Tranquil, Beauty & Drama; Moody portraits of a girl with secrets.

in Photography5 years ago

We all have secrets and keep secrets. It could be bad or good secrets. But we keep these secrets for a reason.

For me, my secrets are not tales of heinous crimes or mischievous acts. My secrets are about my vulnerabilities and weakness. I keep these secrets judiciously because in the wrong ears, these secrets would hurt me.

I hope that one day, I find someone to share the secrets of my heart with, and hope that he doesn't use them to hurt me. But until I find him, I'll rather hide my secrets in dark shades, and reveal them in front of lights and camera lenses, because those won't hurt me.

For this portrait, I explored double exposure with different textures.

I created this portrait with an awkward 2-light set-up. One light was placed over her heard to serve as hair light, and also separate her from the background. The other light was placed in front of her in the same position the hair light was placed. I loved the result though.

Two weeks ago, I shared a portrait about a girl with secrets. It was my entry for the #monomad challenge, so I shared the black and white variant. Well, what do you think about the colored variant?

Gear Used

  • Nikon D750
  • Nikon 28-85mm lens
  • Godox Ad600 in a beauty dish as hair-light
  • Godox SK400 as key light.

Wow, these pictures are really great.

But until I find him, I'll rather hide my secrets in dark shades, and reveal them in front of lights and camera lenses, because those won't hurt me.

That's the way to do it, just show your emotions through the images.

Thank you very much.

Revealing vulnerabilities must be done towards the right people. I think it is good to take as much time as you need to observe the person and see if they can be trusted. I rarely confide in anyone and I think we should protect our inner core carefully. Nice pictures, love the red dress!

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Welcome😊

Awesome pictures.

You just can't beat the glow that emits from these shots.

Bravo!

Wooooww... beautiful presentation...
