lovely and crappy Danielle Margaret Oprean

The one shows her serious eyes, the tension of her right hand which held her hood and the dark shadow lines on her clothes. I think that it is an interesting shot and the harsh light helps a lot, although it was underexposed. I used ISO100, f 32, and shutter speed 1/125.
She has green-blue eyes and wore blue sweater. I am interested in that color. I chose a dark stairwell without windows to shoot her, because I planned to make use of the slope at the bottom of the upper stairs to bounce flash. Also I can shoot her from above , thus her face can be towards the bouncing surface to get light. It was working very well. I got her natural smile and nice blue color through this bounced light. This light helps to express her characteristics and light her face in this dark area. The select one is used f 7.1, shutter speed 125, ISO 200.

shoot her & flash her

This is how photojournalism students treat their teacher:P

Eiffel Tower with a pink heart

My idea is to express a romantic sense of the metal Eiffel tower.
