Description Shot backstage at a Fashion Show last week.

I usually like to keep things very simple. Here, I sort of love the chaos.

I counted 8 different people in there I think.

Chaos for sure but you've created a really interesting depth.
I like that concept find what is real and what is reflected.
Well done hesi.

nice framing. good photo journalistic picture. but i would choose a little bit lower angle of view...it would give more impact to the atmosphere.

oh btw that signature on the top is really distracting.

Oooo yea!

Very chaotic, but simplified by photography. Seems like a show's about to happen. Any idea what show?

The only thing that bothers me is that light bulb on the lower left. Yes.. the .. half bulb. it is disturbing since it is not.. complete.

The two faces on the left is particularly facinating. Since the main body is nowhere to be seen, or so I believe..., it is like a ghost image... reminds me of such.

I would suggest a crop that removes the top part since it doesn't add much.

Mm, very nice work!

thanks for your comment!
I did not want to crop the top because I wanted to keep the ratio printable

Ah.. Well, what do you think of cropping it after printing it out? Would it make it better?

nicely done, I must say, if I were trying to find a self portrait, this is how it would be done. Your inclusion in the photo makes a statement all by itself, this is definately a favorite.

Really beautiful picture Alina. The high contrast is really something..
Of course the continuous reflection is also a really nice effect.

manyk [2006-01-29 18:46:12 +0000 UTC]

I really love the natural framing in this shot with the darker left/top border where the lights are off. There's still interest in those areas, even though the eye is pulled towards the center where the white-shirted girl is doing her face. Black and white was an excellent choice here in my opinion because color for me whould definately have been overbearing. The key here is reflection upon reflection. I also like your presence in the photo, leaning as far off the frame as you could to not bring focus to yourself. Sometimes we look at photos and never think of the one who captured them, especially in this type of documentary shot. But with your presence, we are forced to realize that although the photographer may not be key to the running or success of a show, they are still important entities!

Wonderfully captured Alina.

I think in that being a part of the shot made of this a self portrait to me

gorgeous shot hesi, the exposure is nothing less than perfect... and with all those lights it had to be difficult

So that you with the camrea? Very cool, I love that you are in the picture too. (Beautiful cam btw. )
Oh and the life in the backstage must be interesting! This pictures shows it very good!
I love those mirrors and the people we can see. And I really want that kind of mirror with lamps too.
The picture also looks great in b&w. Was there lot of colors? Sometimes colors can be beautiful in this kind of pictures.

Just great great!
