New pictures of Nanako 2.0

[Nanako]

I love this portrait of a young lady with an orchid.

I'm glad to hear that. I really didn't think I'd use it or not. But, I'm glad I did

I enjoyed this weeks post, what range she has.
The effects caught in black and white are cool to see, that first one does have an alice in wonderland like feel to it with the large vs small perspectives
Always love when she pulls out the maid uniform
This portrait is stunning, I gotta say I think it's one of my favorite portraits of hers. I just keep staring

Now, I'm very glad I posted the photo!
She can take some excellent portraits when the light
and shadows are distributed just so on her eyes and face.
I thought this one fell a bit short, but what do I know??

Wow love these. I love how the red pops! Meow!

Thanks, my friend!
Yes, the text does grab you, not only the bright, red color, but
being in Japanese (Nanako and her cat). I had fun with this!

More black and white treats from Nanako..

Alice in wonderland meets film noir...
I bet thats never been done before..
Always love seeing the headshots as well..

Another knockout set of pictures of lovely Nanako.
I do love the close up portrait of Nanako. It really highlights her beauty. Great pictures.

Thanks, MK! Glad you liked the photos this week. I should
point out that the NoirNeko image was a retake - and for
reasons that should be obvious, once seen. I was really happy
with this image... until I took a good look at it and realized I had
made huge beginner's mistake that I always check beforehand
(and I did on this one too!) Have you caught it yet?
Ok, whenever I do a compositite, the very first thing I do is to
check the direction of the light source, so the shadows will
agree. Well, in this one, we have suns from both east and west.
At first I thought I'd just let it pass, and hope no one would
notice, but then caved, and decided to reshoot it. Ah, me.

Thank you djc! Well now that I've fessed up to my misdeeds, I hope you will
still enjoy the photos. Again, thanks for your support and encouragement!

I guess that means a very long exposure!
Bravo to the model! 12 hours without moving is not within everyone's reach.

Ha, happens all the time! For historical perspective, Nicéphore Niépce, standing
fridgid and motionless for hour after hour.

Something about the angle of her glance accentuates her facial features in a special way..................her eyes too...................

Love these black and white photos. She’s wonderful.

Thanks you, sir! I think in this photo, it's more the delicate light that just manages to break through either side, from the overall backlit scene. I really did love these two photos, too! Thanks for the kind words!

Love these black and white photos. She’s wonderful.

Thanks, soonpk, very nice to hear. When I shoot B&Ws like these, I wonder if I should ever shoot color again!

2024-02-17- Nanako's White Floral Yukata


Nanako really hit the jackpot this Christmas! In addition to her kistune
necklace, she managed to talk me into this colorful floral yukata. She
also manged to convince me that she needed another hanfu to go along
with it... and, naturally, she did pile on and garnered a few accessories
to both in the process, all of which you will see in dutiful course this week
and next.

I really conceived of this and next week's photo as a pair, and I was
sorely tempted to post them together, but decided that there's nothing wrong
with letting the drama build a little, so you'll have to wait until next week for
the conclusion of this set, at which time I probably will post them side by side.


Coming next week: Nanako's New Hanfu


Bye for now. Have a great week!

Jackpot indeed. Great photo! What a beautiful traditional garment modeled so elegantly by your lovely Nanako.


Managed to talk you into? Managed to convince you? I'll wager there was no convincing necessary, and you folded like you were holding a pair of deuces and nothing else the minute she asked.
