27-OCT-2005 Robin Reid

October 28: SP Friday – Fade to Black

Rancho Bernardo, CA

The main goal here was to wear a black top against a black background keeping just a hint of the one sleeve to give definition.

Please don’t give me a lot of grief about “smile Robin.” I wanted to look serious, and also thought using the wide angle lens shooting downward a bit would add an unusual touch.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent portrait!! The light is perfect!

Ya did good here Robin, I like the slight separation on your shoulder, but maybe would have preferred a bit more light from the back on your head. (I think that's what I'd like--still trying to figure on that wrap around lighting idea)

Look out ladies, hide your hearts!

Very nicely done. Creative, sharp and nice exposure.
