SL Flickr of the Day: Amona Savira's Studies in Contrast

Amona Savira has a fantastic Flickr feed of SL images (and some taken IRL) with an emphasis on deep contrasts, intense shadow, and clean, spare images. This one above is a recent favorite of mine, a fashion shot so essentialized, it seems more like an abstract painting.

"[T]his is shot in a simple set that I built," Ms. Savira tells me. "The photo is of my avatar set in a scene with light from one side. I use the Firestorm viewer. Through this I can regulate skylight and shadows, the point of view, angle and depth of field."

Then comes some final post-processing magic -- click for a close-up shot beneath the break:

"The shot is edited in Photoshop, with gaussian blur and lens blur. In addition I have used ToyCamera AnalogColor 64bit. This gives the colors a bit more edge." So yes, that virtual flower has been virtualized even further, but doesn't it still seem as sweet?

I also love the flickr of Samona, her pics are beautiful, elegant and over of all full of feelings. I also enjoy her groups. People like her make second life much nicer :)
