OK, now I have it. I am convinced on how the shot was done and all is well. The clue was in reading your response that the line was in the ceiling. Thank you! Great creativity with a human being.

This is the most confusing shot I have ever seen! It appears she is holding a mirror (see her right hand) and yet there appears to be another mirror on the floor that is in perfect harmony with what she is holding. Is that the photoshop work? Please help us out here as I see this as Houdini stuff!


Ya, now I can see how that reflection of the light fixture can be a perceptual problem. It does make it look like that is the end of the mirror on a cursory examination. I never paid it any mind because I don’t think it was ever an issue, and it was handy to have for cleaning the set or rearranging the lights or furniture. It just happened to be in the wrong place for this shot and I totally overlooked it. FA, you were correct in saying it should go, and go it will.

I find the setup and effect interesting… but her facial expression looks like anguish.


Oh, and I don’t think she’s showing anguish, I like to see reverie there.

Back to Amoreena, as I always go. Fun with a mirror in the studio. This was a fairly difficult shot to get just right, the lighting was a bit tricky (light to the rear and right, light on the floor to rim light the mirror and a reflector to lighten up her foreground just a touch, and all of that not to appear in the mirror), especially with a somewhat impatient model. We finally got it done and I made it nicer in Photoshop. I hope it is well received by you viewers. It was a lot of work for both of us.

Your work is always always appreciated and excellent. I am always find myself just shaking my head in wonder when reading some of the comments especially in this topic section. Just the little bitty nit-picky comments about the little bitty stuff that to me, means nothing for most of the time. Like on this image here, comments about the blue line. Well I looked at the image again and to me it defines the mirror. Sure not a 'problem' to me. It is part of setting and you captured it. To me, photography is capturing the image as seen by the person holding the camera and what is captured. Yea yea, photo shop and Post Processing in nice when required for the circumstances. Anyway, my nickels work of comments today. Keep on sharing Wirtz.
Bruce.

mirrors are such great devices in photos, but, it makes trying to keep everything in focus very difficult.

Per popular request, I have overcome my laziness (somewhat) and have taken the blue line of the light fixture out of this image. I agree that it is better, and that the time spent doing it was not misspent.

Yes, much better. And worth the time and effort!

One of the wonderful things about this image is that she can be standing up or lying on her back, and you don't know which, and that shows the mastery of the lighting technique! Thanks for the edit!!

I actually prefer the B/W over the colour. Her facial expression seems less pained when the colours are removed.
