    I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t like it!? – It’s stunning!! – so wonderfully cinematic. lot’s of talent in that family of yours :).

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Looks very impressive to me Lisa – the lighting’s something else and the depth is also great – i’d just put it down to kids never being happy LOL :)

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Yep that must be it….........they both said “it looks ugly” I have never posted a picture of her smiling on rb but she is as much a nut as anyone. Thanks Stuart ;)

    Wow! This is like… “I’m ready for my closeup now Ms. Face”... stunningly Big Screen stuff!
    Your little girl’s gonna break SO many hearts when she hits Hollywood!!

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Hmmm maybe the big up close face part is what they didn’t like LOL. Oh “Hollywood” TA! she is such a hard one to crack. She is so artistic/creative but mostly she is a big science geek ;) she wants to go to a nearby High school Academy of Science, Engineering, and High Technology. I better get my photies in while I can. Thanks a bunch Billy ;)

    Well ‘they’ probably think it’s not flattering….....but WE know differently!! this is gorgeous…lovely moody tonal shot.

  • Wayne Cook

    Wayne Cook

    She evokes much more tender and mature emotions for one so young. VERY well executed. I applaud you for pulling out the spirit of this young lady. A powerful image

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Thank you so much !

  • Jeff Clark

    Jeff Clark

    Fantastic photo, not sure why they don’t like it. Maybe because it isn’t typical but that is why I love it. Beautiful tone and expression, ten years from now they will love this!

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    I hope they will ! thank you Jeff !

    I’m a guy who doesn’t like make-up so seeing it captured so well up close and personal isn’t a favourite of mine. But for a photographer to get this close to the subject and show her beauty through any make-up whatsoever is talent even the subject may not see. My gut tells me both daughters will find the fine artistry in this great photograph before too long. :-)

  • Von McKnelly
  • funkyfacestudio replied

    What? you like this one better? ;)

  • Von McKnelly

    Von McKnelly

    I wanted to see both on the same page. The one above me I believe has more emotional impact than the one you just posted. I like it well enough but it’s not nearly as strong as Day Dreaming.
    Day Dreaming has a punch that knocks me out!

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Yep it does seem to be less striking. I do like the series that I took, they are all very different but I prefer most black and whites to be in high contrast with both black and white more so than gray. Thanks Von ;)

  • Von McKnelly

    Von McKnelly

    One of the hardest things for me to do is edit down to one image from a shoot I think people will enjoy. It’s a love hate thing I struggle with everyday.
    And please tell Kaila she did a swell job on the makeup.

  • KcranmerArt

  • Matt Penfold

    Matt Penfold

    Lisa this is a fabulous image of a very beautiful young woman, as others have noted it really does have a cinematic feel to it, she’s watched the hero ride off into the desert, she has that hollow lost feeling, the music is haunting, at this point we zoom out to see her standing, alone ….........the credits roll….....

    (my daughters aren’t happy about any photos of themselves either, comes with the territory)

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Hey that was pretty good ! Thank you Matt. I think they will love seeing these when they get older….............I hope ;)

  • Jan Piller

    I think they both have that “punch” that Von is talking about. I like them both. Both are very soft and moody and well lit.

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Oh thank you so much Jan!

    What an other-worldly quality to this sensitive portrait. Congrats on a great shot!

  • Peter Evans

    Peter Evans

    The only negative I can see in this image is that there are very small but distracting highlights on several areas of her face.
    She;s stunning and the image is feminine and sultry yet she is almost doll like.
    Excellent work by all concerned :-)

  • madvlad

    madvlad

    hard to read,sort of a face in the shadows of a no place place but the photo is well done-click and bang, whos this,and whats going on in the head? so no emotional clearity is still captervating and draws you in

    She is stunning. Can’t think of why it almost didn’t make the cut…. Once I took a pic of my son which showed him in a completely angelic light. It made him uncomfortable. I love this one.

    there is a strong feeling of other personas/other potentials on display here….I think that might be a little daunting to a young person viewing themselves in such a way…. but it is such a strong, thoughful portrait…... beautifully done!

    I am so sorry to have missed so much of your work lately Lisa (and everyone else too) – this is such a stunning portrait – she has the most amazing eyes – this has a real emotional quality – which is what I love in portraiture the most.

  • funkyfacestudio replied

    Thank you so much Deborah ! I can’t seem to get that out of everyone though.

  • smallfox

    smallfox

    But this is a wonderful photo!! She looks so mysterious and like someone on a journey, a mission, someone who is willed by destiny to succeed despite the conditions – fantastic!! Maybe she just doesn’t see herself that way.

    I guess she doesn’t she’s 13 so explains tons LOL thank you so much !
