"I C U" is an a few days ago taken at the yard of a highschool shot. I mean this picture as a with-no-words daystory of two close girlfriends who had no problem to stand in front of my camera for the needs of a photography lesson about focusing at the first or second level of a photo frame.
But they also are two young teenagers who are ready to conquer the life that lies just in front of them. And this might remind us an already well known life story: ours! Isn't it so?
Berthold,
sometimes it is more than obvious when two people's photographic prospect varies from shot to shot or theme to theme, and this is a mulitple sides to be seen matter (meaning, why this and not this, or, who's right and who's not, why this variation etc.). Through the years, I have understood well that what one might consider as a true highlight doesn't necessarily means that it might be considered by another too.
In my opinion, photography is a deeply curious field of creation, where everybody is permited to expand his personal testings, yet he has the obligation to accept any kind of critique once he decides to present them in public. Thus, if my claim is to be a photographer (eventhough still learner) don't I have to get under this kind of efficiency ratio? We don't have to think about it a lot, the answer is clearly YES.
Why am I telling you all these? First, to let you know that I both read carefully and feel pleased each time you or anyone else gives me his critical thought (it's like an unexpected gift), and, second, to make you feel free and comfortable to continue doing this every time you want.
It's not only because of politeness, it is a way to improve my work!
Yours,
Enne See
PS.: Forgive me for my poor english, as it is not the easiest thing for me to speak (write) fluently about board and abstract subjects as the certain one.
Thank you, Berthold, for commenting on my work again.
Alexandra is a very nice person indeed. She's a serious lady that teaches principles of portrait photography, together with her closest friend (a historian), Margarita.
This is a portrait shot of hers (out of two more) that I took a few days ago, when we were all working under a specific session on woman photography. To tell you the truth, the red fond was a personal choice of both of them when I gently asked them to pose for me.
The two portraits (Alexandra's and Margarita's) have been shot by using my brand new (then) lens, the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8, a piece that I didn't remain pleased with so much, thus I had it returned back to purchase the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 next (an extremely sharp and fast glass, giving easily better results).

Yes, a little bit grainy, it's true, due to be a crop and taken on very low light. Thanks for visiting my picture and have a nice day.Alberto
