Pensive Profile of a Young Woman in Soft Light
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006 at 7:20:58 PM · 2006/Roll 48/Roll 48
This is a side-profile portrait of a young woman named Penelope, photographed in February 2006 with a Canon EOS 20D using an 85mm lens, likely a prime portrait lens. She has long, dark brown hair falling loosely around her shoulders and is wearing a light grey top. The shallow depth of field characteristic of an 85mm lens at a wide aperture renders her face slightly soft and dream-like against a neutral grey background. The lighting appears to come from a window or natural light source to her right, casting gentle shadows on her neck and jaw. The mood is introspective and calm, giving the image a quiet, personal quality typical of candid portrait photography.
