The Slinky

My daughter was in a silly mood tonight and created this hair masterpiece. She calls it "The Slinky!" What do you think of the angle of her face??

I know nothing about portrait photography, but I think this a beautiful and very fun capture :-)

@allisonrap Thank you. I thought it had an old time feel.

[Kristine Muller]

Love the hair! I think the angle is great and I love the expression. I would have loved to see a bit more of her neck and shoulders.

[KWind]

@krissym Thanks, Kristine. She was wearing an ugly red shirt with writing all over it so I cropped it out. I wish she had some vintage style dress on instead!

[Kristine Muller]

That would have been great! You need to start scoping out all the thrift stores. Its a beautiful picture, a very classic pose.

[Susan Klassen]

Fun!

[LindyLou]

Looks like a movie star! Fun picture.

This is so cool! The lighting is wonderful!

I like the hair. I like the square crop too, but I agree with someone else that it would be nice to have seen a bit more of her neck and shoulders. I like the lighting too...is this natural light or flash? I know nothing about lighting :(

Thanks for you comments and ideas. No flash was used. There wasn't a lot of light available so it's a miracle it turned out. I asked her to stay really still and I did the same. In fact, I held my breath! I also had her close to a window and turned towards the light. I just checked into reducing the crop. I was going to put in my "extra" album so you could compare but it's not good. She was between a lamp and a mirror and her cotton t-shirt wrecks the whole effect. If I zoom out, there's lines and stuff everywhere.

This is very pretty. I like the idea very much. I guesswith portrait like this you just need to take a lot of shots, try different angles and poses as long as model is willing to cooperate. She has beautiful face.

[KWind]

@bardejov I was lucky. We spent about 5 minutes at the most.

This is a beaufitul portrait. Her eyes really catch the attention and I think the hairdo is kinda cool and gives it a vintage feeling. You should do this again sometime, planned and with a matching outfit!

A really beautiful portrait.

[Cristina]

I love love this portrait! She is so beautiful and it definitely has an old time feel to it. I like the angle and the crop too!

I love portraits, and this one is amazing. Her hair looks awesome, love the angle and that she is gazing up at her crazy hair. She has some eyelashes to die for. Fav.
