This is a the sign of a very good photographer. Pushing the boundries of photography to capture something different and turning a simple snapshot of life into art. This is indeed an excellent photo.

I agree with Adam...pushing your boundaries makes you a better more versatile photographer...also keep the bordom out doing the same old thing....I like her pose...eerie but effective colours,....cool shot! #7057

Note from the photographer: I have enjoyed your comments, thank you very much for responding. you offered the same themes I hear from people who look at my prints in person. to cross-process, you must have plenty of light. I wanted to challenge this for effect. this shot took two tungsten lights, (one at background, one on subject) one large, gold reflector (camera-right)and available light was coming through north and south windows. the lights were turned to low power and the subject was backed into a corner where shadows fell. a true experiment, that, when I do next time, i'll know how to improve it. the theory worked, but the photo turned up less than stellar. oh, and this is a self-portrait. only had 30 minutes---not time to grab a model.

You certainly did a fine job Staci...and you are beautiful...I too have done x-proccess many times , more with people been the sub-subject...this shot is pretty cool and thanks for letting us know how you came to shoot this! #7071

Agreed with Detlef... Who needs to pay extra for a model when you photograph so well??? BTW Staci, all the lighting gear is it your own or were you able to use someones studio. You're pretty lucky if it's all your own. Must make it that much easier to try different lighting set ups and experiments.

thanks, adam. yes, the gear is all mine, though, be informed, the tungsten lighting was mere household tungsten. I have two portrait monolights, but prefer tungsten or daylight because I feel more comfortable with seeing constant light. can make small adjustments better that way, I guess. probably because the photographic eye learns to see in highlights and shadows. I find reflectors to be very effective. I encourage you to sometime experiment bouncing light with them. carp diem, ~~Staci~~ #7085
