There is a space outside my apartment door in the stairwell that is flooded with natural light. Love shooting there at f1.8, makes everything so very soft. It's edited using frequency separation, which is where the sharpness in the eyes comes from. Thank you for your kind words :)

Superb capture. Congrats on your feature.

gorgeous face

As a photographer I often live in a bubble, not sure if what I am doing is ok or not. THANK YOU! Not just for your kind words but also for the detail of your comments. Mentioning light and detail and how my picture made you feel means the world to me :)

OOh that's nice. Very nice. A lovely portrait and a different approach. Works really well!

Beautiful photo!

Great expression!

This is so gorgeous! The catchlights are excellent, congrats!!

A worthy choice for a featured image. The perspective/negative space is a sure winner in my opinion with a nice edit to boost!....well done and congrats Lance.....Brian
