IPbF37, traditional media, 1970s \(photojournalism\), CCD Effect, Kaija Lehtonen,
Photograph Kaija Lehtonen in a quiet cobblestone courtyard filled with pastel hues and climbing roses. This full-body portrait captures her standing with her weight slightly shifted to one hip, her hands loosely clasped in front of her. Her expression is soft and inviting, with her brown eyes gazing directly into the lens, creating an intimate connection with the viewer.
Kaija’s outfit features a pale pink lace blouse with a high neckline and pearl buttons, paired with a light mint-green pencil skirt. Her legs are adorned with pastel yellow hold-up stockings, paired with open-toe sandal heels in a clear material, revealing a soft pink pedicure. Her dark brown hair is styled in loose waves with a Lolita-inspired headband featuring delicate floral embroidery.
Shot on a Hasselblad camera with an 80mm lens at f/2.8, the image captures the intricate details of her attire while gently blurring the courtyard’s background of pastel-colored walls and blooming florals. The lighting is natural, with a soft overcast glow that complements her pale skin and enhances the pastel tones in her ensemble. The composition balances Kaija in the center of the frame, with the textured cobblestones and floral accents providing depth and richness to the nostalgic scene.
