Hello Lily! You have such a beautiful name.:)
Thank you for your kind comment.
Yes, I own a dedicated fill flash and other big hammer head flashes etc. I use antique equipment with REAL film (lol) for my own pleasure and prefer the results of analogue.
I do use fill flash when absoulutely necessary (like to fill the shadows in a bride's face at noon in blazing sunlight... eeeeks....as she is getting out of the bridal car etc); however, I avoud using flash as much as possible. If I am to have any extra light to soften or "fill" shadows, I prefer to a use relector in white, silver or gold to bounce some natural light back into my subjects face (n the case of portraits).
This shot was made without any fill. It was an artistic choice. And then adding the black vignette, I just liked it this way. :)
Please never apologize for passing on information, regardless of whether I know it or not. We are all here to share knowledge and help one another as friends! I value your comments greatly.
I am very busy currently but will visit you soon!
Warmest Wishes and again many thanks,
Aniko :)

Very artistic. I heard it helps to use fill flash to avoid shadows on face when shooting in daylight (yes, sunny conditions too). I don't own one of those flashes but thought I'd pass the info along to you. Sorry if I've repeated something you already know.

Thank you Alex.
I rarely do centre my portraits... if you look at others you will see this to be true.
I chose this "crop" very deliberately. I never follow any rules :)
Your kind comments are graciously received.
Warmest Wishes my friend,
Aniko :)

Very nice portrait. Have you tried not centering the subject? You could experience a totally new look on your pictures, even with a black or white background, or any other vigneta. Remember the golden number division of the photo!
Ciao!

Thank you Dear Michele!
I don't really "know" this young lady, or details of her love life... lol... The title was partly inspired by her dreamy look, but also in honour of her mother who gave her daughter the photographic session as a 21st Birthday gift... it was for the sake of love... :)
Thank you again Dear Michelle and best wishes to you,
Aniko:)

Ani... She has such a far away look in her eyes, way out beyond her physical surroundings... :)
Love the way the flowers/leaves are breaking the *surface tension*, so to speak, of the hair...
Beautiful...

Thank you so much Dear Ali.
This photograph is one from a series I shot.
I was commissioned to photograph her as a 21st birthday gift to this young lady. (Her mother hired me for the job.) Yes, she was pleased with the portraits, I am happy to say :)
