The eyes have so much expression
Yuri, I saw tutorial on the Bronze technique and really liked it. In general I think your portraits are wonderful especially the expression in the eyes of your subjects. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Once agian Yuri, your portraits just "glow" - a luminous quality to the light, and a calm serenity in your subjects just shines through.

I do notice the catchlights in her eyes - looks like a very large multipane window perhaps? Does the window face north even? :

Spasibo for your comment, pathfinder!
Yes, she's standing near a big window. North-west!!!

Very nice shots, as usual!

One thing, though, since the eyes are always important part of your portraits: Her pupils are very very small. It is just because of the light, but as a viewer it seems she is a little agitated/agressive. If her pupils were more dilated, she would look more friendly/warm.

Spasibo, flyingdutchie, for your comment!
If I'll have a new camera with high ISO/ low noise I think I can do this. But here I work 'at the breaking point':
f2.8 and 1/30 ISO 100 full zoom handheld...

I'm not seeing the images. I cleared my cache. I had this problem on another of Yuri's posts. What can the problem be? I'd hate to miss these.

Hi, Yuri
Wow, Great Photos & another pretty model.
I like the color photos the best.
I don't like her skin tones in the B&W.


Have a nice weekend,
Chuck,

As always Yuri, stunning work. What are you getting yourself as a replacement?

Also, Did you see my latest few from my shoot 2 days ago? I haven't had a chance to post process, but they're pretty good right out of the camera.

I dig the window lights in her eyes.
