LOVE that posture on the model, almost seems resigned to fate! FMD!

ha ha, tis my sister, my mum has this one printed rather large hanging in her lounge room! LOL, she’s travelling round the world as we speak, this sister that is!
thank sooooooooooo much! ;-) xox
deliriousgirl

Maybe she’s resigned to her fate of hanging in your mother’s lounge room??? For me that would be a fate worse than death, almost!
aglaia b

hahahhahaha, yes she keeps taking it down and mother puts it up again. LOL ;-)
yt sumner

Sophie Shapiro

Aglaia I think this photograph has taken me to another place! I’m sorry but you know your photographs have this effect on me! (And I travel in time via a daydream I suppose, is the best way to explain it.) There is such a strong female presents here that I don’t quite understand why this is making me think of a man in a different Century…...So I will share with you his amazing words to illustrate this wonderful emotive photograph!...........Here
aglaia b replied

thank you so much sophie for your comment here and i’m so happy you have worked out the link thing. LOL
guess what my you tube clips are not loading and i am still to work out what the problem is, so i’ll have to save this link and check it out later. i have something wonderful to look forward to until then.;-) xox ♥
April Mansilla

what an amazing concept …the look the stance …the feel how one feels at odds and alone in the world …brilliant!
aglaia b replied

yes thanks april, we were going for that dead pan look, however she did feel alone during this time so you are spot on! ;-) xox
mhkantor

great pose. highlight for me is the fog and trees and especially the grasses. this black and white series is truly exceptional aglaia
aglaia b replied

thanks so much mh! ;-) xox
the detail of these grasses here are so incredible, due to the medium format camera!
andreasphoto

I knew there are more of those…
aglaia b replied

and more, however this one is by far my favourite!
thanks andreas ;-) xox
andreasphoto

I just can imagine, how perfectly it appears on this fiber based paper instead of a electronic screen
aglaia b replied

the details are so amazing, especially in the grasses, the medium format helped with that!
andreasphoto

ok , I’m already jeleaous. don’t mention medium format ;-)
aglaia b replied

ha ha, tis only an old fossil medium format, however it does the job well. do you own one? ;-)
set you back around $300, at a guess!
andreasphoto

hmm, I know someone will kill me, if I buy another camera. $300 sounds tempting….
aglaia b replied

ha ha , you can never have too many!
what do you have?
botticcelli

top photo..so many things i could say about this…mostly about that strong moody composition.
aglaia b replied

thanks rafael ♥♥♥
gutterhubris

As always, I love it. I looked back through your earlier work to find the others. I love this one all on its own…its moody, moody, moody…but I like it even more when I have the other two handy. Any chance you’d put all three at the top of your front page?

The texture, comp, and tones are all just perfect – you’re hugely talented, A.
aglaia b replied

thank you so much my lovely lady.
yes just for you!
;-) xox
Von McKnelly

PJ Ryan

LOVE this so much .. love this whole series ..

beautifully talented work xx
aglaia b replied

thank you my beautifully talented friend. ;-) xox ♥
gigglingnewt

love this; there is a kind of ‘awkwardness’ to the models pose. It adds to the feeling that something might skulk out of the mist behind – the tall trees to the right give the mist a substance greater than it actually has…if that makes sense?

great stuff
aglaia b replied

thank you for your wonderful comment, it makes perfect sense.
i am simply giggling at your newt. ;-)
Deborah Parkin

I just love this shot – great pose, wonderful setting and I just love the square format as well as the black and white – just brilliant.

Colleen Milburn

Fantastic work, indeed, aglaia – well done :-)
Mark Hayward

all of the above+10. cool shot!
Stephen Colquitt

I like how you have combined two things that really dont go together to produce such interesting contrast in this one. When combined with the foggy landscape this is top shelf imagery.
jamesharvie

aglaia this is the best piece of urs ive seen so far. kinda helpless love the legs curving in the fog n trees superb. Great models and I love how you like to experiment. I love how your works love to shock the audience its really good.
bronbennie

superb !
