Innocence, a photo from Ankara, Central Anatolia

Photographer's Note

I was in wedding last weekend and taking some photos. I saw her near the window playing with my girl. Light suddenly illuminated the girl like that and I had have just one shot, then, she and my daughter run the other side of the hall.

Her appearence in the picture is just like a paint of a renaissance period.

Hi Selman

You were ready to take this picture, you had in your mind. Delicate hues and the light ray gives dark shadows, revealing the volume.
hats off

Hello selman,

You've realized a great natural portrait. The light illuminates perfectly the face and the long hair of this young girl who looks peacefull. I would have erased the small spots on her left harm though.

Great snap shot anyway!

Hello Selman
Really a nice low-key portrait. Playing with shadows and highlight is a difficult art : you suceeded it. Do you tried a B&W version ?
Cheers

A nice photo selman with good use of the light - effectful result. Maybe not the best sharpness but the overall soft impression seems to work well.

And I like natural light effect too..

Simple picture, but it just like to see the maestro's painting..

Hello Selman
Its a low key image, a superb nice side profile portrait and nice expression.
The lighting is kind to the model complexion and has highlighted the texture of the skin so well
by the natural subtle side lighting and the background is black enough to be really low key.
Compositionally good with a slight tilt rendering a little more drama to the overall shape.
The slight blurry over the skin has a little touch of the 'hollywood magic'
A delightful portrait, great effort. Congrats
Best regards
