@The Photodiarist- that is what attracted me to her in the first place: the mustard coat and then the little pop of olive green on her arm. Re the aperture- um, I find it really difficult to shoot now ,at say, anything above f2.8. I really only go above if we are on holidays. I should be more adventurous though.
@lucylu- thank you Lucy :)) I love the colours as well (and how about that brick behind her?! Love that it screams London!)
June: Portugal as a travel destination; Grilled fish in the sun (I hope!) followed by pastel de nata(s) with strong coffee; Lattes at The Monocle Coffee Shop, London; Inspired by a wonderful tarte tatin I had in Australia, I am attempting this recipe for a suitably sticky and caramely fine apple tart this month; Rory Beca Keala front panel dress (a super easy tunic dress to throw on after a day spent at the beach. Team with gladiator sandals for a casual look or heels to dress it up); Rosamosario Lovers En Space striped bikini (frills for grown-up girls); Free People washed cord overalls (love the more tailored style of these overalls....perfect if you don't like the relaxed fit overalls); Citizens of Humanity Anja Maxi skirt; Christopher Kane floral-print hooded sweatshirt (love the print....and the hood gives it an edge); Soludos classic striped espadrilles (holiday wear! So pretty with sunkissed skin and lovely white dress) or try the more luxurious option in these Valentino lace espadrilles (beautiful); Topshop Moto vintage midi denim dress; Thakoon pleated poplin shirt dress (so pretty and fresh); Topshop oversized crop sweater (love the pretty spearmint colour); Reading: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson; Currently Burning: Diptyque Roses candle (I have the mini version of this and it is so beautiful).
I am an Australian lawyer turned photographer living in London;
I take a thousand photographs every day - some in my head, some with my camera;
I can't imagine doing anything else with my life- I am totally and utterly in love with my camera and with the people and things I photograph
This is one of my faves because of the great color combination. Also, I love love love your wide open aperture.

This is probably one of your best portraits so far: the wide aperture and the perfectly split background on the first picture work wonders.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually quite typical of Renaissance painters. The colour combination of green & mustard work well too - thanks for photographing it for us.
