Hilarious. If this wasn't set up, I can imagine that somebody came chasing after you! :-) Black and white works well to tone down the variety of colors that are obviously there.
the bathroom surroundings give it a context, but i'm not sure it's needed. the l'oreal ad would probably be all most people needed to establish that she was dyeing her hair. Like the expression, though, and the black and white to make it a bit less busy.
Love the story being told here. If that's not candid, you've got a good model! Color might have been neat, but all that monochromatic tile might have made B&W a good choice.
You just can't stage things like this... I love it! I didn't really realize people still do this. I spent lots of childhood hours helping my mom do the back of that little bonnet thing... I'm giving this a 10 just because you got a strong emotional response from me!
how brave! i used to do that in high school! oh the horrors! very nice picture-- the composition made me smile. maybe just a little more contrast to keep it from looking quite so grey.
Subject's face is a bit too dark, otherwise a pretty nice shot. Good focus, shot has interest, but I have to ask Why NOT in LIVING COLOR? Photo 9 Creativity 8 People 8 (I really tried hard to not grade down for B&W, I think I was pretty nice, but this is a personal gripe of mine.)
LOL, was the hair color so bad that you had to switch to b&w??? Very great humor shot. I like the composition, and the angle. Just wish her face was a little lighter.
lol How fun. Great job really funny. I have been there done that! Got the green hair to prove it. Good composition and really tells a story. Fun shot. Nicely done.
