Portraits - Scarlet Mystery
January 12th, 2008 in Portraits by Melanie
“Scarlet Mystery” the first time that I learned about “insight” in images.
I just did this for fun and submitted this into competition to see how it would do. The scores ranged from excellent to not accepted. The judge that saved this print said that the image was very representative about the red light district and that the woman is rough looking and did not have a smile for a reason. When I heard this being said I remember thinking what is he talking about? This man had insight and was looking beyond what the image was to see what the story was.
From that day on, I decided to find insight in all the images that I took either professionally or for personal reasons. And I have not looked back.
