She is beautiful, and you captured her beauty perfectly. I love that look. Very very well done.

Thanks for sharing.

I like her expression - she's young and sly. Tried to reproduce it...
Not sure that "sly" is the appropriate word. Don't know language
enough.
Maybe you will help me?

Young, sly, beautiful and very well photographed. I remember seeing one of your earlier portraits here. You are quite good at it.

Ladno (Ok), Yehuda.
I imagine the situation. Suppose I became the flash adherent.
(We all became calculator users, after all)
As we have minimum 3 ways of flash power and according to my fear
of seeing white spots instead of skin and red colored eyes, I'd
have to take not 12, but 12*3=36 shots (minimum)! (Before I could
come a little bit closer to your flash usage!)

Exactly, Yuri, the opposite of it. Instead of 12 photos, you will need now to take 6 only!

Yuri Pautov said:
Besides, we use flash outdoors, indoors, with/without reflectors
and so on.

I'm talking about the onboard flash. So issues like reflectors, bouncer etc. don't apply here.

Yuri Pautov said:
But generally speaking it worth studying...

Agree.

Yuri Pautov said:
P.S. Surely, I'm waiting for your flash lessons (with photos)

I sent to you a sample photo privately, to illustrate my point. About 'lessons' - well, I'll be always happy to learn together with you.

Best regards, Yehuda

i like how you got the background so out of focus, making you pay attention to the subject. what was the f-stop at, and how far was the background from the subject?

Great portrait, Yuri! To me the skin tones looked a little cool, so I did some tweaking in Photoshop. Hope you don't mind! I added some red and yellow and did a soft lens effect on her skin.

Stunning. IMO that look could be defined as;
Enticing with more than a hint of "and I dare you to try.."

just trying to inform....but I don't believe an onboard flash will produce anything but a snapshot. Natural light is the best, umbrellas or softboxes would be my next choice, bouncing an external flash comes in third, and an external flash diffused as far from my lens as I can get it is fourth.

The onboard flash is when I have no other choice and don't want to miss the moment.

dave

ps fill flash is for when I can't diffuse the harsh light, or bounce fill it, and just plain have no other choice.

Oh, and Yuri your shot and model are beautiful! (I would have used less blue in the eyes, but that purely subjective)

Yehuda Katz said:

No. I took excellent flash photos, as fill-in in daylight, using my
onboard flash of the 707. I can show an example, if you wish.

Yuri Pautov said:

But as I mentioned before, I try to avoid shots with flash.

I love you current style very much. My impression is that others
here thik too so.

No offense, Sarah, but she looks a bit jaundiced in your rendition.
I kinda prefer the healthy look of the original.

Excellent Photo!!!!

I'm inclined to go with the description as skeptical.
Such as....... "You expect me to believe THAT !"

Great photo Yuri.

She makes for a good model. Are those coloured contacts or post prod. or mother nature

Hope to see some more shots of her soon.
