    Had a photo shoot today. The weather turned bad. Very overcast and winds over 20mph. Was unable to use the umbrella I brought. Had to use high ISO and low shutter.

    Finally got a chance to try theSamyang 35 as a portrait lens on my 7D, halloween dress-up party.


    ISO1600, f/1.4, 1/50s, and natural light (floodlight on the shed wall behind-right):

    Thank you all for you comments, they are very useful to improve.Richard I agree that the skin in this photo is very smooth, may be too much, while the light is passing through the arms naturally.


    Steve, thank you for the comment, I like to have the composition with the sight on the close side when the mood is thinking or sad. In this way I feel she is looking in her mind and not in the frame.


    This are another couple of shots.

    Thanks for the explanation Gian, I understand your thinking and it really works well.


    Love the tones in the first image above.


    The low key B&W above has beautiful lighting, a very intimate image, feels like the viewer is invited to share her thoughts, or wish they were. One of your best and I think my favaourite.

    Gian,


    I enjoyed looking through your website although my wife did not like me looking through it. Your lighting and posing setups are first rate. I do think the photoshop to the skin and face is a little too much. Just a hair too much but they all look great. I do feel the first one here is a little inappropriate for this forum. If I were to get caught viewing it at work I could find myself in real trouble. The second one is very sexy but ok for the forum. Please keep the link to your website though so we can continue to view your work.
