Photographer’s Note

I was in the library in my school. Saw this girl concertrated strongly on her school work with enthusiasm. I was far away from her, and the telephoto lens really helped. For PP, I cropped, reduced noise, and saturated. Shot in raw.

You all like her enthusiatic face? I do... a lot!

Nice angle giving a real studing look to the girl.

Hi Sothy, nice to see this shot, very unusual angle, even with a tele-- wonder how you could manage. What distance?
The girl's tilted frame is making the shot an exciting one, besides of course her obvious immersion in her work. A very nice shot!
take care, good night Sothy

Hi Sothy,

;-))) oh yes I know thic only too well...good work, the tilt really works here, although I would try to avoid the blurred chair in the foreground...

Take care, Ivana

Excellent portrait. I find it fascinating that she was so engrossed she didn't see you. The low POV works very well to allow us to see more of her face than a more usual viewpoint would. I just can't visualise you down on the floor pointing upwards at her with that big lens and she didn't notice.

Hi Sothy,

An usual pov and pose for a very nice portrait. It would be a great illustration to any writing related with study as everything on the photo is about study. The bookshelves couldn't be more appropriate as a backdrop for such a theme and they give context and colour without disturbing the portrait.

It's amazing what you can do with your tele indoors! What a luminosity, sharpness and colours!

Didn't you consider inviting her for more photos?

Regards, José.
