Tavish

[Ernst-Ulrich Schafer]

One of my favorites from my session with Tavish. Of course it had to be a BW. ;-)

Ok you guys are in awe and just don't know how to reply?

Hey Ernst,
This one is as of course as good as the rest of you shot. I like them. One question I have for is about your framing. Obviously your framing are different? What do you clients think about them? Wanted to to know their opinion.

A very brooding expression. I have to assume it goes with his character. It's a very nice portrait, that's for sure.

[Ernst-Ulrich Schafer]

Thanks guys.

Well Yisehag, Yes, I do have fun with my framing at times. This is one of my HS Seniors and there is a large portrait market here in America.
They buy my usually stuff from our sessions but they also buy my art. This is one of the things that sets me apart from all of the other photographers around in my area.

Best to ya, Ernst

I REALLY dig this portrait, very nicely done. Not at all crazy about the framing ratio of thick black border to image, in fact for me it's a distraction, but really dig the image itself!

excellent portrait, but the frame size just isn't my cup of tea

[Ernst-Ulrich Schafer]

Thanks guys, I do appreciate your time and comments.

Please remember I'm the photographer and I get to do what I want. ;-) hehehe

I dig it! I think that this would look great in a oversized frame when hung. It's nice to see some don't follow the rules once in a while.

In that case, Rock on Ernst - you da man!

[Ernst-Ulrich Schafer]

Bob, Rules, What Rules, Am I required to follow Rules. In my book there is only one Rule, how strongly are you seeing your subject!!!

I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I like the frame. It's bold and so is the image. I suppose it will cost you a little in ink to print it.

On a side note, I'm not sure if my monitor need calibration or not but I can see some darkening around the bottom of his hand all the way up to the side of his face. It looks darker than the other black. Thought I should mention that.
