RebeccaT
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
They both said it was an ugly picture of her. Thanks so much Rebecca ;)
Outdoors2
Not a thing wrong
Great shot, Wise one….;-P
funkyfacestudio replied
He he he thanks ;)
Stuart Chapman
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 ;)
midzing

Thank you Dear ;)
billyboy
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 ;)
StacyLee
Wow the glow is gorgeous!!! Incredible work!!
funkyfacestudio replied
Thank you Stacy ;)
frogster
Wonderful image Lisa
Angel Warda
my goodness!!!!! gorgeous!
Wendi Donaldson
Well ‘they’ probably think it’s not flattering….....but WE know differently!! this is gorgeous…lovely moody tonal shot.
funkyfacestudio replied
He he he thank you !
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
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 !
Sally Omar
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo
Judith Oppenhe...
i think its amazing
Lenny La Rue, IPA
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. :-)
helmutk
Lovely shot Lisa !
Steven Agius
I reckon this has come out great dont see anything wrong you have done a excellent job of this image.
Antanas
perfect…........
Ralph Olsson
Just wnderfully done. Outstanding and a fav:)
Von McKnelly
funkyfacestudio replied
What? you like this one better? ;)
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
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
I can’t get over how gorgeous she is…seriously terrific portrait!
ys-eye
The expression is so full of emotion… the furrowed brow makes it just perfect!
Béla Török
Excellent work, dear Lisa! Fabulous portrait!
Alessandro Pinto
Awesome portrait.. beautiful and perfect !
halftone
She’s got such beautiful skin and features it’s impossible to take an “ugly” shot….
funkyfacestudio replied
Kaila said “she looks like a chubby little man” he he he. thank you dear !
Ingz
so very very beautiful xxx excellent portrait xxx
Sensiworld
Beautiful !
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 ;)
Melanie Roberts
Your daughter is beautiful and you have caputured her so beautifully.
gypsykatz
WOW….AMAZING SHOT. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, WELL DONE!!!!
Kerstin Inga
You should put this in the “Images for film” group! its an amazing shot! with such a romantic air to it! amazing model!!!
funkyfacestudio replied
Thank you so much !
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!
Tina Longwell
Don’t know why they wouldn’t like it. She is beautiful!
Cindy Olivier
fantastic work, i adore it
Casey Herman
Well, after scrolling about a mile down to get to the bottom of this page, your daughters might by now get the idea that this is a great shot after all! Well done!!

Emmahleee
This is such a gorgeous image..
andrea verstegen
The lighting’s incredible! No idea why they don’t like it. Ask them to give you the full explanation.
conilouz
Stunning capture!
thepaintedsoul
What an other-worldly quality to this sensitive portrait. Congrats on a great shot!
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
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
Shannon Paskaruk
its lovely!
MaryRVogt
Beautiful model in any image. Nice work.

amko
Such a beautiful evocative image, one can’t help but wonder what she was thinking about! :))
Kimberley Davitt
I think this is incredible, she is so attractive, she should be proud of this image, well done
Judson Joyce
Love the eyes. Really like your diversity in all your work.
limerick
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.

Rhenastarr
Breathtaking shot, she is simply beautiful.
Rhinovangogh
Great capture. Love your work. Rhino
Wendy Slee
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!
funkyfacestudio replied
Thank you so much Wendy !
Deborah Parkin
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
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.
funkyfacestudio replied
I guess she doesn’t she’s 13 so explains tons LOL thank you so much !
TickerGirl
Lovely.
Christer Fribrock
A sense of feverish sensuality to this photo. Great process and composition!
