Two

As crazy as this sounds, I’m getting a distinct Cindy Sherman vibe from this!

Great shot!.. pleasing look.. wonder if it wouldn't work with 400 asa?

@jon koss My first thought was about Sherman as well. Great shadow placement and a splendid portrait.

Very cool image -- looks like a movie still or...something more than a picture. Simple but just works.

Great shadow. And the obligatory catch lights in her eyes. Quiet. Nice.

So the "Two" references the contrast grade. I thought something else.
It's nicely handled for what can be an awkward format for a vehicle subject. The shadow is the icing on the cake. I can't help wonder if printing down the left side would keep the eye more firmly planted on the figure. The sky on the left in particular.

@jon koss @jawarden @Colin Corneau @mfohl Thanks all I was thinkn she looked more like Laura Croft, should of taken outside the Masonic Temple. I bet Sherman wished she had a 612 camera. She was looking that way to catch the shadow profile, it was late afternoon and I noticed the soft light cast on the wall, shes actually looking east. I like the 1:2 aspect ratio, twice as good as 6x6 ha. Cinema and bill boards often work in similar ratio. @Afselius Yes sure, just have to be a little more accurate with focusing with slower film hand held, Im just guessing and stopping down to take care of focus.@artonpaper Two is the second photo of her, 120 film you only get 6 shots, messed up 2 with miss firing (damn plunger got stuck on) and one was an architectural shot, so I have one more to print. Not sure what printing down means? I think the background needs a 1/4 stop dodge, shadow a 1/4 stop burn and just a little evening up of the face, plus a little bleach on the whites of her eyes? Im an opportunist type photographer, not use to using models.

I like the lighting and upward angle.
