Grab Portraits Challenge: Fast Grab- Portaits: No lights, no reflectors.

This is a very nice picture. Not only the person is beautiful, but the expression is engaging and I like the composition with the lit window at the top and the unkept bed.

Thanks, Jerome,

Kate is a wonderful woman, no silver spoon in her mouth. Works several jobs and spends a lot on her acting coach. The window get's northern light for her body and back light from the window behind her, lit by a skylight in the hallway above the stairs.

This afternoon we have been walking in the countryside and we met - as many times before - a shepherd with his young dog and lambs. He is 86 and keeps on his job.
Photo with Panasonic GX7 - 20mm kit lens. I have already printed the photograph and I will offer it to him one of theses days.

Yes, Antonio,

The Shepherd does well in color.

The Shepherd has a lovely daughter, LOL!

What a graceful muse!

One thing I especially liked about the Portuguese colony of Mocambique, was their eclectic coastal city of Loenzo Marques. No obvious racism and the most sultry and heavenly people you can imagine of mixed race.

By his house or your house, Antonio? In any case the lighting is perfect!

All different and excellent !

James,

These are fabulous! How could you have been keeping them hidden so so long - or are these new?

Antonio, Asher

Thank you both! They are very recent .I take many of them but only post a small percentage of them. However if I could upload directly from my computer, I might be more inclined to post more if it was enhanced.

Excellent for composition, tonalities and subject vibe!

BTW, this also has a pretty good "self-portrait" of the photographer at work!

Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes it does !

 

[Asher Kelman]

Antonio,

Can you enlarge the one from the left?

Asher

 

[Asher Kelman]

I must boost these as they show an attention to full range of tonalities for each B&W image and yet the subjects are so varied. This is excellent street work! What a diverse selection of wonderful subjects. I do like the occasional bubbles in the background bokeh.

Asher

 

[James Lemon]

Wonderful Image!

 

[Antonio Correia]

Thank you for stopping by James !

 

[Antonio Correia]

Yesterday, in the park.

Great mood that you have captured here Antonio! A wonderful portrait with a great bouquet.

 

[Antonio Correia]

Thank you James !

I think your portraits are better !

 

[Asher Kelman]

Thank you James !

Actually, at first, I thought these were his portraits and that he had adopted your style as an homage!

LOL LOL that is a good one.

Sorry Asher, but I think you are wrong...

It was just me trying to emulate his portraits.
