Monomad challenge Entry #7; Secrets!
We all have secrets and keep secrets. It could be bad or good secrets. But we keep these secrets for a reason.
For me, my secrets are not tales of heinous crimes or mischievous acts. My secrets are about my vulnerabilities and weakness. I keep these secrets judiciously because in the wrong ears, these secrets would hurt me.
I hope that one day, I find someone to share the secrets of my heart with, and hope that he doesn't use them to hurt me. But until I find him, I'll rather hide my secrets in dark shades, and reveal them in front of lights and camera lenses, because those won't hurt me.
I created this portrait with an awkward 2-light set-up. One light was placed over her heard to serve as hair light, and also separate her from the background. The other light was placed in front of her in the same position the hair light was placed. I loved the result though. I'll share the colored variants another day. Those ones have a whole different story to tell.

Great portrait mate. I love how she fades into shadows and the eyes stand out.
Thank you very much. I was quite deliberate with the edit. I'm glad you like it.

this is a great shot. This works so well
Beautiful portrait!
This is a piece of art. I love the lighting, the mood and the feeling.
When it comes to secrets, I heard that the densest feeling is not fear but shame.
Fear can move us into action, to attack or to run.
Shame render us motionless.
So the cure is to forgive ourselves.
If you are interested to hear your truth, this is one of my favourite channellings from the series. I love every one of them because is healing my heart and soul.
Have a great day Kode :)
Thank you very much. I'm not the one with secrets though. The girl in the photo is. I'll share your information with her.
I love the caption, and its a very nice shot, lighting is perfect. But my eye is drown to the bottom left corner! I don't know what that lighter part is.
Thank you very much. I don't really know what you are seeing though. But what's on the floor is a Square box that acted as a stool. And on it I placed some artificial flowers.
Than its the box i see :)
Yes it is.
