Music and one more portrait

A few days ago I listened traditional Bavarian music, enjoyed her play at the harp and had the occasion for this portrait:




No staging, no directing, just observing, compose and wait.

It was the same day also for this portrait.

Best regards,
Michael

Michael,

Interesting that the asymmetry, with the lady set to the left and essentially open space in front of her, conjures a sense of her openness. I like this and it's unpretentiousness.

Simple, well seen but providing depth.

Hi, Michael,

Precious, both the subject and the image.

I agree with Asher's comment on the very nice framing.

Best regards,

Doug

What a graceful portrait, of a graceful lady Michael.

One of your best works that I have seen.
Bravo!!

Take care.

Asher, Doug, Antonio, Fahim,

Thank you!

I will continue both ways though the non-staged portraits will have a bigger focus for the moment.

Hopefully I will get a few more permissions to show these.

Best regards,
Michael

Michael,

Take more and then we will get a steady flow! This is fresh and honest photography that carries a person's nature and sprit!

Not that posed and formal is not wonderful too, but this is a part of photography that shares intimacy.
