Frozen


You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

if I could melt your heart
we'd never be apart
give yourself to me
you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

If I could melt your heart


dedicated to my dear colleague, Claudio.. lost yesterday..
we must live with open heart..
as any moment was the One, the most precious..
life is too short..

Frozen/Madonna.. my mood...

Salut voisin
Désolée pour cette mauvaise nouvelle Marco, c'est un moment difficile.
Frozen... oui c'est vraiment ça. la légère touche colorée qu'apporte ton modèle est bienvenue, ton travail sur l'atmosphère produit est remarquable. Je suis quand même un peu gênée par la partie droite qui semble un peu vide dans l'ensemble.
Bonne journée

Karèle

Marco, It's always nice to see a new photo post from you. You have a style and creativity that I enjoy. This photo is no exception. I like the shades of blue throughout which does give the illusion of "frozen" and cold. The model is lovely with her pose. I like how her arms are at the top and bottom of the composition. Nice expression too. I like how her gaze is not at the camera, but off to the side. Bravo Marco! Ciao, Lisa

hi Marco

Initially I thought the bit of overexposure of the white sheet and the skin tone could be adjusted, but overall viewing of this unusual pose of portrait perhaps is your intended mood to create some hi-tech effect. All because of your title Frozen which needs a bit of futuristic look.

Very interesting effect. And a nice dedication.

HI Marco,
First of all kmy soorey for your lost.
The photo is excellent, very well worked in colours and light, and very well composed. It brings my memory the excellent «pin ups» of the great Roxy Music cover records in the times of the 2 Brians (Eno and Ferry).
Excellent work and a great hymn to life in a moment that is not easy to do it.
With simpathy and respect, mb

Ciao Marco

It's always a strong and so sad moment when we lose someone ... many words come in my mind, and, as you, i'm afraid to die ... so I try to live each moment as a great one ...
I'm sad for you really.
Your girlfriend is a really lovely woman. She take a nice pose and your eye is the best one to capture such beauty. Excellent job on this composition, very good.
Be happy and enjoy life my darling ...
Baci, Marylou

Great lighting and soft colors contrasting her dark hair. Not only that she is a beautiful girl, but her facial expression and those big expressive eyes are outstanding. I am not sure about the background; a lit a bit distracting. I will look for more of her photos. TFS

hi, Marco
an interesting portrait of her in mellow contrasted colors,
she looks like being in frozen ice and snow world,
but of course her eyes and body are warm or hot...
and the time of your feeling and in her mind seems exploding.
then another kind of quiet atmosphere like metaphysical sensation is felt in this after frozen space,
the time never stop, but never flow originally, in paradoxical photo.
thank you,
Akihisa

dear Marco,

that song hits the right mood! and that shot hits the right corner in the eye, logic, core of everything we're surrounded to! how frozen we are just like her face sometimes... this shot! how many times we drift away while we have the same look, same eyes! same expression... while we'r not here! we don't belong! or exist 4 a sec.. except with that smile that defines our presence and we move on and again we move on....................! for a while!! but then again we think again and again that yes, life is short and there's an end somewhere! and it hurts............... but we must move on! but never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!
am sorry for your loss!

Hello Marco,
You have created such an environment for your model a bit austere , quite bare , the blue tinted curtains in the BG and the very bright white bedcloth combine to bring about this atmosphere of coolness i sense in this scene ,i would give her a blanket but she seems to do well under the conditions though ,he he an aptly chosen title for this shot , her gaze away from the lens is fine and moreover she is very cute.
Sorry for the loss of your colleague Claudio .Be strong Marco .

Excellent portrait especially at the 18mm end of the lens. Good lighting and good mood..

Ciao Marco, il ritratto è davvero originale perchè è molto forte il contrasto tra il bg che sembra quasi irreale, algido e la bellezza calda, mediterranea della ragazza. Penso anch'io che se si sente con il cuore si coglie il presente in tutte le sue sfumature e anche quelle tristi come le perdite diventano possbilità di crescita.
Ciao, cinzia

Our works's colleague are often closest than our own family's members! So, I sympathise at your loss!
I cannot help thinking, despite your title, this portrait has some warmth! The pose, the carnation tones... the beauty of your model can reheat all frozen ambiance! Very good contrast with the cold blue and soft BG. Modern and classy image. This is a nice way to say goodbye at your dear colleague!

e' proprio vero - life is short and then you die.
e spesso ce ne ricordiamo solo quando ci si presenta l'occasione di fare qualcosa che di regola non faremmo, ma cui improvvisamente non sappiamo rinunciare, forse per paura che l'occasione non ritorni, forse solo per sentirci vivi in mezzo a tanta omologazione, tanto conformismo.
questa foto mi attrae in un modo che non so spiegarmi bene - i colori sono quelli di una innocente palette (bianco virginale, baby blue, rosa immacolato), e anche la posa della modella e', nonostante la biancheria intima, piu' "coquette" in senso spiritoso che apertamente seducente.
eppure... eppure qualcosa va oltre i toni freddi della luce (volutamente asettici). forse il suo sguardo non diretto all'obiettivo. non so... difficile da spiegare =)
splendida atmosfera, come sempre.

Absolutely fantastic pose, very natural. There is no evidence of posing here. Nice use of HK - looks like it was a natural light (is it perhaps?) Would crop off rightmost part of the shot - 2 cm. Kinda disturbing to this very consistent compo. Otherwise perfect.

PS Wouldn't name it FROZEN - rather very subtle and sensitive pose... *s*

Hello Marco,
A divine portrait.
Very professional in look.
Exquisite lighting.
A gorgeous model you've got.

Danilo

Nice light and good clean tones, I would personally allow a little more room top and bottom for composition, but the short focal length and wide-angle distortion works beautifully here.

Hola Marco!

Espero te encuentres bien a pesar de la dolorosa experiencia que estas viviendo!
Esta foto me hace pensar en un hospital y a una enfermera. sera lo que querias por lo de la desaparicion de tu colega! Y el titulo combina de maravilla con el resto! Creaste aqui una atmosfera muy fria pero a la vez con calor por la modelo y este calor tiene que servirte de esperanza, que despues de todo la vida es mas fuerte!
Un fuerte abrazo para darte fuerza! Animo! sigue adelante con bellas fotos!

No doubt....all is beautiful here....attractive so!!!!
Great job....
