A K U R I Photo Gallery by Manuel Libres Librodo Jr. at pbase.com

A K U R I

simple yet elegant
fragile yet strong-willed
quiet yet persuasive

words i can use to describe Akuri's beauty.
she is a dream subject.
she tamed the heat of the sun.
she lulled the spirits to sleep.

Thanks to Akuri for allowing us to capture her soul
And to Lawrence, the husband, for sharing to us the delight
of photographing the beautiful Akuri.

Some think photography is all about the light..but as always with your work, it seems you see the light in relation to the dark, which is what makes it so powerful. The balance between. Great gallery indeed.

Colors, process, compositions, choice of settings, are very good

Watching this gallery grow in terms of both images and comments has been fascinating for me. This is the first time Akuri's pictures have appeared on a gallery other than mine and coming into this shoot I was both excited and a little apprehensive about how it would feel to see shots of Akuri that I had no control nor part in. Apprehension is perhaps overstated however as excitement was the overiding emotion. I believe I know as well as anyone your ability to pull out the beauty from a model and display it in an unmistakable way, having seen it first hand on many occasions. Anyway, now that the dust has settled, I'd like to add both my thanks and my applause. I beleive this is a shoot different from any other you've had. The use of wide angles, the dark and grungy processing, the unique points of view and that unforgettable light - you brought these all together to create a vision that I'm proud to say I was there to witness with you. As a gallery it is inspiring. Amongst the individual images, well lets just say that some of these rank among my favourite of your shots, and among my favourites of Akuri as well (which brings a wry smile to my face given that I've had years to build a collection whereas you had merely hours :). I'm glad to know that you felt it was of a similar success and look forward to when we do this again... Bring on Bangkok :).

Scary series. Like one of those Japanese horror movies, The Ring. Great expression on the face which is almost bordering on nothing and yet there's a subtle mystery behind those eyes like she wants to tell you something but can't : )
