Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

My first time in a studio using flash lights. The assignment was lowkey and highkey portret photos.

Personally I like the results. I love taking pictures of the beauty of a woman without mutch attributes.

Let me know what you think, I can handle critisism:)

I like the shots. Studio lighting can be a lot of fun to work with.

For the lowkey shot I may have added a reflector on the far side to add a little of light to fill in the shadow across the face. Wouldn't be much but just enough to lighten up the eye and cheek bone a bit.

Here is one from a shoot I did last weekend. The Marine is getting shipped off to Afghanistan next month for his first tour of duty. They haven't actually had a wedding ceremony yet but they did get married at the court house. They plan to do that when he gets back.

This was shot with 6D, 1/100 sec, f/8, ISO 250 at 84mm on the 70-200 f/4. A 600EX-RT was camera left in an umbrella controlled via the ST-E3-RT on manual mode. I want to say it was 1/2 power but I don't remember exactly.

First try at newborn portraits, and what better subject than our new baby? :D

This is Sulien, born April 25th, 2013. He was 6 lbs 12 oz and 19.5" at birth...hard to believe he's already two weeks old! His first portrait shoot (of many) was on Tuesday, in an owl-patterned sleep sack and hat that my wife knitted.

Congratulations John. Beautiful shot of you beautiful baby boy.

Wow, off this site for awhile and you can sure miss a lot! Sure glad I stopped by this morning and saw this post! Congratulations John to you and your family! He is adorable and the girls must be so excited to have a baby brother! This portrait is perfect and your wife did a fantastic job on the knitting of his little hat and sleep sack!
