"unravel"

another weekend portrait shoot and this time we ventured to the pristine sand dunes of margham desert in dubai.

it was a challenge for us because it was joyce's first time to take a more serious pose in front of the camera. she was stiff, unrelaxed and clueless of what she's doing. i told her to let go and free her mind from any distractions... so i instructed her to throw the scarf she's having.

it took a while to get the perfect shot until she got it right. by the time we did it, she was already heating up and getting into the game.

i used a fast shutter speed to freeze movement of the fabric at small aperture due to harsh lighting. raw converted thru lightroom and processed thru adobe photoshop cs.

thanks for viewing.

Hi Jeff,

Normally I don't go in for model shots, but I find this one to be exceptional. You used a lot of tools to get the desired effect and it came out great. I like your explanation as to how you got there, as well, but think maybe you left out the polarizer? Forgivable! Super result!

Congrats,

Hi Jeff. :-)
I really like this...but I agree with you about your model and her stiff pose...BUT...I LOVE the scarf floating free in the air!!! And I think your model was needed to be in the photo with the scarf. The scarf alone...I don't think would have been as nice. Maybe if she was looking at the scarf and her body language was of that....tossing the scarf. I dunno...I'm a novice but it's a thought for next time. :-)

Very good movement picture. The constrast captured and the sharpness are incredible. Congratulations and keep on touch!

pose, lighting, timing, framing, everything is OK, well done, very good

wow!

this has a lot of drama and a movie-like feel to it :) i wish she were wearing a stylish long gown instead of this :) would've looked more sensual that way :)

excellent!

thanks for sharing :)

Hi Jeff,

Great timing and nice composition, and the way you encourage your model to relaxed and be more comfortable in front of the camera is called professionalism... Great!!! TFS
