Picture of the Week 21.2.05

[Glen]

This weeks picture of the week is one of a series which is posted here by Wendell. I don't know if I like these shots because Wendell is a good photographer or his friend and model Laura is a good sort.

As you can read Wendell had a white room, model,window, camera and flash. Great result when compares the simplicity of this setup to what some big names use for portraiture. Have a look at the series, this is only one of many and doesn't show how many excellent shots were in the series. Well done Wendell

This is a very compelling portrait, you can really relate to and engage
with the subject.

And I agree with Glen, she is a good sort.

More beautiful work Wendell, and a well deserved PotW

Fine choice Glen.

Excellent image Wendell and very well selected by Glen. I thought that this series had a great array of fantastic images when I first saw it. As Glen has already said Wendell had an extremely simple setup yet again he has excelled using his skills and his developing know-how.

I think I like the image for the two reasons Glen does

[Manta]

It certainly was a pleasure looking through that series Wendell.

Laura has lovely skin tones and you've lit and posed her beautifully, resulting in a fresh, sharp and absorbing image.

You should both be very proud. Congratulations.

Good choice Glen - This shot is perhaps a little more traditional than many other PsOTW but shows the real craft of photography is often the simple attention to basics.

Whilst not a great fan of portraiture (I can take them or leave them), I do think this is a beauty and a well-deserved POTW. Lovely soft lighting, a simple pose and a lovely face - well done W.

Had to pop in and say well done on this. It's a magazine shot, yet still comes across as quite natural, a good cover shot, shows great skill in composition and art.

Lovely shot Wendell. Having had a look at the series she really does have a range of looks. Perfect lighting.

Nice work, Wendell!! Liked the series when I saw it originally, and still like the shots

I like how simple it is - a lot of my shots are too busy, so that's definitely something I can learn to improve on.

[Killakoala]

This is an image that could sell millions of tonnes of makeup.

Well done Wendell and well done to your model too. Great POTW.

[Alex]

Well done, Wendell! Very well deserved.

Congrats Wendell! It's a credit to your increasing skill and talent that you have picked up another POTW in fairly week sucession!

Lovely stuff, thanks for inspiring us, and sharing you techniques and gorgeous photos with us!

[rokkstar]

This was my pick of the bunch from the shoot Wendell - it's a classic look, beautifully clean, and well shot.
I'd like to see her ear in focus but that's a minor thing.\

Congratulations again mate - 2 now!

[timbo]

Congratulations Wendell! The whole series is beautiful in its range and the winning shot is superb. Laura comes through as relaxed and at ease with the photographer which is where a great deal of the skill also lies.

And once again, I'm lusting after that lens. Dang!
