Third time is the Charm

Here is my third attempt at Senior portraits. I think I found my new spot and poses.

Let me know what you think.

1: Pseudo film thingy is a neat idea, but I'd be a bit uncomfortable with the active railroad track…

2: He looks a bit unhappy to me… …perhaps that's just the "cool" look everyone goes for these days…

3: Looks more natural…

4: Looks even more natural; perhaps he's warming to the camera; but that wall on the right worries me a bit; I find myself wondering what he's just been doing behind that wall which is causing him to smile (almost a smirk actually… )

Nice job - I would think he'd be pretty pleased with those!

Nice work. The focus seems soft though, even looking at your originals on the web site. Are you focusing on the eye and then reframing? At f/2.8 you don't have a lot of margin for DOF. The first is shot at 1/1000s and ISO100 f/2.8 which seems like an odd combination unless you want him soft (but then make sure his eyees are the focus point). Did you do this intentionally?

Thanks for sharing.
