The eyes have it

[bugmeister]

A while back, we had a 'model' evening at the camera club and one of our willing victims was a lovely young girl (there with her mother) who was a bit of a natural.

 

Because of her age, I won't post the full pictures so you'll have to make do with her eyes (nothing untoward about the full pictures but I don't have the model's or the mother's permission)

 

I know this breaks composition rules, with everything centred but I hope you like it.

 

 

Canon EOS 5Dii Sigma 105mm f2.8 @ f16 @ 1/200s

 

Lighting was from a softbox mounted camera left and there was a light wall to her left to provide a bit of bounce.

 

This is almost all crop (cropped from a full face & shoulders shot, and just resized from 1100 to 800 px width) and now I'm wondering if an even more severe crop on height would be better?

Christ it must have been dark in the room, look at the size of her pupils.

Very expressive eyes - from the look of them and her bone structure, she seems to be in her late teens, but you're suggesting younger than that?

Yes Chris, I think early to mid teens, one reason we required her mother to be in attendance. We asked in the village for a couple of models for the camera club evening and this young lady and a young man of about 18-19 came along (with the girls mum). 'Payment' was a series of the best of our photos for each of them to take away and use as they wished.

well done - like the sharpness obtained. Light is soft as well.

Well done.

That's lovely. I bet they will be pleased with the shots, and very sensible to have the mother present too.
