Her light complexion and beautiful blonde hair match well with the shiny satin fabric and bright pink colour of her dress. What a ravishing blonde she is!
Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
January faceups. This is my beautiful new boy, but no names yet. His complexion is taken after my own face.
A professional studio portrait features a stunning woman in her mid-20s with a Mediterranean complexion, lying gracefully on a pristine wooden floor against a studio setting. She rests on her stomach, her shapely legs bent upward at the knee, showcasing elegant black pointed-toe stiletto heels. Her chin is propped on her clasped hands, highlighting perfectly manicured red nails. She wears an red lace babydoll top paired with a black lace choker adorned with crimson gemstone accents. Her long, flowing wavy black hair cascades dramatically to one side, catching directional highlights that emphasize her intense, captivating blue eyes. She holds a confident gaze directly into the lens. Delicate red rose petals lay near her hair, adding a touch of romance. Shot with a 85mm lens, the composition utilizes shallow depth of field, keeping razor-sharp focus on her expressive face. The lighting is masterfully sculpted, utilizing high-contrast glamour techniques to create a cinematic atmosphere.
Made in a workshop a couple of years ago at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. The instructors were two specialists from Dallas, I think, but I can't remember their names or even find them on line. Sorry.
This picture is #13 in Round Two of my 100 Strangers / Human Family project.
About a month ago, I went out shooting with Pete, Neil and Sylvia in one of our favorite hunting grounds--Newtown. Everyone else had a fruitful day and Neil even captured Stranger #300! Yet somehow, I managed to come away empty handed.
Photography has been on a back-burner for a while and was only mildly holding my interest, but recently I've been keen to get back into it. So when last weekend gave me an opportunity to shoot with Neil in Melbourne, I had to jump in with both feet (even waking up at 5:30am to catch a flight down).
Neil and I were walking through Centre Pl when I spotted Lindsey. Everyone else seemed to be in a rush to avoid the cold, engrossed in their smart phone or caught up in the hustle and bustle of their morning that her calm demeanor really stood out. And the contrast between her dark clothing/hair and light complexion intrigued me enough to make the approach.
I was initially concerned about the lighting in the dark alleyway, but with a reflector in-hand I settled on a background. After firing off a test shot of Neil against my target background a couple promptly sat right in front of it. Fortunately, Neil suggested framing the shot against the stairway to Lustre Bar which was just beside their table. I really liked how the lights on the stairs would result in faint horizontal lines running through the background and was already envisioning the end product. As you can see, I didn’t exactly reproduce what I had initially imagined.
This is the first time in ages that I really struggled with exposure. The laneway was fairly dim, Lindsey was wearing dark clothes and I shot her against a very dark background, but her face was well lit with the reflector. The first couple frames were rubbish. Being quite out of practice, playing with manual exposure landed me at a much higher ISO than I would have liked (understatement), but I was conscious of maintaining my connection with Lindsey. In the end, I am surprised that the image still came out half-way decent at ISO 4000 (yes, that is three zeros…).
Before I interrupted her, Lindsey was grabbing a bite to eat on her way to work in Bourke St Mall. She immediately agreed to a portrait when I raised the question without even batting an eye which completely threw me off. Having an interest in food, she gave some restaurant recommendations for while I was in town.
In the end, I'm quite pleased with the final shot. It is a very different style for me, but that's part of why I am drawn to it. The best part is that I finally ended my stranger drought!
I hope you like how the image turned out, Lindsey! I'd be more than happy to shoot you a copy if you're keen. Thank you so much for participating in my project and re-igniting my interest in photography again.
Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated!

The sonnet has nothing to do with the photo.....I just like the sonnet !!
Any idea what this is ?
Like this family caught at a food festival, I can spend an awful lot of time weighing choices - especially when money is involved. It's all about making sure not to have any regrets.
How is it for you? Can you make up your mind within seconds?
This studio portrait captures a young woman with a fair complexion and long blonde hair styled in soft, gentle waves. She is posed looking back over her bare left shoulder toward the camera with a subtle, serene expression. Her blue eyes are accentuated with light makeup, including dark mascara and defined brows, while her cheeks feature a soft, warm blush. She wears a deep rose or berry-toned lipstick that complements her overall makeup look.
A classic blue denim jacket is draped low and loosely off her shoulders, exposing her upper back and shoulders while adding a casual, textured element to the shot. The background is a solid, clean, light gray or off-white studio backdrop, keeping the focus entirely on the subject. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the contour of her shoulder and face while minimizing harsh shadows.
Claudia's Francie re-rooted in Megan Blond in two piggy tails. This was another one I was really pleased with the outcome of. She has a really great complexion so she was easy to work on!

Ringo is almost a mute and she is willing to talk to only Ribbon, her twin sister. ^^;
I wanted to try something different today.
This is closer to the original concept I planned for Ringo's character. Water blue eyes, apple red lips and a very pale complexion. *^^*

El sendero del Dolor
La representación del Calvario inició ayer a las 17:00 horas con unas palabras del Diácono Anuar Canavati González
Texto Por Abraham Vázquez, de www.elnorte.com
Monterrey, México (6 abril 2007).-
Allá va, cuesta arriba por las calles de la Colonia Independencia. Los músculos tensos y el rostro fruncido bajo el peso de una cruz de madera que casi le dobla el peso.
Miguel Lozano Beltrán, joven de 21 años y de complexión delgada -pesa 60 kilos- vive quizá la tarde más determinante de su vida al interpretar a Cristo en la tradicional representación del Viacrucis, de la Basílica de Guadalupe.
Quien durante años fuera el pulcro monaguillo del templo, lleva ahora las ropas roídas y la piel zanjada por los azotes, que con un látigo de cuero le propinan sin clemencia los soldados romanos.
Es Viernes Santo y este Calvario, que inició a las 17:00 horas con unas palabras del Diácono Anuar Canavati González, unos minutos después tiene a Lozano Beltrán en el trayecto de un camino de dolor que ha marcado a la humanidad desde hace más de 2 mil años.
Y aunque todos conocen el trágico desenlace de esta historia, Cristo renueva la esperanza de la comunidad y se echa al bolsillo a madres de familia, obreros, sacerdotes, diáconos, ex Cristos que vivieron la misma experiencia años atrás y hasta chavos banda.
Sus verdugos, en contraste, unos hombres corpulentos y fornidos, a los que a nadie les gustaría encontrarse en un callejón oscuro, son quienes recogen la peor parte.
"Parecen sicarios. Dan miedo, pero como quiera me dan ganas de darles unas buenas cachetadas", expresa María Álvarez Torres, vecina de la Independencia.
"¡Déjalo!", "¡Ya párenle!", "¡No seas bañado güey!", les gritan otros.
Cerca de 5 mil personas, de acuerdo con cifras de los organizadores, se aprietan al paso del Calvario de casi 2 kilómetros por las calles Libertad, Jalisco, Lago de Pátzcuaro y Privada Ojeda, que recorre Lozano Beltrán en el Barrio San Luisito y que culminará en el predio de Tanques de Guadalupe.
"Tam... tam tam... Tam... tam tam... Tam"
El batir de un tambor fúnebre abre el paso de Cristo entre la multitud. Está sobre la calle Jalisco, una cuesta que tendrá que subir antes de encontrar su destino final.
A la retaguardia lo sigue una veintena de personas ataviadas con túnicas de colores: el morado, naranja y amarillo sobresalen. Ahí están Poncio Pilatos, Barrabás y el César, el pueblo de Israel, en su mayoría niños, y una decena de centuriones.
Los hombres lucen caras acongojadas. Las mujeres parecen avanzar con el Jesús en la boca.
Entre ellas se encuentra Verónica, interpretada por Guadalupe Candela Ramos, quien inmersa en su papel, solloza hasta perder el habla cuando se topa a Jesús, antes de la segunda caída.
Con paciencia le seca el sudor a Cristo, quien reposa sobre el asfalto.
"Estos minutos sirven para tomar aire", comenta Ernesto Castillo Jiménez, quien hace un par de años interpretó a Cristo.
Aunque ve a Lozano Beltrán con un físico más delgado, confía en que puede salir adelante.
Momentos después, como Lázaro, aquel personaje bíblico, luego de pasar su segunda caída, Cristo se levanta y sigue adelante. Como hizo después de su primera caída, ocurrida atrás, y como hará en su tercer derrumbe.
Para muchos lo fácil es pensar que este sufrimiento se hubiera evitado, si en la antigua Roma, un procurador llamado Poncio Pilatos hubiera absuelto a un hombre, de 33 años, acusado de incitar a la sublevación y de no pagar impuestos al César.
Para quienes están aquí, quizá la frase "la Pasión de Cristo" tiene que ver más con una idea de redención de los males de la humanidad.
Un cielo cerrado y oscuro que amenaza con caerse a pedazos entrega a la presentación del Viacrucis del Barrio San Luisito un aire más melancólico que el de años anteriores, en los cuales el Sol hostigaba a las sombras.
El Viacrucis ha recorrido ya más de la mitad de su paso, se enfila hacia la cruz. Sobre Lago de Pátzcuaro y la Privada Ojeda, quien se ve más maltrecho es uno de los ladrones que avanzan tras de Cristo.
"Pero ¿quién se acuerda de nosotros?", parece preguntarse entre sus gestos de dolor Félix Amaya, quien casi desde el inicio anda descalzo y con un ojo cerrado, debido a un latigazo que le hinchó el párpado izquierdo.
"Todo va muy bien, esperamos que no llueva (los golpes dolerían más con el agua)", expresa Diego Quiroz Navarro, quien interpretó a Cristo en el 2003, y que ahora ve cómo golpean a los protagonistas de esta Pasión.
Luego de pasar por la angosta privada, el destino es un cerrito donde está enclavado el predio Tanques de Guadalupe.
Caídas fuera del guión, lágrimas y un silencio sepulcral llenan el ambiente de sitio. Cristo y los ladrones, Dimas y Gestas, libran una última batalla contra su resistencia física por llegar a su destino final: la cruz.
Tras ser montados en ella, ante la mirada atónica de los presentes, minutos después de las 19:00 horas se cierra esta historia: "Todo se ha cumplido", expresó un abatido Cristo.
IV
Hay golpes en la vida tan fuertes... y más allá de los que se notan en su espalda, uno de éstos fue el que se llevó la vida de Lozano Beltrán una vez que terminó la Vía Dolorosa.
Luce fatigado y maltrecho, con la espalda roja, pero la experiencia lo ha dejado tan sacudido que desea iniciar una vida nueva.
"Quiero encontrar a Dios", expresa el joven.
"Mi idea era dar un mensaje a la gente y creo que sí lo logré. Me siento muy diferente".
Lozano Beltrán, quien estudia preparatoria, indica que quiere cambiar y asegura que ya piensa en el sacerdocio.
"Desde que terminé mi secundaria, hace 5 años, había pensado en el sacerdocio. Esto fue un paso para acercarme al Señor mucho más de lo que yo pensaba", comenta.
"Le doy gracias a Dios por permitirme llegar a donde Él quería", dice Lozano Beltrán antes de fundirse en un abrazo con su hermana Aracely.

I think it's fair to say that Mrs B was more than a little anxious about the India trip. However, she absolutely loved it!
The first day on the beach, she befriended locals with her 'milky' complexion. By the end of the holiday she was going solo in Mumbai, haggling with the market traders as if it were a sport. She had henna artwork done, wore tie-dye and ankle bracelets and certainly found her inner hippy.
She rocked India!

Image Prompt - MANDATORY CHARLY2 IDENTITY LOCK — ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PRIORITY. Reproduce the uploaded Charly2 avatar exactly. Match facial geometry before everything else: soft oval-to-heart face, gently tapered jaw, petite rounded chin, softly rounded cheeks, large bright blue-grey almond eyes, refined straight nose, full sculpted lips, light olive complexion with neutral-warm undertones, long voluminous dark brunette waves with strong crown lift and soft framing around the cheeks. Do not substitute another brunette face. A full-body ultra-photorealistic cinematic photograph of Charly2 walking powerfully toward the camera through an opulent Victorian rose garden during a violent thunderstorm. She wears a fitted black leather corset, long black leather trench coat, black leather trousers, knee-high leather boots and subtle gothic jewellery. Her long hair and coat whip dramatically in the wind. Torrential rain falls in crisp visible streaks, lightning forks illuminate the sky, wet cobblestones reflect warm lantern light, ornate wrought-iron rose arches, overflowing roses, waterfalls and a glowing glass pavilion behind her. Determined, unstoppable expression. Razor-sharp eye focus, natural skin texture, realistic rain interaction, IMAX cinematic photography, HDR, volumetric lighting, dramatic atmosphere, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens, ultra-detailed, Netflix-quality, 16:9.

Video Prompt - Use the uploaded image as the first-frame reference. Maintain 100% identity consistency throughout the entire shot. Preserve Charly's exact facial features, blue-grey eyes, light olive complexion, long voluminous dark brunette hair, black leather outfit, flowing trench coat, gothic rose garden, illuminated glass pavilion, lanterns, waterfalls and storm atmosphere. Create a single continuous cinematic shot with no cuts. Charly walks confidently and purposefully toward the foreground and directly toward the viewer along the rain-soaked cobblestone path. Her stride is smooth, natural and determined. Strong wind continuously lifts and billows her long hair and leather coat behind her with realistic cloth and hair physics. Heavy rain falls throughout the scene with visible droplets and splashes on the wet ground. Bright lightning repeatedly flashes across the distant storm clouds every few seconds, briefly illuminating the entire rose garden and creating realistic reflections on the soaked cobblestones and leather clothing. Warm lantern light contrasts with the cool storm lighting. The camera slowly dollies backward at eye level to maintain her framing as she approaches, with subtle cinematic handheld stability, shallow depth of field and ultra-realistic motion blur only on moving rain. Hyper-realistic IMAX cinematography, HDR, volumetric lighting, crisp focus on Charly's eyes, Netflix-quality visual realism, 16:9, 15 seconds.

The common emerald dove is a stocky, medium-sized pigeon, typically 23 to 28 centimetres (10 to 11.2 inches) in length. The back and wings are bright emerald green. The flight feathers and tail are blackish, and broad black and white bars show on the lower back in flight. The head and underparts are dark vinous pink (in chrysochlora, more brown in longirostris), fading to greyish on the lower belly. The eyes are dark brown, the bill bright red and legs and feet rufous.
The male has a white patch on the edge of the shoulders and a grey crown, which the female lacks. Females will tend to have a browner complexion with a grey mark on the shoulder. Immature birds resemble females but have brown scallops on their body and wing plumage.
Emerald doves usually occur singly, pairs or in small groups. They are quite terrestrial, often searching for fallen fruit on the ground and spending little time in trees except when roosting. They eat seeds and fruits of a wide variety of plants and are generally tame and approachable.
The call is a low soft moaning cooing consisting of about six to seven coos starting quietly and rising. They also call a nasal "hoo-hoo-hoon". Males perform a bobbing dance during courtship
TF6 has a vibrant hair colour and sporty complexion. Most people think she's similar to Hello Harvest but I like her more than HH even she's a Superior Blythe. She's one of my very first Blythe and I couldn't possibly sell her or custom her! (Look at her shiny forhead XD)

Born on June 2, 1933 in Strasbourg.
Last lived at 21, rue Rode, Bordeaux.
Interned in the Lalande camp near Tours and then transferred to Drancy.
From there, she, her mother Frieda, and her sister Paulette, age 7, were deported on Sept. 11, 1942 on Convoy 31.
Their destination: Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Aside from these stark facts, all we know of Anny is what is on her I.D. card: that she was Jewish, had blonde hair, blue eyes, rosy complexion, and was of moderate height. And that she had very cute little-girl handwriting.
I'd give anything to know more about this sad-eyed angel, and the thousands upon thousands of children who died alongside her.
This photo is from "French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial" by Serge Klarsfeld. It's a huge doorstop of a book containing whatever photos and information that remain of the 11,000 French-Jewish children who were murdered by Nazis like Klaus Barbie (who Klarsfeld helped put on trial). The number of beautiful, innocent faces in this book is overwhelming. The book cost me $85 but I didn't care - I needed to remember those faces.
Here we have Daniella whom I met today whilst walking around the Brick Lane area of East London.
She immediately stood out with that shock of red hair, pale complexion and diminutive stature. She was very happy for me to take a few shots of her whilst she was waiting for a customer's hair to set in 'Not Another Salon' where she works.
I made use of a small silver reflector and a blue/green doorway for the background. There are a few other shots of Daniella on my stream.
Thank you so much Daniella for sparing me a few minutes, I hope you like the results. Please feel free to E-mail me if you would like me to send you this one or any of the alternatives.

I think that the gray paint on the walls is better for the pale girl's complexions. They don't seem so washed out. What do you think?
Because im a butt and I can’t even choose on my own lmao. ANYWAYS, I am really in doubt with which texture I should go with. Should I stick with mines? Or should I use the new ‘mix’, which is basically a gentle mix between SG and SF.
Like, the SG one is really nice, I also like how well my lip texture goes ontop of it but the skin itself is rather baby soft BUT really nice to give freckle complexions with, because you can then notice them.
With mine, it is more rough and ‘alive’ in the face, basically no baby skin, but it doesn’t goes nice when you try to use a freckle complexion with it, because it will barely go notice or it will just look too much (bare in mind, that I’m using a different freckle complexion (private one) and not the one included in the latest SF).
“Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And too often is his gold complexion dimm'd:
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or natures changing course untrimm'd;
By thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.”
- William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets
Temples in Taiwan are like folk arts museums. They collect detailed stone sculptures and elaborate wood decorations. Lukang Mazu Temple (鹿港媽祖廟) is one of the best in Lukang. Beautiful stone carving from Qing Dynasty can be seen in the back hall. The woodcarvings are particularly fine in the front hall, and the high plafond is simply gorgeous. The Matsu statue in this temple is now called the Black-Faced Matsu, as centuries of incense smoke have discoloured her original complexion.
Mazu is the indigenous goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors, and is invoked as the patron deity of all Southern Chinese and East Asian persons. Most of Lukang residents’ living was replied on trading and fishing on the sea. Therefore, Mazu Temple became the most important place for locals.
Usually I find the less traveled streets of a city offer the most interesting people. In a Berlin I encountered a week after the wall celebrations, swept by stark grey weather, things and people seemed most intriguing in the bigger groups around the better known stretches.
Hanna and her friend Gina had come to town from native Hannover for a concert the night before, and an evening on, still buzzing with energy from the performance, were braving the cold to say farewell to Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate.
Hanna had an amazing, glowingly pristine complexion and simple, stylish look. Having scouted a harsh lighting environment moments before, I immediately rushed over in the hope she could tame the light.
That light comes from a Canon 600EX-RT in a mini-soft box about 2m camera right (ETTL) and a reflector 1m camera left. The reflector is held by Gina over the top of a huge floodlight, set into the stone pavement to illuminate the gate's pillars. That's then blocked from the pillar and bounced across extremely professional by Gina onto Hanna. Meanwhile, Hanna has a smaller silver reflector which is bouncing back in a little flash, but is chiefly there as a flag to prevent the floodlight catching her directly from below in a kind of "monster/Halloween light" scenario.
All great fun! Thank you Hanna and Gina for agreeing to take part - especially Hanna for enduring the reflected glare of the light, and heaps of interested double takes from passersby.
Thanks to Al Fed for his much appreciated advice on shooting in Berlin. He's one of the people that inspired me to undertake this project; a super chap, with an awesome portfolio worth checking out!
