Overgaard Posted July 8, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 8, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) She recently gave me permission to publish her portrait. This is Krisztina whom I traveled for a month with after the tsunami in South East Asia. She did video interviews and video documentary while I did interviews and stills for my AFTER THE TSUNAMI project at http://www.afterthetsunami.org The dress she is wearing is one she had made while we stayed in India for some days. The rest of the time we were dressed with trousers with lots of pockets and able to withstand dirt and all. SL mot 80mm F/1.4 100 ISO Astia, Imacon scan Welcome, dear visitor!

Sandokan Posted July 9, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 9, 2006 Ehmm Thorsten, She is indeed gorgeous in a very good quality sari (my wife wants one like it) - no wonder you waited so long after the "email is down" story to your wife before publishing the photo of the woman you were with for two weeks (LOL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 9, 2006 Share #7 Posted July 9, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thorsten - She's really quite lovely, and the portrait is a stunner, too with its focus, bokeh, pose, framing and soft light. Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overgaard Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #17 Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks. You are all too kind. Shooting with Leica in a nicely lit room, having a woman i silk dress in front of the camera... I'm sorry to disappoint you, but what could possible go wrong? By the way I had silk dress made for my wife too. I had to visit three places before I found one place where they in fact DID understand that my wife is 180 cm tall and NOT 180 cm wide. Unfortunately, even I supplied all the measures (i thought), no one seemed to think about that such a tall lady (in Asian terms) also has long(er) arms. So my wife seldom wears her silk dress. She is very specific about the arms length as that is often a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 10, 2006 Share #18 Posted July 10, 2006 Shame about your wife's sari, but at least she has this photograph to remind her of what it would look like if she wore it. Or maybe not... Excellent work as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #19 Posted July 10, 2006 Andy, the secret formula I live by is that I never enthusiastically flash pictures of other women to any woman. As my wife and this hungarian lady have many annoying manners and habits in commen - well, in this exclusive forum where we're only a few people exchanging experiences let me tell you that I make sure I only use three sentenses when spoken to: 1) Good. 2) Yes, I will do that immediately. 3) Sorry, that must have been my fault. 4) I love you too. (once a week I might add a disclaimer like) In fact, you are the only women in the world that means anything to me. I hope you never leave me. Whenever a woman I photographed say they like their photo and 'feel free to use it' I do so. And then I'm always prepared for repercussions. I think this successfull recipe is what have alowed me to reach this relatively high age (41 years) and still being allowed to enjoy a few freedoms such as having a few computers and Leicas.

dan_drabek Posted July 11, 2006 Share #20 Posted July 11, 2006 Great shot Thorsten. I first opened this one and thought it was one of Dean Bentley's. That is very high praise. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
