Smoke and Mirrors

I’m guessed a mirror then saw the title.

Looks to be an old mirror from an old dressing table like you find at the Salvos.
Worn down and dusty.

It certainly looks that way.

Beautfiul and enticing image. What is she thinking?

So engaging and so beautifully composed! Was it spontaneous or composed?

I never looked at it as if it were a mirror reflection. I like that. I used a smoke machine.

I think this is just the most exquisite photo – compositionally, subject-wise, and aura-wise. What a stunningly beautiful subject, like a beautifully crafted, alive porcelain doll.

I agree stunningly beautiful – I love the soft colours and mood.

Ditto….ditto…..ditto…and I love its almost painterly look. Just beautiful Tim! (Cool to see a fellow PSC’n here too!)

This photo has captured a moment in time, very reminicent of the look coming out of Europe during the war times.
A beautiful photograph, well done.

Beautiful Just beautiful.

You’ve captured a moment in time beautifully.

i love the emotion in this one…

Wow i love this how did you do it?

Thanks nsoup. Just a smoke machine, and one light. I went to P.S.C too, Yay!!!

beautifull. what a model!

She is beautiful – love the smoke & lighting – great job!

beuatiful, classic model, very fresh capture, lovely work.

Great composition, and I echo all the previous comments also.
It does look like it was shot through glass, or perhaps a reflection in a mirror.
Its one of my favourites, nice work :)

Wonderful portrait shot! Congrats Tim and more power!

Dreamy work. I love the softness, the colour, her expression.

So evocative! She could be underwater, watching her lover leaving her!

Wow – this reminds me of the underwater scene in Dario Argento’s Inferno. Very well done!! Very classy.
