Portrait


VA3_7139, originally uploaded by gugs.

A nice portrait I shot in Sénégal, in a local school... the colors make me think of the painting by Vermeer, the Girl with the pearl earring...
see here for instance:

Shot with the 70-200VR lens on the Nikon D3 camera. The lens has been used at 5.6 to blur the background and get enough depth of field on the face.

Heel mooi portret Guy. Zelfs de kleur van de haarband komt overeen ? Echt niet geënsceneerd ?
