Mona Lisa from my elevator..

I met this lady in the elevator couple days ago.
I was really touched by her subtle beauty and I just had to ask her for a shot!

24-70 that I had on my camera at the moment was too long for the confined space of the elevator; time was limited; lighting was weird and I had to use flash.
Bounced off - stainless steel walls, no less..

We had some nice conversation as I was trying to ease her off a bit and finally I got it: THE Smile!

I’d like to share it with you..

I actually like the way that turned out - the lighting and cool tint are my kind of thing.

Me too!
I was quite surprised with reflections..
Other than that it is not much of a shot IMHO..

Now you got me thinking an elevator like that would be a cool place for a fashion-type shoot.

Feel free to steal the idea!

Very nice! Those mesh panels sure make interesting background.

You've done a good job with the surroundings, nice job.

You managed to capture a nice portrait!

I prefer the coloured version!

I prefer the colored verson as well.

I am amazed that she just let you take a photo of her. You must be pretty convincing.

great shot. I really like the blue tones.

Thank you all!
I’ll try to experiment with that lighting again.
The elevator is there, I just need more beautiful ladies..

Very cool! the reflections and color, nice work!

Liek the color one more too.

Nice.. I like the way that the image mostly consists of silver, yellow and blue (including her eyes). I really like the colour version, the black and white isn't too bad either but the interplay of colours in the first one just does it for me

Pretty girl, too

Very interesting light you captured. I also like the color cast of the photo. It lends a little more mystery to your elevator Mona Lisa...and a smile like Mona Lisa she indeed has.

Nice job

I love the colors in this elevator... I would shoot more here!
