50 mono portraits at 50mm : No. 42 : Thekla

My 2nd portrait from the Arnold and District Camera CLub visit to Kelham Hall In Newark.

This is Thekla who was one of the models who came to the event.

Edited in Rawtherapee with a film emulation of Kodak TRI-X 400

I think this portrait is more natural and less 'posed for' than the the previous model shot (no. 41 in the series)

Beautiful girl and beautiful light! The skin tones are admirable
!

[Judith Greenwood]

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg thnks judith, model shooting is outside my comfort zone

@maggiemae thanks maggie, i tried to make the skin tones look good in post processing

[PhotoCrazy]

[Annie D]

beautiful tones Phil - and her eyes are gorgeous - not sure about the placement of the hand

[Phil Howcroft]

@annied thanks Annie, I agree the hand is awkward, this was the best pic of her eyes though :-)

[Phil Howcroft]

@alinz cheers Ali

@ivan thanks for your nice words ivan

[Phil Howcroft]

@photographycrazy thanks for your visit :-)

[Nick]

Another lovely portrait.

[Judith Johnson]

What a lovely clear skin she has, and a superb photo too.

[Pat Knowles]

Her eyes look wonderful Phil....she must be so happy with this!

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Gena Pegg]

WOW...she is a beauty and you have captured that beauty expertly!!

[Nicole]

beautiful portrait!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

I prefer the tonal variations in Nicole's portrait but this one has the magic catchlights in the eyes. Also agree about the more relaxed, spontaneous feeling to this. Both are pleasing portraits and work well in mono, as always.
