Swartzy · August 26, 2009

Hi gang...yep..busy as ever. Rachael was fun and we were both exhausted by day's end.

#2 Of course, she wanted way radical gunge...mom naturally wanted beauty shots...LOL

#3 So, to appease the masses...I did both with creative collages

#4

#5 Something different

#6

#7

As you all know...shooting is a blast and exhilarating. Thanks for looking :lust

I really love #6

Your professionalism really comes through in this series. There is so much to see and I learned a few things.

No. 2 bridges both worlds (mom's and Rachael's) quite creatively. The colors of her outfit are just right and I like how you posed her.

While No. 5 isn't my style, I think it's wonderful. It's such a joyous indulgence for a parent.

No. 6 is a portfolio shot to me.

Nice work.

Ditto on #6.

The expressions in #5 is great (the one really faint one near the top isn't so great, but it's really faint).
In #4, I don't like the pose of her straddling the board.
#2 is clever.

Thanks for sharing, I like seeing your work. Did you use ambient + fill for the outdoor shots, or did you bring along umbrellas to get the light where you wanted it? #2 looks lit from off-camera, the collage in #4 I'm less sure of.

I love #6!

I like #4, all the poses are very flattering and her dress which looks odd to me in 2 looks great here.

Sorry to be redundant, but #6!

Heheh..thanks everyone....I guess #6 is the most favorite. I knew the series of shots as they were taken would be nice. I'm a bit partial to a couple others in the studio as the light is quite dynamic. All these shots outdoors were using an AB800 w/beauty dish, mixing ambient with strobe. The most challenging efforts of the day were posing and vantage point to complement her. I'm certain they'll be pleased. We had a fun day together. Thanks for the kind words.
