Very smooth – love your props :)
Simon Whittaker replied
Thanks TotS, I think it is supposed to be politically correct to have cigarettes in photographs – but who likes politicians!!!!!

Jean M. Laffitau

I don’t approve of smoking at all even slightly – but I defend your right to create art :)
Simon Whittaker replied
I hadn’t thought of that actually. In all seriousness, neither the model or I smoke. I did wrestle with wether or not I should use the cigarette – in the end I included it to acheive that retro look and give her the look of doing something.
Sharon Mau
It is a beautiful portrait Simon.
Simon Whittaker replied
Mahalo Sharon!

Trish O'Brien
Gorgeous – and I think the fag works perfectly here, its absolutely the right genre and style for that. After all, in the days from which this hails, everyone smoked – and lived to be old! lol :-)
Simon Whittaker replied
Thanks very much for that – good point too.

Oh this is beautiful! I love the focusing on this woman, how her legs are out yet her face is in. Excellent!! Also good choice of camera ;) its my next buy!
Simon Whittaker replied 3 days ago
Thanks for that, I have to tell you it is a superb bit of kit. Every time I pick it up I feel its awesome potential. I had a choice between getting a car or the 5Dmk2 – I had enough change from the camera to buy some comfortable walking shoes!
