[photo info: original black and white; scan from slide: Ilford iso 400; f 5.6 (if I remember well…); I just reduced brightness a little, in order to preserve the skin texture; no other postprocessing]

Another shot taken during a photography workshop organised by the International Summer Academy in Libramont/Belgium (www.akdt.be). The theme of the workshop was “portraits in black and white” (for analogue cameras only). The same model (a fellow photographer) as in “Wounded Tree # 2”.
We decided together to call this photo “L’Aimante” (+/- “In Love”), as we felt that is the mood this photo conveys.
Thanks for your comments, critiques and suggestions.

Encore une photo prise lors d’un stage de photographie à l’Académie Internationale d’Eté à Libramont/Belgique (www.akdt.be). Le thème du stage était “le portrait en noir et blanc” (pour appareils argentiques uniquement). Le même modèle (une autre participante du stage) que dans “Wounded Tree # 2”.
Nous avons décidé ensemble du titre, “L’aimante”, qui nous semblait convenir le mieux pour cette photo.
Merci de vos commentaires, critiques et suggestions.

Ik nam deze foto tijdens een fotografiestage op de Internationale Zomeracademie in Libramont/België (www.akdt.be). Het thema van de fotografiestage was “portret in zwartwit” (enkel voor analoge toestellen). Mijn gelegenheidsmodel was dezelfde medestagiaire als in “Wounded Tree # 2”.
Over de titel, “L’aimante” (+/- “In Love”), hebben we samen beslist. Hij scheen ons het beste de sfeer van de foto weer te geven.
Dank voor uw commentaar, kritiek en suggesties.

knappe is dat je eigenstijl hebt
zag direct dat het weer een foto van Erik was
vind deze beter dan de vorige die ik zag.. hoewel ik ook hier graag het gezicht nog wel iets donker zou willen zien

nice mood captured. nice expression of eyes and eye brows. the tree adds a very symbolic dimension

une bonne répartition des valeurs foncées et claires, cadrage, contraste, ça me convient tout à fait

Trying to decide how I feel about this one. I'm not sure that it quite hits the same spot as the previous shot, possibly because there is no connection between subject and viewer, I almost feel excluded from her connection with the tree, if that makes sense.

Her connection with the tree, also, is not well expressed - it's a subtle point, but the fact that her eyes seem to be fixed to a point on the tree that is at, or even beyond, the frame of the photo makes it a little unsettling. Probably could have been solved by aiming the camera a little higher?

It also comes across as being slightly underexposed, I think more contrast or brightness wouldn't hurt.

Hi, Erik!

Solitude, melancholy, remembrance: this beautiful picture says this to me. The model there was choice very much, very expressive her face (shows on the other picture even well.)

Erik,
het model kijkt vertederend naar haar geliefde zieke boom op, een raakt hem ook met liefde aan. Mooi beeld,

Had wel graag ietje meer van haar oog pupil gzien.

Fascinating to see the expression -- she really looks like she loves this tree
Very fine details

Best regards
RG
