 Just a little pet peeve of mine. The rough borders on the image above are real... model: Krystal Kitchen makeup and hair: Rachel McBride styling: Kat Smith Anyway, this is Krystal and the portrait was shot at the end of a shoot for a small publication called Exabode aimed at college students that I think is no longer around. It's one of my favorites because I can see something in her eyes that I didn't see at all that day and I hope she's happier in life than the feelings that this image provoke. camera/film: Horseman LX 4x5, Schneider 360mm 6.8 Symmar-S. Polaroid Type 55 P/N lighting: Mole Richardson Junior Solar Spot 2K with a 4x4 ft. diffuser. Replies: 16 have commented Ah yes, but how would we know unless you told us?

I love the way you lit this frame. Shannon said @ 01/14/2005 09:49 PM PST Beautiful girl and photo. Fat Free Milk said @ 01/15/2005 03:47 PM PST I agree with you. Why add a fake boarder...let the photo be what it is. I also agree that her eyes are intriguing. The non-symmetry speaks to beauty without perfection. Great portrait. matt said @ 01/16/2005 07:49 AM PST One of my favorites of yours so far... Megan said @ 01/16/2005 08:30 AM PST One of mine, too. Simple and lovely. Broad said @ 01/17/2005 12:36 PM PST Thanks folks. Yes that is her name. I hadn't noticed the pupil thing, but I'm sure it's just a function of the light being pretty close to that side of her face. Brooks said @ 01/17/2005 10:57 PM PST What an great portrait, I love the rough edges, John at orbit1 has been posting some polaroid portraits with wonderful edges too. miles said @ 01/18/2005 10:22 AM PST where have i seen her before? copygodd said @ 01/18/2005 10:32 PM PST Her pupils are huge...which means it was either dark in the room when you took it, or she dug you, my friend. I'm not sure how much Mrs. Brooks would be into that.. Megan said @ 01/19/2005 08:43 PM PST Wonderful shots shared here. This one really caught my eye. Do you use depth of field or a soft focus vingette over the lens? The crisp face and softness all over is really nice. scott said @ 01/27/2005 10:40 PM PST The shallow depth of field you see in this image is from tilting the front lens board on the 4x5 view camera forward to throw the plane of focus off.
