Interesting photo that draws you in...
Thanks very much! That was my intention, I was aiming to draw in the viewer with more questions than answers. Who is she, and why is she standing in the light, but almost see-through? What does she want?

Thank you for the explanation. I didn't remember a similar scene from the video although some may describe Kate Bush's singing akin to a ghost screeching...

Wondering how Withering Heights could be the inspiration for your image I googled the 1978 reference:
After viewing the video for about 30 secs. it amazes me that caterwauling could inspire anyone.
However Your image is great and the young lady is all the inspiration I would have needed!!

Yes, that’s definitely a piece of art that isn’t universally popular! I’m in the art appraisal camp that is awestruck about a teenage girl reinterpreting a hundred plus year old novel into a new art form and becoming the first female artist in the World to both write and perform a #1 hit single. And she’s still relevant and breaking new records, 5 decades later.

Nicely done high-key effect.
Thanks! This effect can be challenging using only a single source of natural light. Always gratifying when it works.

I agree on the harshness of that cloth line. It seems to cut off her hair too much. A slightly different angle or position of the cloth would be perfect.
Understood. For this composition, I felt it worked. I wanted the fabric to appear to be more solid than the model, it was an artistic option I chose for this image, to fit a “ghost at the window” theme.
I’m now going to play with other shots in this series, using colour and some edge softening of the fabric, to try to tell a different story.

yes, she creates her own trend rather than copying others, very much an inspiration!

Yes, I think it was Elton John who once described Kate Bush as “Artistic Marmite”; she’s definitely a polarizing influence in the industry. Elton credits her and Peter Gabriel with saving his life with this song: https://youtu.be/VjEq-r2agqc

This is just gorgeous!

BB, I went back and looked at some of your previous posts and they all look nicely exposed, which leads me to believe that you know how to expose an image. I’m sorry to say that this image looks to me to be just under exposed and not an intentional high key image. If this is what you intended, I apologize for my assessment. But there are really no true blacks in your image, a high key image is much more than just underexposing the subject to blow out the background. I’m not disparaging your work as a whole, but this photo doesn’t really work as everything is washed out. I don’t really comment too much, but this needs another go. I saved it to my photo file and tried to correct it but there’s not enough density to bring out enough blacks to make it work. Your body of work as a portfolio is great, just not this one. It’s a nice enough pose of a nice model. It’s just not really exposed very well.

Overexposed, not under. Pardon my beginner’s error. Once the auto fill gets the word , which I mistakenly typed, it puts it in every time I start to type it again. I made this comment just before I went to sleep and obviously was not paying too much attention to it. Anyway, take my commentary and just substitute over for under.
