DeLaOstia jeans

Post 103

Now I'm not sure if it's the washing line full of jeans or that stunning blue sky but this portrait by Gastón Suaya is like a little ray of sunshine on a grey Glasgow evening. I'm the first to admit that I'm a sucker for any photograph with beautiful lighting, especially if it's natural lighting. This image really makes me wish that I was outside in some good weather shooting something similar. I definitely have some envy!

Perfect Paintings

Marta Lozo has captured quite a tender moment between an artist and painting. The lighting in this capture is completely beautiful and really makes the image perfect. Check out the Flickr stream for more gorgeous work!

The Real Mrs. Doubtfire

Post ninety nine!

I completely adore real characters. This lady, captured by Travis Jensen SF is a perfect example of why I am so in love with people. Not only does she look 100% real, she looks like she has hundreds of stories to tell. This portrait makes me wonder off into imagining what a life she's had; who she's met, who she has met and may more questions.

Check out Travis's website here for some more wonderful photography.

Staffan Carlsson  has taken an utterly stunning portrait of this gentleman, the depth of field really makes his lovely eyes just pop out of his face. The tones in the monochrome are awesome and the crop is perfect.

I adore all things paper, especially paper cranes! So this photograph from Roanne Lucy Silver really got me excited. The simplicity of the model's pose and tone, coupled with the angular origami birds are a perfect offset to the negative space around her. To be honest it's just really gorgeous right?

Albrazier's captured a sneaky little look from a World War II re-enactment. I love moments like this, a completely honest expression. Nothing compares to it, not even the best model or actor!

Balloon Flight, part two

Post ninety three!

Dorien Coremans created a photograph that is so awesomely gorgeous it makes my heart beat a little faster. The figure is cropped perfectly in the clear blue sky just above the horizon.

Also as a little treat here is the first part to the photograph, it's equally as stunning, as is the rest of Dorien's Flickr stream.

Melinda Shay has captured a stunning model in a wonderful pose. The reflection on the highly polished floor really sets off the unusual capture. I find the composition and cropping of the photograph impossibly perfect. I really urge you to get yourself over to Melinda's Flickr and have a good look through her photography as it's really wonderful.

Ann H has created this utterly wonderful portrait that has had me rather mesmerized. The pose, hair and texture of the skirt is just completely beautiful. I'll be honest, I'm a little lost for words when it comes to this shot so I'll just be quiet and let you enjoy.

Reading On Sunset

Post eighty eight!

Now without getting too nostalgic, this portrait makes me think of summers gone by. It's so beautifully shot with perfect lighting and composition. It makes me feel utterly homesick and makes me dread looking out of my window at the Glasgow weather which if I'm honest makes me very sad everyday. 

But however melancholy the weather outside is, Spazi Angusti has given me a good fifteen minutes of happy memories. Don't you just love it when an image can do that?

Love in Low Key

Post eighty seven!

This beautiful low key by Tatiana Pezzin is utterly breath taking. Not only am I a sucker for anything that looks like real love between two people but the negative space around the couple is stunning. The way that the couple's features are just highlighted enough to convey their love is beyond perfection. 

Please head over to her Flickr to see more beautiful images. I'm a big fan of Tatiana's work and I think you'd all like it.

Folds of Fabric

Post eighty five!

Poppy Cockburn's beautiful image below gives me goosebumps every time I look at it. I can literally get lost in the tumbling fabric. I think that the crop is perfect and the fact that the there's a layer of fabric covering the model's face. All the fabric is very romantic and completely wonderful. Check out Poppy's Flickr for more gorgeous images!

Summer lovin'

Post eighty five!

As a thumbnail on Flickr I thought this was a Polaroid, but it's actually a wonderful reflection in a natural frame, with a brilliant crop! This image by Lulu has a perfect composition and just makes me think of summer, which lets face it is always a good thing!

Crafty Woman

This is an image that I have gushed over for a good while. There's just so much going on with this portrait, it's so intriguing and beautiful. It's such a wonderful capture by DeeMac, the smile seems so honest and real joy. This is an image that really puts a smile on my face, it never fails to lift me when I am feeling down. I hope that those of you who read this can feel that same joy! Enjoy!

There is something very compelling about this image. I absolutely adore the tones in the black and white image and the way the smoke has been captured. The natural lighting is completely beautiful and makes the models skin radiant. Nesa June's captured a completely ordinary moment in the model's life but made it look spectacular.

There's photograph as gorgeous as a really true and honest portrait. Géraldine vW has created a perfectly lit portrait that makes me feel like I am looking straight into the models soul! I am a little stumped for words. Stunning.

I guess that's one more thing to worry about

This beautiful silhouette by Colin H. completely and utterly takes my breath away. Everything about this portrait is stunning, the lighting is perfect across the models face, just highlighting the details and the gorgeous curved line that's formed by the pose couldn't be more right.

Time

Post seventy eight!

 Jen3nidad's image is perfect for a Friday afternoon, I''d sure love to be in a hammock right now! There is nothing like seeing an image of a stunning sunset to take your mind off the work to be done and get me into that Friday feeling, even if it's tainted with a little jealousy.

Rimel Neffati has created a perfectly gorgeous portrait with a wonderful sense of beauty and humour. I completely adore all the texture in this image, right from the fabric look of the background, to the perfect skin and out to the cotton wool clouds. There isn't a single thing about this image that doesn't put a huge smile on my face.
