Environmental Portrait Composite

From a recent group photoshoot, this is essentially a three image composite. We were in a (disused!) underground reservoir with (obviously!) no natural light. An interesting environment in which to be taking photographs. For me, its a 'life under the railway arches' sort of street shot - but I wonder what it portrays to you? And do you have any suggestions regarding the pp? Your response and critique is always appreciated.

The shadows are amazing. The 2 figures in the background are superb mood-setters. The loverly, sassy girl is amazing (her pose says, "What! Bother you?). The photo is a wall hanger -- stupefying!

Glad you approve bellgamin. My wife thinks the girl spoils it - not sensuous enough for the mood - so I may try a different pose. Many thanks for commenting, it’s appreciated.

Her attitude and posture is what makes the shot for me!

Absolutely stunning model, she makes the picture. PP is well done and believable, shadows are amazing.

I like the way you show depth down the hall with other people in the shadows, but with enough light to identify. Well done. Bev

Nothing like a bit of attitude is there tommystrat? That’s what I liked about her - maybe that’s what my wife doesn’t like about her! Glad you like. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Curmudgeon. The place lends itself to good atmosphere - and a bit of care with lighting helps a lot.
