Priviet, dear friends-DGriners (and guests!).
Today's shots inside our multipex SPARTAK and some outside.

1 Oh, its so hard to choose a proper pose.

2 One of the main things - to relax (a lot of talking....)

3 This composition first appeared in my mind (including sepia) and then we made it...
4672.jpg
4 It wasnt easy to compose this pose - I disengage myself from colors, forms, leaving only lines...
4673.jpg
5 Trying to catch the expression...
4674.jpg
6 And yes, eyes are always the center of my compositions...

7 This happend during our session :-)

8 She must be thinking : what this mad photographer is going to do next...

Spasibo,
Yuri

    Beautiful as usual Yuri.

    But, I have to ask did you scratch your name on the railing or is that photoshop? I like the effect if you did it in photoshop.

    I found it a couple reasons. One is that I have always found Crylic writing to be very interesting. No, I cannot read it, I just think it looks neat. Two, I was looking at the lighting and shadows to figure out how he lit the shot. Naturally I was looking at the shadow lines and saw the Pautov and remembered it was his last name. First thought was that he scratched his name. Then I thought maybe that is photoshop. But, I cannot zoom in right now to look at it in detail.

    One thing I have not figured out, and really it does not matter, is what the silver ring around the post is. It looks like a bike padlock but I cannot tell for sure. Yas, I know, I look for weird stuff in photos.

    #6 is beautiful portrait but #5 is a great photograph. Excellent work and variety in this series Yuri. I think you should try this more often!

    Another great set of images, Yuri.

    #6 is definitely my favourite. Is it the tighter crop or is the lady more photogenic from her side than compared to her left side (#4)?

    Thanks for sharing.

    So many folks - so many thoughts...
    No #6 is not a crop - it was a "text" as I call it photosession to find proper points of shooting, best foreshortenings and so on...
    Spasibo, Gene!

    Yuri:

    Nice job but your model doesn't have much variety of expression. She's very cute-- I just don't get a sense her personality is showing through in these images. Just my opinion, of course.

    From my eyes, you live a heavenly life! She's so beautiful, it hurts! :D
    I particularly love #5, emerging from under the bridge - it looks like a breath of fresh air.
    Thank you.

    Great work once again. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with #6.

    #5 for me... I like the composition, the expression. I really feel the story behind the pic.
    The tunnel brings something great, a separation between the city behind and what she feels right now. Kind of brings a great background...

    Moreover, she really reminds me of the nice doctoress in Prison Break...

    Sure I can only imagine the feelings of Julia, when she'll read your words.

    Hmm, it's a tough one. Different meanings depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities
    • Prank, to prank
    • Do smth "just for the fun of it" (I think this would be the most appropriate for this particular case)
    • Have a good laugh about smth
    • A joke (also, a practical joke)
