Portrait of a performer

mikegoat · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

This young man was part of a man and woman duo in a highly stylized burlesque. He was looking in the mirror in the dressing room before the show and I took a picture of his reflected image. Canon 20D 24 mm 1.4 lens. ISO 800.

awesome shot, looks like he is plastic.

I really like this shot...great idea and great concept...good shot

Here is the original photograph from which it was made.

Salleke · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

Nice shot and nice crop.

VividRyan · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

cropped is way better

PEACHMAN · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

Crop may be better as a portrait, but great capture in the original as a story...very different approach as original and I find it very mesmerizing!

schmoelzel · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

Excellent!! Like both the original and the crop!

jgjulio · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

Wow. Two great pictures from one shot. Each is striking in its own right.

Exceptional work as long as the print looks as good as this one and I'm sure that it does. Keep up the good work. Excellent job.

Maureen Souza · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

I like them both..... as Peachman said, they both depict a different story. It's cool when you can do that with one photograph.

PetKal · 23rd of October 2005 (Sun)

The colour, lighting, atmosphere and the man's expression/tension caught are all so very good. Good indeed !

That is a great shot and crop! I love it, nuf said

excellent work. I must say I am impressed by the 24mm 1.4. been eyeing this lens heavily. Just wonder if it will serve me well on the 5D.

Again, excellent crop and exposure.

Nice shot.

Is it just me or does this guy look like Jerry Lewis??
