I love the classic portrait style. Cant stay away from it, age maybe?

 

[badronald]

Thats a great capture of a very cool smile. like it

 

[DiddyDave]

What do you mean by 'classic'

?????????

DD

 

[Betty]

You have to lose the background, its horrible and dated. Her smile looks a bit forced as well.

Nicely lit portrait though

 

[dellipher]

By classic I think he means the background DD, which also might be why Betty doesnt like it - Its different.....:shrug:

By classic, I mean the BG and lighting style. 30-35 years ago when I was a young [well not that young] 'togger' the current style was marbled BG's and the traditional lighting.These were all paper BG's on a roll heavy and cumbersome but in their day they were the 'in thing'. I really liked the style then and still do. Of-Course time marches on and styles change. I dont think its horrible...dated yes..perhaps.

Yeah I thinks it great for the style it is. Im 23 and new to this game so im into a totally different style. Each to their own!

I thought 'school photo' when i saw the pic described as 'classic'

 

[Trailertrash]

Yes, I suppose the classic style could be described as 'school room'. However, it was a very popular form of portraiture ,but many years ago. I guess some of you werent born yet.
Carrying on from Betty's suggestion, I fuzzed out the BG and changed the colour of her top to blend better.
Is it? I'm here to learn.
