Wachel

I agree...5!

Stunning work! My favs are 1,4,5, 6 with 5 being my absolute fave! Cool shoot....although she looks MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMUUUUUUUUUCHHHHHHHHH older than a senior (I'd guesss 25-30 from these! )

4/5/6 for me.

FWIW (season with much salt): I think what didn't work for me in 1 & 3 was the high lighting ratio, which is a subjective look thing which may be what she wanted as well -- they do have some of the old Hollywood drama to them, so in that respect -- very well done. I think that lighting drama (mixed with the extra color in the lighting) works very well in #6. I' not a fan of the pose in #2 her legs look very awkward.

Love 2 and also 5 and 6 are my faves from the bunch.

She's been acting and in theatre since age 12 and has many outfits, very artsy and musical. She does look much older but she's not. Off to college in the Fall.

This obviously wasn't one's typical, "here, stand next to the oak tree" type of shoot.... She was a blast and loves the drama and theatrical. Such a fun day.

Thanks so much for the nice comments everyone. Yes, #5 was a favorite the minute I saw it...even before processing. I have some more to work on. Putting her in a French scene possibly.

Looks like a lot of fun, 2 is my favorite.

For me, the first...and last shot really have IT.



Now.....go to the top of "people" and inject your $.02 worth in the Fill Flash discussion!!!

I like all of them BUUUUUUT I really like #6.......it is the lighting that i like so much .........Great Job!!

Fun, fun, fun! Good variety here. I like the dramatic lighting to match a dramatic subject.

Numbers 4 and 5 are fantastic, and number 6 is off the charts. I love the lighting on that shot.

What a week!!! New threads from my 2 favorite senior shooters

I agree with Jeff, the first & last one are wonderful!!!

Swartzy

Thanks so much everyone! Here's one I thought to put her in France...

Sachis2112

That's it! THAT's the one!!! They're all great fun but that is the one that I would print on canvas and hang in the family room if I were her parents.

Swartzy, love the variety of expressions. Great work but for me the ratio is too high. But that is a personal choice. A person with full arms is tough to do sleveless. Watch out for doing a senior with bare shoulders as in #6.....(hahah.)

LOOOVVVEEE the French shot.

Hehe...yes....I went for quite the dramatic lighting styles one these. I sometimes get bored with the "oh so even pretty light" but agree, could have smoothed it out a bit for some of the looks. Was playing with the gridded beauty dish quite a bit that day to create harder shadows. The bare shoulders..yes.., (remembering from your thread ). That's why I left a bit of her dress just below the hand visible to obviously show she was clothed.

The French shot I love as well. Thanks so much.
