Jan 7: Lara shoots the electro

Lara's come to stay! After a silly session of pointing cameras at each other, I said come on, let's do this properly. I set up the lights, thrust a classic 70's rangefinder into her hands, and here's the result. After seeing the pictures, Lara said "cool", then sat giggling on the sofa with LA for a while.

Beautiful shot. I love the way her hands are placed, and the light glowing off her hair. Nice job David.

Wonderful portrait! I really like the way my eye flows from her right hand, across the top of the camera, to her sensitive eyes down around her to cheek to her graceful left hand, up and around again. The lighting on her hair is an added bonus.

Wonderful shot. People are right to comment on the lighting but it's the way her left hand crosses her face and curves to gently cup the camera that's the best thing about this photo, for me.

It's LARA!!! Great shot, David! Your lighting is always fantastic.

Oh I wish I had proper lighting gear! I tend to rely on a lamp! Great B&W, and a classic camera!
