Advertisement Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Hi benqui, Take a look here Mirror. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Suuumm55 Posted September 28, 2023 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2023 Hello Marc, the hairbrush would be better placed a little lower and it should rest in the entire hand (it's good that the lady doesn't have long fingernails......) or maybe leave it out completely....? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cantor Posted September 28, 2023 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2023 Just a personal opinion, I would prefer the portrait without the brush or the hand, the rest of the ‘equipment’ is enough to tell the story. I imagine that it was tricky not to include yourself Marc? David 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I do not need any hairbrush with my „hair“. Let me tell you why to me the hairbrush is an important tool for me in this photo. I haven chosen the photo because of her straight and direct eye contact to the viewer and the different layers in the composition: first the make up utensil (I hope this is the right word) which is mirrored, then the woman with the light bulbs, behind her the table and the stairs. Since there are so many make up utensil on the table, I found it suitable that she has a hairbrush in her hands. It was not my aim to make it as realistic as possible, for me was her face the most important part. It could also be interpreted that she was disturbed while brushing her her, stopped it and looked into the mirror to see what is going on. You see, many possibilities to interpret the scenery. But thanks a lot again, it is always very helpful to look at the photo under very different aspects! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just explained why I have chosen the brush, maybe i will find one without as a comparison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted September 28, 2023 Share #14 Posted September 28, 2023 I also like #8, but for a different reason than what has been discussed. I think for the setting, direct eye contact is not so good. I much prefer the shot where she is looking at herself in the mirror. Cheers, Brent 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
