Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 23 May 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Not my usual style I know...I was messing around with my camera the other night while the kids watched TV. I got this really neat shot of my sons profile. (I think it's neat anyway).
Messed around in ps with the film grain filter and brightness/contrast to make it a bit more dramatic.

Yeah it's a dramatic shot! It looks like a picture from 70s.

Manuela Photography from Hainburg, Germany

I thought at first it was a cover from the doors or something similar. Well done and love the grainy feeling. Your son has a great profile ;)

@Manuela Photography: LOL!! You know when I was messing around with it I kept thinking it looked like some kind of rock and roll cover : )

SPunkt from -, Germany

You're good at portraits, too! Very cool shot - I agree with Manuela and Behrooz. (even if The Doors are more 60s than 70s).

60's/70's great band!! : )

Interesting experiment with worthy results - grain and B&W give that dramatic impact.

Jen's eye!!!!! I knew you had it in you... FANTABULOUS! The use of the filter is not overdone and lighting sublime. It's a pro shot, Jen.

23 May 2007 3:10pm

@amy: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
It was one of those shots that I just couldn't give up on and knew I would find something really cool and different to do with it. It reminds me of an old rock and roll shot from back in the day : D

Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan

Interesting. Verging on the abstract. Good job!

23 May 2007 3:13pm

@Daroru: Thank you!
Took me a while to get it the way I wanted, glad you like it!

Very nice. Gritty and a little edgy. The backlighting is perfectly.

@Sean Bailey: Thank You!!!

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Yep, this aint you usual style, but its an "oooo" shot. Your usual style for last few weeks had been real pinky ;-) haha... kidding. This is wonderful non pink ;-) closeup shot, and the PS work is just excellent. It can sure go on the walls anyday. EXCELLENT take Jen, i love it and i am gonna try this soon.
