfectly with having taken a "quick" shot. If you hadn't of told me that I wouldn't have even known. Well done!

Thank you Melanie. I wish I could tell you more about high key portraits. I think that I was really lucky on this one because I didn't mean for it to be high key. I just happen to get her looking back at me in the right light.

I will say that she was between me and the light source (outside light). Actually, I was just to the side of her a bit.

The other thing I can say is that she was really close to me. So the metered light on the camera read off of her not the background. Otherwise, I'm sure she would have turned out dark or in silhouette.

I think we should practice taking high key portraits. They are really nice, especially with children.

This is an absolutely stunning portrait. I love the high key effect. I have been wanting to expriment with some high key portraits but don't know any good techniques, do you have any tips?

You caught her just perfect Eleisa!
The crop is fine... I think the eyes and smile are what this one is all about.

Now this shot I really love Eleisa! This is the type of photo that I have been beating my brains out to achieve! You have to email me on this one.
I gotta learn the steps!!! How do you keep such detail in the eyes and the rest of the face that tone?

Hi Eleisa.

Marvelous high key shot. I am not sure how much post processing you did, but the result is fanatstic.
The only thing that I would like to comment on is the reflections in the eyes. I am not sure if they are catchlights from multiple light sources, or stray reflections.

I make this comment as someone told me once that if the eyes are the focal point of an image, try to keep them as "pure as possible"
However as i have since discovered, this is eaiser said than done, without proper lighting.

Well done.

Regards,
George.

This is gorgeous...almost surreal. Did you achieve this all with lighting, or some PS work? Great job whichever. I really like it.
