12th September 2004 Flick Merauld

Eye by Flick Merauld

Oxford UK

I was drawn by the strong shapes formed by light and shadow, which seem to lend drama and a confrontational element to this portrait. Shot in natural light.


other sizes: small medium original auto

LOL! I couldn't get him to look straight at the lens to begin with. Finally he got fed up with my nagging and blasted me with a "look".
Flick.

Flick, I agree with Kate...Intense, intense, intense. Great use of black and white...John

A very strong powerful image. The male in question looks very intense! Kate

LOL, no he was upright ;-) no ropes, just manacles clamping his feet to the floor.

Ahhh - now I understand - you didn't need to tie him down, you'd drugged him first!
It's a nice shot - technically especially, but he does look a little erm laid back?
kind regards

Thank you Albert. I deliberately aimed for blown highlights this time, as sometimes breaking the rules makes an impact, so I'm glad you feel it works for you.

Nice extremes contrast here. Lots of emotion in that eye. I struggle with accepting "blown" parts of images but it works here for me. - Albert
