Really good pair of portraits there Paul - you've deliberately chosen a high-key processing?

[annie]

Very nice...I do love high key when it is done to this quality....I love the second shot..that intense look on her face.

[NannyFerret]

Both lovely shots, but like Annie said, you have captured that "somthing special" in the second shot.

[Korky]

Very nice indeed - they don't have a candid feel to them, though. They could almost have been shot in the studio.

Thank you Chris and yes I did go for a high key look, I either tend to go for high key or low key when doing B&W.

 

Thank you Annie and Tina.

 

Thank you Korky, that must be the portrait photographer in me showing through rather than the street photographer.

im not normally keen on black and white portraits unless its of old craggy skinned people or some such, the smoothness of young skin doesnt often work well... having said that these are lovely no1 is my favourite. i love the look of pure concentration and the light reflections in the sax

[Black Pearl]

Lovely processing - out of interest what camera/lens?

[bugmeister]

Both really nice portraits, but I really like that first one. Super-detailed and with great concentration in her expression.

[Craftysnapper]

Thank you Heather.

 

Thank you BP, that would be the Olympus E-M5 and m75-300mm for the first one and the 60mm Macro for the second one I shot that one covertly using the swivel LCD at waist level while sitting in a crowded open area.

 

Thank you bugmeister.
