A few portraits of Gosia. She’s a first-generation Canadian, her parents being immigrants from Poland. One can tell she has a very European look.

These were taken with the sun coming from behind because Gosia was squinting too much otherwise. I tried my flash as a fill-in to balance the brightness of the background, which helped increased saturation in the foreground. I love the colours in these shots, they’re so dreamy.

Another addition to my body shot series. Gosia’s a competitive volleyball player, so she has awesome abs (not to mention killer curves).

A lot of guys are somewhat blinded by Gosia’s beautiful big eyes and curvy figure; they’re don’t realize that she’s quite a strong, intelligent person with a good head on her shoulders. The idea of these shots was to cover up part of her face, not through the framing of the picture, but using objects to help the viewer see past her physical beauty.

The third image, the close-up of her eye, is amazing. Well done, again.

Thank you! It’s actually a crop + reduction of the previous image, but next time I want to get a full shot of an eye, now that I know it’s possible to handhold the macro lens.

these are gorgeous shots.

Thank you! Coming from someone whose pictures I enjoy, I take it as a very nice compliment.
