A striking studio portrait capturing the powerful presence and determination of a young female athlete. Posing confidently against a minimalist, neutral gray backdrop, she holds her boxing-gloved hands above her head, framing her focused expression. She is wearing a vibrant orange ribbed halter crop top paired with black Nike athletic compression shorts, highlighting her fit and toned physique. The dramatic studio lighting creates deep shadows and bright highlights, accentuating the contours of her muscles and the texture of her gear. This image perfectly blends athletic intensity with clean, professional portrait photography, making a bold statement about strength, fitness, and modern female empowerment.

Oman is a stunning place to visit with lot of beautiful nature to see. I was also lucky to experience wonderful strong storm just before sunset. I just had to find some point of interest to make it work even more. This tree/bush worked just fine.

A patch of strong sunshine provides some brief foreground and middle distance lighting, but Cronkley Scar and Widdybank Fell are about to disappear as the next powerful squall comes in. Taken from the top of Harthope Bank under a wild sky on an extremely blustery morning.
First shoot with my Canon 7D.... natural light with a single reflector which, if I remember correctly, my model was holding herself haha...

There is a moment, just before a person speaks, where the truth sits unguarded in their eyes. In this portrait, wrapped in the red weight of his own thoughts, he looks out with the quiet strength of someone learning how to carry both softness and storm. The shadows hold his questions, the light holds his resolve. This is a study of stillness, vulnerability, and the quiet fire that lives in every young soul learning to face the world. A dark and moody portrait shaped by emotion, memory, and the art of looking deeper.
Hi flickr!
It's been awhile! The move went well, I'll post a few pictures in the comments of Garry and me I took sometime last week. I'm loving my life here so far...of course I could use a few more friends and a job but I know those things will come with time. For now I'm happy to have Garry and enjoy the simple things in life :)
I actually wasn't planning on doing a picture anytime soon...the apartment isn't that big and I still don't know the layout of the land very well here. But I signed into flickr this evening for the first time in awhile and saw a request from getty images and I also got an email from Brooke Shaden...both of which inspired me to think of SOMETHING.
And it just began with the make up and took off from there. I'm actually quite pleased with how this one turned out...which is rare lol especially when I do something so on the whim as this.
I'll probably be doing more sometime soon...perhaps something that features Garry and myself? We'll see...for now, enjoy our quarky silliness.

Active Assignment Weekly Nov. 8 - 15: Dramatic Lighting
WIT: I wanted to do a shot of me looking out the window, looking for scary beings while keeping the inside dark so they wouldn't come in. I took this late at night, so the room would be totally dark. Since the light coming from outside would not be strong enough, I had a LED flashlight reflecting on my eye below my cheek. It was hard to get the angle of the eye right and still get what looks like a facial profile, since my eyes are so flat on my face, haha! I also had a small halogen table lamp on the floor facing slightly up to light the window frame a little bit. In Photoshop I brightened the eye and desaturated a bit to get a more eerie atmosphere.
In a chamber of velvet shadows and golden lamplight, she sits poised at her desk, a vision of aristocratic grace. Her strapless gown, crimson embroidered with intricate patterns, cascades into folds of satin where a blue accent gleams like twilight caught in fabric. Her hair, swept into an elegant updo, frames a face lit by quiet resolve and timeless beauty. Around her, the room whispers of history—green curtains, framed photographs, and a cityscape beyond the window. This is not merely a portrait, but a tableau of sovereignty and memory, where fashion, architecture, and presence converge into legend.
“The Lady of Crimson and Sapphire”
She leans upon the desk of memory,
her gown a river of fire
crossed by a single ribbon of twilight blue.
The lamp burns low,
but her presence is the brighter flame,
casting shadows that bow
to the sovereignty of her silence.
Photographs murmur on the desk,
ghosts of lineage and legacy,
while beyond the window
the city exhales its dusk.
She is not merely adorned—
she is enthroned,
her posture a decree,
her gaze a covenant.
In her stillness,
time itself bends,
and we, who behold her,
become pilgrims of her radiance,
carrying away fragments of crimson and sapphire
to kindle our own darkened rooms.

Part of the parish of Thorpe, Lower Teesdale lit up during a bright interval. Cross Fell, the highest point in the pennines visible though the haze on the horizon.
Such an exiting session today at Plymouth College of Art - PCA during my third photography course session with Gentleman Jamie House. We've learned how to use off camera flash using some really clever and versatile portable studio lighting. Here's the result.
In a chamber of deep green walls and velvet drapery, she emerges as both muse and monarch. Her satin gown, plunging and adorned with a jeweled brooch, gleams like a living emerald against the warmth of the lamp’s glow. Red hair cascades in waves, catching the light like fire braided with silk. The dangling earrings, the bold lips, the gaze that pierces through shadow—all conspire to create a portrait of timeless glamour. This is not merely fashion, but a ritual of presence: a sovereign enthroned in light and shadow, where elegance becomes myth.
“The Lady of Velvet Shadows”
She is not seated—
she is enthroned,
the lamp’s warm fire
a crown upon her hair of flame.
Her gown is a river of emerald night,
gathered at the heart
by a jewel that remembers
the weight of kingdoms.
The curtains lean closer,
the walls hold their breath,
even the roses in their vase
seem to bow toward her silence.
Her gaze is not invitation,
but decree—
a sovereign’s command
wrapped in the softness of satin.
And we, who linger in her light,
are pilgrims of her presence,
carrying away fragments of emerald and fire
to kindle our own shadows
with her remembered radiance.
A landscape view of the view of Leather Tor from Sharpitor. Much that I like the orientation of this one, the sun wasn't lighting up Leather Tor when I took it, which is a little frustrating. Wait as I might it never came back either. I know that this is a pretty standard view from here but I like it.

Some extraordinary and rapidly changing lighting conditions as very brief periods during which the sun almost breaks through the cloud cover create a dramatic view up the dale. Additionally, this shaft of direct sunlight hit Widdybank Fell in the far distance for just a few seconds. High Force Hotel in front of the conifer plantation left, East Friars farm centre. Taken from Stable Edge above Newbiggin.

Haha! This photo shoot was interesting cause Chris is just a good friend of mine and he was getting some portfolio photographs taken by me when I asked him to help me with an assignment. It didn't come out exactly as I had planned but it worked out well.
So, yes folks that is me and yes my hair is lighter now and only getting lighter. :)
I got the idea from a photographer off deviant art, I'll have to find the link again and credit them. :)
Prestigieuse civilisation du Nubie, héritière culturelle des fameux pharaons noirs de la XXVème dynastie d'Égypte, Méroé prospéra du IIIéme siècle avant J.C.au IVème siècle de notre ère. L'économie de Méroe était basée sur une riche agriculture et sur l'industrie du fer mais surtout sur le commerce caravanier entre Afrique Noire et monde méditerranéen et le commerce des esclaves. Les pyramides de Meroe, beaucoup plus pentues que celles de l'Egypte dont elles perpétuent le modèle, leur sont aussi très postérieures dans le temps

Evening descent from the mountains. The sun is already hiding behind the ridges, throwing the valley into shadow — but the majestic peak still basks in golden light. A fleeting, magical moment between day and night.

Some portraits do not soften themselves for the viewer.
This black-and-white child portrait holds its power in stillness. The face rises quietly from the dark, not bright enough to feel exposed, not hidden enough to disappear. The eyes are the centre of everything. They carry a small gravity, a seriousness that feels almost too old for the moment, yet still unmistakably innocent.
There is no smile here to explain the child away. No colour to distract from the expression. No background story to make the image easier. Just light, shadow, skin, gaze, and the silence around them. The darkness on one side of the frame feels less like empty space and more like the room childhood keeps for itself, private and unreachable.
That is what gives the photograph its quiet force. It does not turn a child into an idea. It simply allows a small person to be present, watchful, unsentimental, and real. In fine-art black-and-white portrait photography, beauty often lives not in what is added, but in what is left alone.
And here, in the dark, a young face holds its ground.
Light Breaking Through
For a brief moment, the clouds opened and the light found its way onto the glacier.
One of those Icelandic scenes that lasts only a few minutes before the weather changes everything again.
Ice, rock, clouds and a little bit of light — more than enough.
