Geiko

Patrick Hochner

Geisha are famed the world over for their poise and grace, and this portrait oozes both. The splashes of red in the subject’s lips and eye shadow, in her elaborate hair clip and in the beautifully blurred background, tie the image together, and complement the green of her kimono, while the verticals behind provide a frame within a frame. Nikon D810, 70-200mm f/2.8, 1/200 sec, f/2.8, ISO450
