Priviet (In Russian Hello), dear friends!
She's not a model at all and she was a bit confused, when I asked her for a 'photosession' ...
But only a bit...
Must say that first I've shown her some photos from my site...
Her name is Yana...

Yes, yes, I know, I see this shadow, and it can be deleted with a reflector but... I have no reflector... and i think this shadow brings something which is called 'ozorstvo' in Russian (can enybody help me?)

Yes, this chain's lock... I've noticed it too late...
Yana asked me to send her (by mail) the link to our forum with this post, so she could see our discussion...
She's a little bit excited...

Your comments and critique, please...

HI Yuri,
Once again, another beautiful set. She has lovely eyes and you capture them so well. I don't know how you do it (yes, you've described your technique) but you get some of the most relaxed expressions out of your subjects. The chain doesn't bother me since it takes awhile to draw myself from the eyes.

#2 is my favorite as I like your post treatment. Very soft and feminine. I really like the expression in #7 as well, but think the cleavage is a bit distracting:D. I'm not complaining, but I'd have cropped it a bit tighter to help emphasize her face.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

I agree with Chris
#2 is the top winner (softness is just amazing!), and yes, I can't believe I'm saying that (Michiel would not, too:-), but I agree on the second "distraction" part, too

Man, I wish locale female variety were not so freaked out about a person with a camera asking for a portrait:):

Zd'orovo!
