Hi Line

Yes - you are surely a photographer who comes around - while other seldom comes outside the island (Fyn) ;-) Great angle you got this situation in - I like the look of the model -and the start of that nice artwork - seams not to be "pre fabricated" ;-))

In fact do I have a little old photo with my self as model - perhaps should I post it for fun - it was taken in London back in 1984.

Thanks for sharing Line.

I definitely don't agree with you. I think that we can draw an excellent portrait of someone we don't know, as well as we can take an excellent photograph of a subject we have never seen before. It is exactly the same aproach.

In fact, I think that the most you are distanced from your subject, the more you are able to "see" things you would have never seen if you crossed his way everyday. As for the climber, it is much easier to see the form of the mountain from the plane rather than when he is climbing it.

Your photo is very nice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts,.

There's a timelessness to this shot Line that's very appealing-- probably because the subject matter is universal and there are no references in the frame that would 'date' the shot.

A shallow DOF has been mentioned; I don't know how effective that would be considering the short distance from the girl to the wall- that might have risked throwing the artist out of focus so I guess your lack of manual control was a good thing :)

I might have bent my knees a bit to use the girl's head to cover that bright thing behind her but at age 13 I was lucky if I could focus properly let alone get a photo worth posting here. Well done!

Very impressive Line! You had talent even back then. This was nicely composed in the camera and looks good still. The artist's bag in the background right is a fine element. And I think the artist has captured the girl's mouth, so perhaps he is a cut above the rest in actually drawing the person sitting in front of him. Were you next? ;-)

very nice angle of shooting Line. i dont agree that these artists keep by heart some standard prototype. When i was in Kiev my personal experience showed that it depends on how clever the artist is , and how far can he capture some special characteristics of the face.
