Ahhhh …Black and white photography…it’s in a class of its own…what a great shot…congratulations…us looking at her while she looks…at herself…beautiful.
such a timeless, gorgeous photograph. something i would rip out of a fashion magazine, although i would just take the whole magazine rather than rip it out, especially if it had something like this in its pages! ;-) xox
wonderful arrangement & pose, the cigarette just gives it real style like a 50’s film set, excellent use of DOF to keep her soft focus apart from the mirror reflection – Very Stylish Image
This photograph reminds me of one that Art Shay took of de Beauvoir. I went to his book signing last summer, what a life he has ! This is such a beautiful, rich black and white. Very sensual too.
Europeans have a different way about them than we do here in the states. We used the mens room for this shoot and the men that came in would nod and carry on without interrupting us and or work. If it had been here it would have been a different story with a half naked girl hanging around.
I never noticed until I picked up the print from the lab and the printer dude pointed it out to me. Yap, Tri-X 400 film canister. Not many people notice so I’ve decided that it’s a conversation piece for those that do and will leave it in.
