Carol

Olympus E3, Zuiko Digital 14-35mm F/2.0

All I can say is that she wants to tell us something…
hmmm I'm affraid I got it!

Beautifully captured expression! I just wonder 'bout the color of her eyes… Not dark brown obviously!
Mrs Baumann perhaps?

I am a fan...

Lovely capture! Good work, Mr. Baumann. This is stunning. I'd love to see this printed.

Georg,

It's not often that we see a person in your photography. Carol's portrait obviously has in it special care and it shows. I like the signature tint and the tonalities.

I'd consider making the scarf more prominent.

Thanks for letting us in on this rare work of yours outside of landscape!

Nope! I was nearly married to a Prof. of Arts in the USA, having learned my lesson, this will never happen again.

Carol is Oceanviewstudio's Art Research Coordinator as well as our first Permanent Featured Artist. Carol is my business partner and we do all the shooting tours here together and have a great many plans for the future of OVS, which will reveal once our website goes online.

Blue eyes with a slight hint of green, yes, besides being an outstanding artist and great business partner, she is one of the most beautiful women I ever meet in deed. It is not only her outer shell, but the whole package, she has a heart greater than Mount Everest, talking of Everst, she does a climb to base camp this year to fundraise money for the street children of Kalcutta.

Besides all that I am lucky to say that she is a good friend, to me she is like a mixture of Maurice Ravel and Alexandre Scriabin, hence the processing.

Opus 72 vers la flamme Nicolas, vers la flamme ;o)

It can not do justice to her true beauty but give us a glimpse of her inner values and outer glow.

Thank you Ms ChatKat

You are right, it is not often that I desire to shoot people, with Carol this was the case from day one, and luckily she agreed when we were walking on Dunfanaghy beach discussing business.

I was referring to Alexandre Scriabins Opus 72, vers la flamme, highly recommendable in case you do not know this already, I would suggest to look for a recording with Vladimir Horrowitz, no one ever played Scriabin like Vladimir.

Ok… i'll dig that!

Lovely to be able to see Carol, please say hello to her for me, like you I rarely photograph people, this is a lovely shot of her (well done) and I'm so glad to see that she doesn't resemble an Orang Utan at all, you devil you!!! LOLOLOLOL

May this picture take away the haunted feeling I left with you Fahim.



Like all outstanding artists, I think, they do have a great many sides, so does Carol. When we got to know eachother she was asking about my time with native americans and in a funny but respectful way she was asking what her name might have been, and spontaneously "speaks with the wind" came to my mind, and astonishingly enough this was something which I found "confirmed" in many ways later when we knew more about eachother.

For me this shot shows a real woman in all of her beingness-nothing posed or plastic in nature
albeit nature Herself
what you have given us is real-and I for one as a female applaud you
I really like the last artsy shot gives us another dimension and is what I like to do as well
what an intresting series!

Charlotte

I as a man applaud you for recognizing it.

Thank you Charlotte.

Georg, that imho is so much more appealing. Ah! life is good once again!
