Joanne Bradley
Just absolutely love the composition and the side view of the instrument being played! Very unique! And the tonal variance is outstanding!
MATTEOX replied
I’m so glad you like it! It was one of those moments that I never ‘expected’ to capture… I was just watching her play from the side and figured it would make a great shot. I hope i was right :)

Hey Kyra!
Thanks. I’m not too sure if the mood of the photo actually suits the mood of the band’s music… but I think it makes for a nice picture! :)

Mariam Muradian
This is such a joyful, intimate, and comforting image for me personally because my Father was a cellist. I grew up with this instrument.
The angle, tones, and aesthetic are beautiful!
Thank you.
Blessings.
MATTEOX replied
Wow Mariam. That’s a touching story. I am so glad that my work means so much to someone out there. Thanks for your comments! I really appreciate it!

skyoftexas
Very cool. Now why didn’t I think of this?
MATTEOX replied
Hah! I think you give me too much credit! There was hardly a thought process behind the shot other than “press that damn shutter release”. I think it was just luck that I happened to capture the right moment :)
But thank you anyways! :)
Sharon Brady

polaroids
MATTEOX replied
Thanks Polaroids! I love your pictures! They take me back… back to the old school.
chriso
Nice lines and great background for contrast.
MATTEOX replied
Thanks Chriso,
The background was actually trees and bushes that were in the distance, and out of focus. It created a great ‘studio-style’ backdrop when I took out the colour, making the subject really pop out. I’m glad you like it!

Yadda, yadda, yadda. You are not going to get away with trying to out modest me. I have already claimed that corner. You SAW the shot. You composed it. And you PP’ed it in a very attractive and artistic way. Yes, luck, or as I call it surprise, is very much a part of photography. But it depends on making ones self available for it’s visitation. It is a very good shot that focusses on the specifics of creating art, and so in turn, you have created art. Take a bow. Congratulations are very appropriate.
MATTEOX replied
Yeah… you got me – i AM awesome! heheh :)
No, but really – thank you. I graciously accept your praise and appreciation of my art. Your comments humble me greatly.
soulerean
