Light in Hagia Sofia Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hagia Sofia or Ayasofya - one of the first things to see when you're in Istanbul-has the most beautiful amzing light inside
Every corner is special,and there you will find easily people posing for you or you can "catch" them praying,admiring or like you shooting,as I did too all the time there inside
The golden light inside is maybe given by walls which are covered with the fantastic ceramics,golden motifs and colourful stones from place to place.

Hi Isabela,

Great portrait and light, bad typography. The type conveys more the disco era than a religious place.

Cheers,
E

Hello Isabela,

Very nice light you have used and captured here. I especially like the little hints of architecture you have in the background there.
Yes, the light is very nice. Perhaps the photo is slightly over-sharpened, looking at some of the hairs. But i'm really nitpicking now, so don't pay attention to that comment ;-). Nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

The curving windows backwards and this curved face forward, and then vertical and horizontal lines in between...
This is an almost 'spiritual' photo full of lights and shadows
I like it

Hi Isabela,
what a wonderful place for a portrait. I just come back from Istanbul and I must say you're right, Ayasofya is truly incredible. I particularly like the golden tones here and the almost darkness. Good job.

Buna seara Andreia

Foarte misto compusa fotografia.
Nu stiu daca am folosit vreodata ISO-ul mai mult de 400(poate doar cand am testat aparatul sa vad ce iese,si normal ca nu mi-a placut :-D)...in schimb imi place mai mult sa vad la altii fotografii facute la ISO 800-1600.
Frumos.

O seara placuta,
Lucian

Bonjour Isabela,
un très beau jeu de lumières ici et une maitrise de celles-ci pour bien dévoiler les traits du visage de cette jeune fille.
Un jeu astucieux avec une profondeur de champs bien pensée.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

This picture is full of spirit. The lights are soft, and they serve as offset to her delicate features.
I really like it.
