    I’m still finding my way around here in RB, I love all of your selfportraits. I am only skimming the surface at the mo as I’ve not a lot of time (bussy) But felt I had to let you know that this is a beautiful portrait!

  • Kitsmumma

    Hi Paul, thank you so much, very flattered by your comment.

  • Kitsmumma

    Hi Sylvia, thank you so much. I’m really flattered. Funny though, none of my self portraits actually look like me and I guess that is what I love about them. You can be someone else, if that makes sense, people think they are seeing you but they are not, it may only be a mood or emotion or total make believe. I took this shot about 10 years ago and I’m glad I did. Of all my self portraits, this one probably resembles me the most. Thanks for your interest Sylvia, I really appreciate it.

    This is so Betty Davis…heheh.
    Excellent collection of work you have! And I’m a shadow junkie also!
    The blur gives this the feeling of a movie still rather than just a photograph.
    I like your style. :)

    Love the way you’ve used the minimal light to catch certain aspects here Sylvia, particularly the highlight in your left eye. Really well done.

  • Kitsmumma replied

    Thanks so much Chris, an oldie I took, processed and developed myself when I used to have a darkroom. Would like to say I did it on purpose, but it was a fluke, maybe I had smoke in my eye which made it a little watery, catching the candlelight.
