Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

Baker - Your shots are fantastic! I think another important issue here is that the photogher and model connect and work beautifully together. You obviously have a way of making her feel very relaxed in front of the camera! Very nice!

Thanks! I'm starting to realize that I don't need a $2,000+ camera or lens to take great photos, just practice [:)]

Yet all this could possibly be done with one cleverly reflected light - I think.

Hi Takahiro, I hope I had those number of lights at my disposal. :D But William's last thought/comment was correct. I used only one -- speed light aimed at the back white wall and added a silver car shade as reflector for the fill light.


Well done William! :D

Pro shots Baker! You have a very good eye for composition IMO and capture so much mood in your shots. There is a great "comfortable-ness" about them. Awesome lighting too!


@AnGelo: great capture, good pose and good lighting.

I agree. Baker's got that such feeling of comfort in the photos and that golden touch.

Another great shot Baker! I guess that would be a gold reflector you're using there. Color contrast is striking if I may say. [:)]

And another from me, fooling with some PP, not really knowing what I'm doing.
