Another Thursday, another face.

Portrait13Ashley

My instructor says it's my best one yet -- probably has a lot to do with my lack of trying to squeeze in details.  But he might be right; I like this one a lot.  Except for that blasted ear.  Interesting how taking a flash photograph magnifies the contrast in shades -- the shadow on her chin doesn't look nearly so dark on the real thing.  Aaaand that's about all I have to say about that.

Yeah, you pretty much NEVER want to take a flash photograph of a piece of art, ever. If you can help it. Tripods and slow shutter speeds are your friends.

Also, I agree. This one's good. I'm especially impressed with her mout and the wrinkles around that area of the face. It's subtle and I find REALLY difficult to get just right.

Thank you! I've been working on making the lines and wrinkles as subtle as possible so it doesn't age the model or make him/her look sad. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it!

Hey there, just me, anon stalker. ;) I just felt the need to comment on how completely awesome that portrait is! The nose, in particular, looks so real. And all of the shadowing is awesome. I think the ear looks pretty good too!
