**🎬 Prompt :**
Portrait cinématographique hyperréaliste d’une femme mystérieuse dans une mégalopole futuriste nocturne, inspirée d’un univers cyberpunk. La scène se déroule sous une pluie fine, avec des reflets néon multicolores (bleu électrique, magenta, violet, cyan) se diffusant sur les surfaces mouillées de la ville.
Le visage de la femme est partiellement couvert par ses cheveux longs et fluides, transformés en filaments lumineux ressemblant à des fibres optiques ou à des nébuleuses galactiques, traversés par des éclats d’énergie et des particules scintillantes. Ses lèvres sont intensément colorées (violet profond), parfaitement détaillées, avec une texture réaliste.
Des traces de peinture liquide et de lumière semblent couler sur son visage, fusionnant maquillage artistique et effets énergétiques abstraits. Sa peau présente une texture ultra détaillée (pores, micro-reflets, humidité).
Elle tient délicatement sa main près de son menton, posture élégante et introspective. Son regard est caché, renforçant une aura énigmatique.
En arrière-plan : une rue urbaine dense, floue avec un effet bokeh cinématographique, remplie de panneaux lumineux asiatiques, câbles suspendus, lumières diffuses, atmosphère humide et brumeuse.
Éclairage dramatique : mélange de lumières néon et d’un éclairage doux directionnel créant des contrastes profonds et des reflets spectaculaires.
Style visuel :
ultra-détaillé, 8K, photoréalisme extrême, profondeur de champ réduite, rendu HDR, éclairage volumétrique, esthétique cyberpunk, ambiance Blade Runner, Unreal Engine, Octane Render.
Ambiance : poétique, électrique, mélancolique, futuriste.

**🎬 Prompt:**
Hyper-realistic cinematic portrait of a mysterious woman in a futuristic megacity at night, inspired by a cyberpunk universe. The scene unfolds under a light rain, with multicolored neon reflections (electric blue, magenta, violet, cyan) diffusing across wet urban surfaces.
The woman’s face is partially obscured by her long, flowing hair, transformed into luminous strands resembling fiber optics or cosmic nebulae, threaded with bursts of energy and sparkling particles. Her lips are intensely colored (deep violet), highly detailed with realistic texture.
Liquid paint and light appear to drip across her face, blending artistic makeup with abstract energy effects. Her skin shows ultra-detailed texture (pores, micro-reflections, subtle moisture).
She gently holds her hand near her chin, an elegant and introspective pose. Her eyes remain hidden, enhancing an enigmatic aura.
In the background: a dense urban street rendered in cinematic bokeh, filled with glowing Asian signage, hanging cables, diffused lights, and a humid, misty atmosphere.
Lighting: dramatic interplay of neon lights and soft directional illumination, creating deep contrast and striking reflections.
Visual style:
ultra-detailed, 8K resolution, extreme photorealism, shallow depth of field, HDR rendering, volumetric lighting, cyberpunk aesthetic, Blade Runner atmosphere, Unreal Engine, Octane Render.
Mood: poetic, electric, melancholic, futuristic.

Sorry if I can't respond next days, I have some breath problems, thanks to all for your comments and really sorry 💕
I'm amazed I managed to rally in time to get this shot done today before Lost tonight. Let me back up. I went to Urgent Care this morning to get my leg checked out since I still can't walk. Turns out I tore my calf muscle and fascia in my right leg. The good news is that I didn't rupture my achilles tendon, so I won't need surgery. The bad news is that it's going to be 4-6 weeks before I can even think about running, jumping, playing soccer, or anything else that I actually want to do with my leg. But I'm thankful because it could be worse. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Anyway, the doctor gave me a prescription for Percocet to help with the pain. I had some issues with nausea when I took Vicodin a few years back, so he thought Percocet would be a good alternative.
WRONG!
About forty-five minutes after taking it, I hit a brick wall of nausea and was completely laid up for the rest of the afternoon, petrified that I was going to throw up. Did I mention that I do NOT throw up? I do everything in my power to avoid it at all costs, no matter what. Even when I know I will feel better afterwards. No thank you. Anyway, today sucked. That's pretty much the point of the story. But I managed to get this shot off for this week's Emulation Challenge in My Face is My Canvas. Can you believe this is our 25th week of emulation challenges??? If you haven't already checked out the group and you have even the slightest interest in face art photography, you owe it to yourself to stop by. And for those of you who haven't played in a while...hey, we miss you! ;)
Ok, time to watch the rest of last week's Lost in preparation for tonight's episode. Michelle and Daynna, prepare for the onslaught of texts and BBMs.

**Prompt :**
Gros plan cinématographique ultra détaillé d’un visage féminin au réalisme saisissant, éclairage doux et diffus de type studio, peau porcelaine parsemée de légères taches de rousseur naturelles, texture de peau visible avec micro-détails (pores, reflets subtils, imperfections authentiques). Regard intense et hypnotique, yeux iridescents aux teintes turquoise et violet, avec reflets lumineux complexes simulant une profondeur presque surnaturelle, pupilles nettes, humidité oculaire réaliste.
Chevelure longue et volumineuse séparée en deux teintes distinctes : côté gauche rose pastel dégradé vers un rose plus saturé, côté droit bleu cyan évoluant vers un bleu profond, fibres capillaires finement détaillées, mèches légèrement en mouvement comme animées par une brise imperceptible. Éclairage colorimétrique contrasté renforçant la dualité chromatique, avec rim light subtil sur les contours des cheveux.
Maquillage artistique mais crédible : fard à paupières vibrant assorti aux cheveux, dégradés complexes, eyeliner précis, mascara détaillant chaque cil, lèvres légèrement brillantes avec texture humide réaliste. Expression neutre mais captivante, entre douceur et mystère.
Accessoire : collier métallique avec chaîne épaisse et plaque type militaire, rendu métallique réaliste avec micro-rayures, réflexion HDR environnementale.
Arrière-plan flou (bokeh) gris neutre, profondeur de champ très faible (objectif 85mm f/1.4), mise au point chirurgicale sur les yeux. Color grading cinématographique, style photographie éditoriale haut de gamme, rendu 8K, ultra net, global illumination, subsurface scattering sur la peau, rendu photoréaliste proche d’un portrait capturé avec une caméra plein format.
Ambiance visuelle : mélange de mode contemporaine et d’esthétique néo-fantastique, équilibre entre réalisme brut et aura presque irréelle.

**Prompt:**
Ultra-detailed cinematic close-up of a female face with striking hyperrealism, soft diffused studio lighting, porcelain skin with subtle natural freckles, visible skin texture including pores, fine highlights, and authentic imperfections. Intense, mesmerizing gaze, iridescent eyes blending turquoise and violet tones, with complex light reflections creating an almost supernatural depth, sharp pupils, realistic eye moisture.
Long, voluminous hair split into two distinct tones: left side in pastel pink transitioning into a richer pink, right side in cyan evolving into deep blue. Individual hair strands finely rendered, slight natural movement as if touched by a gentle breeze. Color-contrasting lighting enhancing the dual-tone effect, subtle rim light outlining the hair.
Artistic yet believable makeup: vibrant eyeshadow matching the hair tones with smooth gradients, precise eyeliner, defined lashes with high-detail mascara, slightly glossy lips with realistic moisture texture. Neutral yet captivating expression, balancing softness and mystery.
Accessory: metallic chain necklace with a military-style dog tag, highly realistic material rendering with micro-scratches and HDR environmental reflections.
Background softly blurred with neutral gray bokeh, very shallow depth of field (85mm lens, f/1.4), razor-sharp focus on the eyes. Cinematic color grading, high-end editorial photography style, 8K resolution, ultra-sharp, global illumination, subsurface scattering on skin, photorealistic rendering comparable to a full-frame camera capture.
Visual mood: fusion of contemporary fashion and neo-fantasy aesthetic, balancing raw realism with an almost otherworldly aura.

So our emulation challenge this week in My Face is My Canvas can be classified as "fantasy." The inspiration picture felt like it embodied fire, and I was feeling more airy today. So I went softer. Haven't done some serious face art in a while, so I had fun with this today.
Now that I'm done processing my pictures, I can focus on what's really important: tonight's season premiere of Lost!!! Dying in anticipation! I can't believe we're already starting the final season. I want to cry. I can still remember watching the very first episode on the first day it aired, alone in my condo, and freaking the fark out! Tonight's episode is guaranteed to blow my mind. And I love me some good, mind-blowing television. :) The best part? I get to watch the premiere a full three hours before Daynna!! I might have to torture her with texts throughout the entire premiere...

My Face is My Canvas: Emulation #20
Musically Challenged: Andrew Bird - Lull
Model - Shaun
My good friend Shaun was nice enough to model for me last night. He had a great German military sweater in his closet and even though it was hot as hell, I thought this would fit best for the look I wanted. There's actually another shot I want to post in a few days, expect something new from this shoot. :}
Ya hace unos meses desde que realicé esta fotografía que me encanta pero hasta ahora no me había puesto a dejarla "en bonito" para enseñarla. Pero me ha surgido una oportunidad de volver a hacer fotos similares y me ha parecido una buena oportunidad de sacarla a la luz. Espero que os guste
Ok, I definitely didn't miss working. But luckily I managed to accomplish a lot today by starting early. So I have some downtime now. Andy's got a rump roast in the oven, so there'll be some good eating soon too. Holler!
I rarely, if ever, use textures, so I'm not sure how I feel about this processing. Cool or sucky?
My Face is My Canvas: Emulation #69 - False Face
I didn't use this picture a long time ago, because I didn't like two things.
The background.
and the light.
I didn't know what I was doing.
Wait....I STILL don't know what I am doing.
I relooked at the pictures and just couldn't resist posting this because she has such a wonderful smile going on.
My family is beautiful.
It makes me sick, since I apparently didn't get ANY pretty genes.
This is the last one I'm working on from this series, promise. Couldn't help myself though, this is what I do on a Saturday night. Drink some cider, play with Photoshop and enjoy design.
Random thought - If your wondering why I'm posting these, "random thoughts" it's so I can try and open up a little more. I do have words to share, just give me time. These thoughts are purely random.
Music I'm listening to - The Knife. There is one song in particular that I keep playing over and over, "We Share Our Mothers' Health". Love it. Does anyone else repeat a song till it's stamped in your brain?
**EXPLORED**
Ok, I played with the editing some more on this alterate and wound up loving how ridiculously silly it looks. So this one is going to be my "non-selfie" 365 shot for today, even though it's a selfie. It's not the same shot as the other one, so bite it! ;)
TOTW: Drawn On
My newest work and one I've been waiting to do for WEEKS!
Sorry, I've been a slow ass on photos lately. But hopefully this makes up for my tardiness.

This is my submission for round 5 of the Flickr 64 photo competition. I'm up against the extremely talented suz or sooze this round, so it's going to be a tough match up. Check out her stream and check out the challenge pool.
You grasp the bark by a rugged pleat,
And look up small from the forest's feet.
The only leaf it drops goes wide,
Your name not written on either side.

365 Days (self portraits): Day 45
Jenna Luoma’s makeup turns Alesia’s face into a living canvas. Fine black lines travel across the skin like hand-drawn symbols, framing the eyes and giving the portrait an almost ritual presence. Coral and crimson tones burn through the gaze, while pale blossoms rise above them like a fragile crown. The contrast between precise geometry and soft petals makes the look feel both fierce and delicate — somewhere between mask, sculpture, and character.

Silver and purple shimmer across Aino Ilvesniemi’s face, where Betty Applepie shaped the Fashion Circus theme into a Dragon Skull Punk. Created on the second day of the competition, the makeup feels like a creature stepping out from beneath the circus lights, part armor, part myth, part rebellion.
Metallic contours trace the bones of an imagined dragon, while purple tones soften the steel with something dreamlike. It is a beautiful transformation, fierce and theatrical, yet held together by the quiet precision of every painted detail.

processing by Kellie
I am SO thrilled with the processing Kellie did on this shot. This was an outtake from my recent bejeweled mask shots, sans mask. This has such a soft, dreamy feel to it. I think the processing added a lot of mystery to the shot. Very nicely done, Kellie!

Had some time to play around today. Freaked my dad out with this get up. My mom came upstairs and told me I looked pretty. Um... ok?
So I've decided not to run the 5k today. Obviously since it starts in about five minutes. It's just too damn cold. It's 28 degrees outside right now and I have no desire whatsoever to run in that.
It was a toss-up between this one and the first outtake in the comments.

I spent the first half of today procrastinating because I so did not want to do anything but lie on the couch and relax. The second half of the day was spent cleaning madly at the lake house in preparation for some very cool people who are coming to visit next weekend. I don't think we cleaned the cottage this well even earlier this summer when the whole family came out for the 4th of July. I wish I didn't have to wait until Friday for the fun to start. I'm ready now!
This was a pretty quick shoot tonight, but I was really happy with the way it turned out. I had a hard time deciding which of these I liked the best, so I'll put the other contenders in the comments as usual to drive Tara crazy so that you guys can tell me which is your favorite.

I know it's not polite to toot your own horn, but holy hell do I ever love the way today's shots turned out! I was totally inspired by this shot, and knew I wanted to do my own version with blues instead of pinks. Of course, in post processing I wound up falling in love with this shot, which is decidedly more muted. Whatever. Don't you just love those days where shoots go even better than expected and you totally feel like you rocked it out? This is one of those days for me. So let me enjoy it!! Ha!
That said, there were a bunch of outtakes that I really liked too, so I'm posting them in the comments. Let me know what you think of them. And as a side note, when I started my self portrait 365 project, I wasn't sure I could handle it. I mean, I'm self conscious of the way I look and usually hate pictures of me. So how was I going to do a whole year of it, right? But what I've discovered in the course of doing these daily self portraits, is that I love the way I can totally transform my look for different shots. Wigs, makeup, angles, processing...it's become this total obsession of mine. I love making myself look like somebody else, while still retaining the bits of me that I love. This shot is such a good example of that.
Ok, I'll stop rambling about how much I love these shots. Ha. If you read this far, you must really like me a lot! ;)

This portrait came from the Nordic Awards in Helsinki, where craft and imagination met in one quiet frame. The gold shape, the shimmer around the eyes, the pearls, the flowers.

I finally got some motivation tonight! Simple plan - messy hair, added hair extentions to the shoulders and some crazy make-up and there you have it. For some reason this shot reminds me of Parker Posey in that Blade movie. I love her but she was really bad in that movie. I think it was the overall look to the shot that made me feel that way. side note - I have a few other photos from these series that I might post but this was by far my favorite.
cheers -
Random thought - In the fall I'm taking some photography classes, can't wait.

Nothing like a killer emulation challenge in My Face is My Canvas during the last few days of my 365 to get the creative juices flowing. And it also got me to thinking about how much my style has changed in terms of processing. I mean, when I started my 365, I did little to no processing. That soon gave way to my overly-processed so you can tell I did something to this shot phase. Some of those turned out alright, but admittedly, looking back on a lot of those makes me cringe now. And it's not that I really stopped processing my shots in any dramatic way. I didn't. I just changed the way in which I attacked my processing. I started treating each photo like a unique work of art in itself. I don't use the same preset or set of actions from shot to shot. I let every shot speak to me and spend time tweaking so many settings that by the end, I have no idea how I got to my end result. I highly recommend anyone who isn't already playing around like this to experiment. Try adjusting different levels. Go for a drastically different look from day to day. It helps to break up the monotony of taking and posting a self portrait every single day. And you just might learn something along the way. :)
Only two days left...
