Emma

A change of background can make all the difference.
This photo was taken at the old grotto near Corbiere
in Jersey, Channel Islands. The lighting is the available
light against the dark wet granite of the grotto. The
expression is one which is not natural to Emma who is
always smiling and cheerful. The aim here was to capture
the "Classic Pale English Beauty" which I personally thought
looked very sophisticated.

ps. The image is best viewed at the original size.
I really love that 50mm lens! Even though most of todays
session with Amy and Emma was shot using the 70-200mm.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

I LOVE her intense gaze-

i like this portrait. the colors of the dress, hair and the background all go very well together. the most attractive point to me is emma's eyes though. just one suggestion. how about sitting her facing to the right and half turning back her face to look at the camera.

cheers,
norman.

Every time I view your images, I'm reminded of another brilliant artist, this time Rembrandt. I envy your eye and the ability you have to capture the personality with just a split second.

Beautiful results. Amazing on many points not the least being that this was with available light.

This is a beautiful portrait. Adore the framing here - very elegant yet extremely flattering. If I were the sitter I would be delighted. The lighting is exquisite. I love this also as it looks completely unphotoshop'ed (whether it is or not is besides the point). Very pro work. vote
