Artist's Comments

A couple of weeks ago, I arranged for a photo session with this girl I met through a modeling site. I bought this old suit from the 50's on ebay a while ago, and had been looking for a model suitable for a little series of retro-style photos. Sadly, it wasn't the best day for a photo session, considering the fact that the rain started pouring right when we ventured outside and it was really really cold. But she was a great model, not letting the weather distract her from making cute poses. The same thing can't really be said about me, I spent most of the photo session being really stressed out by the rain storm. Anyway, some of the photos at least turned out fairly sharp and pretty and here's one of those.

Model: Caroline Å.
Camera: Pentax 67
Film: Kodak Portra 160 NC
Copied on Kodak Supra Endura photo paper
No photoshop, except from some dust removal and colour adjusting due to having the world's lousiest scanner.

Beautiful piece, very nostalgic [like from years ago]. You caught her elegance and poise. Though you described being stressed, I hope that you are proud of this outcome and enjoying how it came out.

KUDOS!

Wonderfully elegant and as tinti said, beautifully nostalgic.
It looks like she's waiting for something or someone, a little tense (good thing)
I love the angle of this shot.

jag tycker det här är ett väldigt fint porträtt, det känns som att det finns en historia bakom, som att hon är på väg någonstans eller precis har vinkat av någon vid tåget och du smyger upp bakifrån och fotar henne. mer snapshotstuk än arrangerat porträtt.

+ ljuset, färgerna och skärpedjupet är ju fantastiska såklart. och det är bra att det var kallt för det gör att hon har en aningens aning rosiga kinder vilket gör mycket faktiskt.

Men omg, jag förstår inte att du inte nämnde mig som din eminenta fotoassistent och allmän hållare av reflektor. :P
