17-MAR-2007 Aloha Lavina

Singapore

from "Somewhere You've Never Been"

I love this image because I am the only one who has it. LOL. Seriously, the other photographer present at the time had his arms full of his beautiful wife.

I had the chance to learn with Lawrence Rispher in Singapore, and this is the best image I took away from that weekend. It reminds me of my muse--light--and it also nudged a suggestion into my photography. The suggestion that perhaps, my style, if it were to emerge, would be a storyteller's eye. A writer by training, it makes sense that the way an image makes sense to me is through the story it suggests.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 50mm 1.4
1/80s f/1.4 at 50.0mm iso160 full exif

All I can say is "oh my god!" ... so fantastic.. everything about it.
The emotion is huge and intense... different from each person.. Exquisit lighting and the building is outstanding as a backdrop... adds to the photo without taking the focus off the subject.. wonderful

Pure theatre, Aloha -- you paint the scene with light, abstracting the characters, suggesting more by showing less. The meaning rests in the mind of each viewer -- this image could be seen as romantic, implying surrender to love, Or she could be seen as a captive, helpless and vulnerable. It all depends upon the context one brings to the image.
