My I Heart Faces Challenge
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
I thought about writing something witty, or entertaining, or... you know, "cool." But, I'm not going to lie -- the fact that 18 mind blowing photographers will be looking at my photo leaves me speechless. Clearly not completely because I'm still typing, but you get the idea! Anyway... my fiance's sister and I get a little crazy with ideas and just start photographing and we did a Carnival theme shoot this past holiday (inside where it was warm of course :). My inspiration for this was an Indian-gypsie theme (what I would give to photograph an Indian wedding!). Though color may seem like a better option... something about creating it black and white made it just jump to me.

Striking photo, really nice :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Gosh, doesn't it make y'all nervous that all these amazing photographers will be looking at your photo?! Maybe I'm just ridiculous lol.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the BW conversion on this. Such a gorgeous photo full of depth. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! The decorations on the face just draw you in, but you also kept a viewer looking because of the eye contact and mysterious feel to the photo. I love it!
ReplyDeleteDramatic...that's the word that comes to mind. The framing and natural graininess really make this shot pop off of the screen. Not to mention those big soulful eyes.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work!
This picture is GORGEOUS! I would just like to second everything Drew said : ) She is so wise! : ). It is captivating. I hope the 18 judges just LOVE your picture. How could they not? : ) If you ever post it in color, let me know because I would like to see that also and compare!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is . . WOW!!!! Impressive! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAwww... you all are awesome!! In case you are wondering... the pearly decorations are from Hobby Lobby. I found them in the feather & beading section and it was actually a sticker so it was perfect for the skin!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!! I really appreciate everyone's words!
Beautiful!! I love everything about it!!
ReplyDeleteReally stunning. If I were a judge, I would have chosen this in my top five! :)
