At Peace

Shot from the BCG Portrait Shoot.

This is Jalissa.

Intentionally processed with a cool tone to match the pose.

    It reminds me of the model shoot I did at Rookwood Cemetery.
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Simon.
  • David de Groot said:
    Yeah, same sort of feel. Had a play with Greg C's 85/1.2L today as well - fantastically sharp in the 1mm deep section you get focus on ;-) This one is with my 70-200/2.8L though.

    Well I didn't go shoot a sunset afterall ;-) (although I did detour on the way home to shoot a background for a job I have).
    Thanks Rodel. :)
    She was somewhat uncomfortable, but managed to pull off serene quite well.

    Nice work on the PP. I like the cool tones. Contrasts well with the BG.
    EDIT: Just thinking, this'd make a very nice advert for an earphone company (if she was wearing earphones!)

    That's a different way of looking at it Tim.

    Very good result David, it seems she is floating.
    The atmosphere reminded me of that Nick Cave and Kylie video,

    Thanks Jack. Yeah it has a cinematic quality to it I'll agree.
