When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
By Janek Man
 This is from a little while ago, just wanted peoples opinions on it. Im still not sure Comments
 I love the sharpness and the vividity of the colours.
I just think it's terrific -- no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.  nah sorry, green just isnt right here for you i don't think.
-- kilted1ecosse ...do what you are, don't be what you do! I'm not a fan of green myself actually.
But apparently it goes well with red Thanks for the comment Cx -- Mum told me never show my "fluff", so I shaved it all off  Thank you
x-- Mum told me never show my "fluff", so I shaved it all off  Very vivid! I really like the green contrasting against your skin and the red in your hair. Great lips too!
 I think this is great - I really love the contrast between the red and the green. I often think gels are a bit unnecessary, but they really make the shot here.
Thank Tim, Janek uses gels alot. Was partly why I fancied working with him really, to get something a little more different for my portfolio. Still not sure though lol
Cx -- Mum told me never show my "fluff", so I shaved it all off It's definitely eyecatching, which is one of the main criteria for a portfolio shot. If I'd taken it I'd definitely be showing it!
 Alas, I am not Premium, I am cut-rate.
First stipulation: I see colours in my own unique manner. In other words, I do not see them in the manner defined 'Normal Colour Vision.' Specifically this means I do not see the touch of green others mention. That said: Lighting, colours, and makeup combine to provide a vivid, almost surreal effect, with definite touches of 'glam-rock'. Pose, eye contact between model and viewer, and close framing add a very edgy in-your-face touch, particularly with the sharp focus. Rather hyper-real. Demonstrates range in ability. On a personal side, also stimulates a lot of 'background questions': Who is she, where is she, what is her Universe like? -- What does it avail a man, To gain a fortune and lose his soul? |

Difficult as I'm not sure about the cropping of the image and I wish maybe the background was different.
However.. I think this could be one of your better fashion/glamour shots as you like very slick in it; a sort of Robert Palmer 'Addicted to Love' feel; semi androgynous.
So.. it's a great shot for you as it demonstrates your abilities well, maybe there's a better cropped one in that series?
Run with it though as it defo does you no harm!
Hope this was of some help xx
The landscape orientation makes it a little different but think that the central composition doesn’t totally nail end result, would have preferred more negative space to the left and without the top of your head cropped or brought in really tight, this seems a bit of a halfway house.
Composition of course often the big subjective quantity.
The make up gives it impact, its good, its vivid, I like it, well form my POV anyway, the lighting is well handled but lacks contrast a little, again really a personal view, two catch lights in the eyes, tut tut (personal niggle) and yes I have done it too but it still bugs me from a technical point of view.
The detail and sharpness is pretty impressive.
It’s a very good portrait, it’s not outstanding nor is it poor by any means.
I think my final evaluation would be, if I had shot it, would I have it in my portfolio?
I believe I would.
I have tried to be as objective as I can, I hope I have been!
