Photographer’s Note

The 21th of july of 2004 Jerry Goldsmith passed away.

Today is the second anniversary of this sad date.

He was the best musician (composer) of the 20th century. His work is... great!!!

He wrote more than 100 soundtracks.
Some of them: A patch of blue, Total Recall, Under Fire, Mulan, Patton, The planet of the apes, Islands in Stream, Papillon, First Blood (and the other two sequels), Basic Instinct, The Omen (also the two sequels), The boys from Brazil, Hoosiers, Rudy, Star Trek (and another four films of the serie), Alien, Poltergeist, The Russia House, Medicine Man, The sand pebbles, The wind and the lion, The mummy, Gremlins, L.A. Confidential or Chinatown are some of these soundtracks.

I hope you like it.

Bonjour Carlos
Très beau portrait de cette musicienne au visage bien éclairé.
Elle est tout à fait concentrée sur ce qu'elle fait.
Merci pour le partage.
Amitiés

Hi Carlos,
the lightning makes this photo. Great portrait of the musician. Very good expression. Nice POV and composition.
For me the best composer is Phillip Glass and his minimalism music.

The light really is beautiful, creating a moody ambience. I love how you caught that fierce look of concentration on her face.

Hi Carlos
Nice soft light captured here, especially the highlights around the face. A good, intense look on the face shows good emotion and the portrait format crops in nicely. Good work.

Hi Carlos,

I find this a very well picture, alone a pity that the dark silhouette of the girl totally disappear in the dark environment, very well done!

Have a nice weekend,
John

evanrizo (456) 2006-07-21 9:48

Oooh yes we like it very much, excellent, very nice lightness too.
Thanks a lot.

PDP (439) 2006-07-21 15:11

Hello Carlos,

Great shot. Lovely action and the light is superb. I think I would like to see a fraction more space around her hand. Great shot.

Scharan (13955) 2006-07-21 16:57

Olá Carlos
Foto maravilhosa e cores atraentes; ótimo tema. Gostei da postura e da expressão da garota muito bem registrada Carlos.
Parabéns, lindo trabalho.
Grande abraço,
Vera.

bakes888 (18353) 2006-07-21 17:46

Hi Carlos. Wonderful portrait. Warm soft colours and the look of concentration on her face (which would be natural in this case) and excellent cropping make a lovely image. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

singuanti (15240) 2006-07-21 23:24

Hi Carlos. That guy sure was a prolific writer. The side POV is a little different and I like what you came up with because we feel both intimate and detached if you catch my drift. Nice light too Carlos.

bantonbuju (48796) 2006-07-22 2:06

hola carlos,
love this tributing photo, light is obviously excellent;
the colours and tones make it a very pleasent, very quiet image,
i dared a workshop trying to add some drama to the image, i found that the face of the woman is so sad, so full of concentration and all the surroundings less important that i tried to underline the face, and increase 'sadness" of the scene (or in other words - make it less neutral, less beautiful);
hope you like my vision too,
saludos, j.

Hello Carlos!
Wow! such a great portrait woth lovely light!
Congratulations!
Best regards!

pasternak (13646) 2006-07-22 3:36

Very good image, Carlos, the light on the girl and her viola is really golden, nice crop to render dynamism as we really see her playing. Like it a lot, it has a lot of mood to it, though it is sad of course...

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Carlos,
Well composed and resonating with emotion and passion. I like how you have captured the musician's face and also the dynamics of the instrument being played. The lighting matches the mood of your note, and the framing and cropping work is impeccable. I like this shot very much. Well done.
John

Angelillo (9065) 2006-07-22 12:57

Hola Carlos... De vuelta a Madrid me encuentro con esta bellísima fotografía. La luz es realmente buena, muy bien matizada y muy suave la transición, aunque el claroscuro sea fuerte. El juego de tonalidades en el violonchelo es realmente hermoso, así como el gesto de la chica. Y muy buena la nota, a mí también me gusta mucho la música de Goldsmith. Un buen homenaje, sí señor. Un abrazo.

Angel.

Cretense (57010) 2006-07-23 8:53

Hola Carlos!
Me gustan mucho las fotos de los musicos. Los musicos son las unicas personas que me dan envidia. Es el unico "trabajo" que me gustaria hacer si no fuera periodista.
El retrato es excellente. Muy buena composicion. El control de la luz, impecable. Por encima de todo me gusta la expresion decisiva de la chica. Muy buena nota tambien. Felicidades, amigo!
Un abrazo,
Hercules

Hi Carlos,
Lovely portrait and wonderful lighting over the beautiful girl! Excellent work!

Regards John

oochappan (22032) 2006-07-23 18:41

Hi Carlos
you had a fine weekend ?
The string point in this shot is how she is lightened up coming out from the darker sourroundings, a perfect light segmentation on the differant elements and a warm colortone, best choice you have put here compared with the WS.
greetings
Henk

balatrek (7419) 2006-07-24 17:01

Hola Carlos,

Me gusta la composición de esta imagen, su luz y sus bellos contrastes, has captado un momento muy intenso y emotivo, felicidades.

Un saludo, José

Henryk_Bilor (20371) 2006-07-26 4:33

Hello Carlos
I agree, the music from Star Trek is one of the best I know. Excellent tribute to the composer.
The women`s face looks beautiful when concentrating on the play. Great capture.
Regards

Hola Carlos
Foto dinamica gracias a la mirada concentrada de la señora y el fundo poco commun.
Casi pasamos por Quintanilla del Coco para sacar algun foto ;-) lunes pasado cuando hicimos el viaje entre Barcelona y Orense pero la distancia est demasiada larga para hacer visitas en el camino.
Saludos
Nikki

Hola carlos

Que pasa nen??? Bonito homenaje musical...
Me gusta la perspectiva mucho más que una frontal y la definición está genial.
Saludos
Sergio

quillo (7322) 2006-09-08 13:34

Hola Carlos, me encanta la luz de esta foto, es una imagen hermosa y elegante que transmite esa concentración de la chelista metida en su partitura, me hubiera gustado que la imagen de la concertista estuviera estado completa la pose corporal de estos músicos cuando tocan es toda una sinfonía.

Un saludo.

sothy81 (8540) 2006-10-29 0:27

Wonderful portrait. I love it. You captured it at the right moement: she is so concentrating. Good work Carlos. Sothy

Preetie (431) 2007-07-28 12:02

A very powerful image..there are a lot of contrasts..the stregnth and rough edges of the pillars juxtaposed with the sleek elegance of the violon. The warm tones of the violon and the starkness of the musician again juxtaposed with a face full of intense concentration and subdued emotion.Extremely powerful..love the play of light and the overtones of red..set against darker hues.
The picture actually talks about the whole life story of a musician..says it all!!
Great job....
