Trying my hand at portraits again

Moogle Pepper

Meet Nicole. She facebook'd me to do some modeling! Sweet! Well actually she saw my ad on craigslist and linked that information, somehow, to my facebook.

In any case, we shot this last Saturday within the Princeton U's campus grounds. It was cold out. I learned some things, other than technique and model posing. Bring gloves that can change the camera's settings!!

C and Cs are welcome! I may have heavy handed the PP, although I do like the colors that came out from the PP.

We saw a left bike, which are a lot on the campus, so we improvised it as one of our props.

Just that it was locked to the gate.

I did some effects and PP on this one more than the others.

In 3 & 8 her skin and hair seem to have a little green/yellow tone. I like the colors in the background maybe just fix her skin and hair. I do like the processing to bring out the background.

I really like number 14. Maybe even stronger if you cropped out that left piece of window frame, and the end of the nook. The empty flower pot seems symbolic of something.

I think I like number 4 the best with a great depth of image and natural expression

In PLain Sight,

Hmm... good point. I am gonna go back to PP those to mask her and keep the background!

Leaforte,

Yeah! #14 struck to me as one of the best ones from the shoot! I will go back and crop the left portion!

Roentarre,

Thanks! It does have a great depth to it! It would have been slightly better if the bike was free from the fence..:D

I appreciate the CCs!
