The hardest part of this kind of shoot is getting up early in the morning, before the crowds of tourists have filled the set.
Old composition books say that more space should be in the direction of the subject's gaze, in front of the face, not behind.

Viktor Kirillov, I also thought that the flip looks better, like she turned away, walked away, and looks forward - to the right...) Maybe she didn't wait for her prince, but there's room to go...) IMHO, the author...

Masterfully chose the angle, location and time of shooting, Arkady. Moving the model to the left emphasized the dynamics.

Vladimir Vladimir, The dynamism of what?

Vladimir Vladimir, I may not believe it, but I'll check...

The answer... yes, but... there's no dynamics here at all.
What exactly?

Kurta Arkadiy, When will you confess to me, who advised you to photograph that?

Viktor Kirillov, ah...well...can't the bridge remain in reality, where everything is just a banal plot?;)

What did Arkady notice about the frame? Why is it like that?

Vladimir Vladimir, Dynamics of what?
G. Meremyanin,

Vladimir Vladimir, Dynamics of what?
G. Meremyanin, Plot, Meremyanin, plot... Are you familiar with the concept of "plot"?

Vladimir Vladimir, pardon me, where did you get the word "plot" from when talking about paintings?

I have such plots in my head that, pardon me...they absolutely cannot be used as a litmus test for assessing quality.

Could you name the source who uses the word "plot"?

G. Meremyanin, Plot, Meremyanin, plot... Are you familiar with the concept of "plot"?
Vladimir Vladimir, ))))))...Or maybe static? The left shift of the model during the shot is forced, to enhance the static nature of the surrounding space in the plot (the building, the bridge, the fence, and the benches).

G. Meremyanin,
to enhance the static nature of the surrounding space in the plot
this isn't books or cinema, what do you mean "plot"? (

Please rate the painting for me (name the price) and explain the criteria (specifically, at least one visual, not mental, argument).

Well... You're a gallery owner, for example, I'm listening.

They think they're joking ("plot"))))

Sergey Voroshilin, Sergey, don't press Vladimir for plot; it's a roundabout way of explaining dynamism... The main thing is that he confused the concept of "model displacement," mistaking her pose for movement, while the model is simply posing, emphasizing the static nature of the surrounding space...

G. Meremyanin, I'll ask you straight out: is the bridge really a bridge?

Name the fundamental criterion of art.

G. Meremyanin, a documentary alternative reality.
It was Bresson, I think, who first introduced this visual thesis.

He just knew how to fly a little, maybe he had wings?

Viktor Kirillov,
Thank goodness, photography goes beyond composition books

Anna Ts, The author may have her own perspective, and it's not always forward or in the direction you, as a viewer, are looking

Vladimir Vladimir, Hurray, someone's already noticed the dynamism and atmosphere. Thank you

We were shooting at 5 a.m., but there were people on the embankment as if it were daytime
Ah, the youthful winds...

Kurta Arkadiy, When are you ever going to admit to me who put you up to taking photos?
Sergey Voroshilin,
I'm not going to confess anything to you.
I don't like your tone.
Is that an appropriate answer?

G. Meremyanin, Plot, Meremyanin, plot... Are you familiar with the concept of "plot"?
Vladimir Vladimir,
The concept may be familiar, but his feeling and perception of plot is completely different from, say, yours or mine.
That's normal.

What's that horror against the backdrop of yet another bridge? Why are there these benches? Why is the model sniffing the towers?
You know, all your so-called photography achievements are just dust. You're an ignoramus, a bungler, and a moron. I can take a better picture with any phone.

Viktor Kirillov,
Thank God, photography is moving beyond the scope of composition books.
Kurta Arkadiy, We have a lot going on these days. For example, singing without hitting the right notes is also considered innovation, but is that a good thing?
Books weren't written just to waste paper, but to systematize and preserve the experience and discoveries of early masters of the visual arts.

Anna Ts, The author may have their own perspective, and it's not always forward or in the direction you, the viewer, are looking.
Kurta Arkadiy, The author is always right, and the viewer always expresses their own opinion by default; they can't express someone else's. That's why the term "IMHO" was probably invented for the easily offended, the slow-witted, etc., which is both funny and sad. Again, competent photographers are always interested in any opinion, even from novice photographers. It can be unbiased and emotionally important, since technically, "advanced" photographers are generally aware of their own shortcomings.

Regarding this photograph, the model herself doesn't fit the city background in any way. It could have been taken in a studio against any backdrop, whether colorful or of other cities. There's no emotion, and I don't see any movement (plot). That's my opinion. Just because there aren't any photos online doesn't mean I don't take them..)))

Your photos are sometimes interesting to me (the portraits) – they grab my attention, otherwise I wouldn't be writing.

Kurta Arkadiy, get used to serious debate.
The word "like" isn't really the right word.
Prove to me that the photo is a blank page.
Here's my argument, challenge it!
