十七: The Days Are Getting Shorter

85mm @ f/1.8, 1/200th & ISO400

That can only mean one thing, the inevitably of winter is upon us.

Sarah I believe was her name. Taken outside the Red Light District, Gzowski College, while on assignment for The Arthur.

Oh, I am proud to announce that I will be collaborating with another young Malaysian artist, and friend E'zatti Zahari to work on a project on portraits, something we both seem to enjoy. The idea is that I will capture a series of different faces each week (I am aiming for 10, at least) and if she is inspired, she'll turn one of those photos in to an illustration.

Here are a few examples of her work.

If you're in need of an illustrator, give her a try.

十六: Women of The World IV

85mm @ f/1.4, 1/50th & ISO1600

Again, no name. From Matthew's performance at The Spill, a while back.

It's still warm in November. How can I complain?

二: Freckles

85mm @ f/1.4, 1/1000th and ISO100

The subject. The biting of the lips. The way the sun hits her. The freckles. Yes. 

Yes.

Freckles. A cluster of concentrated melanin, so says Wikipedia. I think they are absolutely beautiful. I am not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because most people back home don't have complexion fair enough that they develop. Or maybe it's because they're usually found on people at their prepubertal stages of life. Whatever it may be, beauty marks, they most definitely are.

 So there are bound to be days like this one (an image and not much more). Probably many, in fact. To be able to maintain that consistency with uploading picture. 

It's a shame. I've forgotten her name. Maybe someone can identify her?

Reza is finally in Toronto!
