I was thinking a lot about this Friday's theme, and what to post, and actually ended up digging in my archives, and going back to 2011. In February of 2011 we did a shoot on some local hills, and I remembered how windy it was that day.
You can view some of those images from 2011 here:
1. Darker Country Fields
2. Two Country Portraits
3. Country Fields
4. Magical Woods Portrait
Anyway, I went through them and saw one that I never ended up using since it was so windy on the cliffs. But once I applied my own technique of black and white, it ended up being presentable. It has that indie, fashion-shoot, off-the-cuff quality that I can't really put my finger on.

ReplyDeletegreetings, Hilde
it truly is beautiful and per our TV THEY say this year messy hair is IN and they are purposely making it fly away, just like this.
ReplyDeleteWell, there you go, then. :D
Deletea good one for wind. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it - it is a perfect 'windy' portrait, it could be a street photography shoot almost (a la some of Bill Cunningham's shots:)
ReplyDeleteOh Thank you!

DeleteMoin Mersad...
ReplyDeleteein wunderschönes Portrait ist das geworden ! Und das nicht nur dank des Modells, sondern vor allem Dank des Fotografen.
Mir gefällt es in s/w richtig Oberklasse ! Aus irgend einem Grund stehe ich sowieso auf s/w ... Das bringt immer so eine ganz eigene Stimmung mit sich.
Okidoki... Ich wünsche Dir ein schöne Wochenende
LG
