    Sometimes b&w photographs suggest the tonality of a charcoal drawing but #4 is like a beautifully rendered pen & ink. Very inspiring!

    Thanks all, these gals were really fun to work with and to boot they said they had a great time at the studio. At times I wonder if I'm too anal or old.

    If anal is what brings out these amazing photos, keep it up!!! Never too old.... (I hope).
    FWIW, what really drew me to #4 is that it feels 100% casual yet perfect lighting.
    The other are "just" wonderfully posed and lit... :D Your clients should be thrilled with the emotion, variety and quality you bring to the table...

    Great Series
    Wonderful series. I really like number 4 as well. You are never too old and being detail oriented is what produces the wonderful shots. Yes there is creativity there but to bring it to life so perfectly, that is the details that shows your mastery of the craft.

    Charles, I've been thinking about this one a lot. I think the difference between #4 and some of your other - always technically excellent - work is that the technique is completely transparent. For instance, in 2 & 6, I'm quite aware of them having been "posed" - they're good poses, the kids look terrific and the shots are nice, but they have a kind of static quality to them (not always a bad thing - the classic, still, formal portrait certainly still has it's place in the world!). Even in #1 - despite the movement - I'm aware of a "fixed smile" behind the hair. But with #4, I feel like you've caught a piece of something else. Any photographer knows there's tremendous skill in thr lighting, crop and conversion og #4, but the resulting photo comes across as all about her, rather than anything to do with the photographer.

    Not sure if this rambling makes any sense at all, but fwiw. I do love that shot! thumb.gif

    Diva...4 was still posed but I guess when someone asks you to mess up your hair and put it on top of your head while mom is watching and wondering where you are going with this can bring out the devil in all of us. ( thank goodness for a little bit of the devil )

    I do have a problem with alot of the photos here that are spontaneous but lack posing and lighting. They look more like snapshots to me. I have seen alot of spontaneous shots that are techincally posed and lit. I guess you gotta have a little of all three.

    Thanks all for your kind comments.
