Watching this I grew to feel sorry for the boys they dated. The male gender is such easy pray and so easily replaced by a young lady. Personally I am not sure a woman's allure is affected by the camera angle or if B&W is used. I think all a young lady has to do is show up and acknowledge those admiring her.Dentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107214205610095999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-81257197907284123612008-04-23T18:08:00.000+02:002008-04-23T18:08:00.000+02:00That's what I really call a pout.

In both cases - the side light in the fine top photo "Listen to me" and the touch of back and top light in the bottom photo. Her black, his white, and the throw of the light onto the white.

I like the large expanse of jacket which just emphasises the portrait. And you're right the expression and pose are enigmatic and could be interpreted in many ways - this is something I like in photos when we have ambiguity that makes us think twice, rather than a shot which we take at face value like the second one. No doubt that B+W brings a different quality to shots like this - tones in general but skintones in particularAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-1052577867821783312008-04-23T09:28:00.000+02:002008-04-23T09:28:00.000+02:00deux beaux portraits b&w, une très bonne idée d'av...deux beaux portraits b&w, une très bonne idée d'avoir mis des vêtements de l'époque de ces superbes voituresOlivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.com
