gipsy's look, a photo from Arges, West

Photographer's Note

She really is a strong and amazing person.
I met her in front of Curtea de Arges Monastery waiting to finish the religious service
The place was very crowded so she was sitting out on the grass.
Needed just to ask if she agree to be my model and she already posing :)

Hello Isabela
definitely a strong portrait
Effect enhanced by the choice of b&w and the tilt so as to have her full frame in the diagonal
Bravo
Best regards

Hello Isabella,you have captured the spirit of this lady very well,the direct eye contact(complete with highlight)captures the attention immediately,the use of B/W is most appropriate.
Best Regards Les

I meet some gipsy folk some years ago. I like some aspects of their culture.

Great photo with nice contrasts.

Hello Isabella,
it's amazing the details of the facial skin of the woman. The expression of the look ... I also like very concetrado. The choice of black and white was great.
Congratulations and big hug.

Hi Isabela,
I'm not really a fan of B&W photography, but this shot is an exception for me :)
first of all, I like the POV!
second, I like the composition: VERY well chosen distance from you to the gypsy.
third, you give us a chance to guess what she may be thinking about while you're shooting her portrait :)

best regards,
Elena

Isabela
Beau portrait de cette femme dont le visage "raconte" la vie. Beau noir et blanc et cadrage original "en diagonale"
Amicalement

Interesting face, with this strong glance and the wrinkles. Excellent DOF and b&w. I also like the POV choosen.

Salut Isabela!

E parca Hollywood-ian portretul asta. Am impresia ca nu e portretul acestei femei, ci portretul tiganilor, ca colectiv.

Srabatori fericite!
