Nice work with great lights and backgrounds. Very much US style (great).
Interesting to see how taste differs from continent to continent, I used to live in Virginia ( 8 years) and so I am accustomed to this style. In the old continent one will very seldom find this kind of pictures. But besides that its a great series, especially the first one. Although the second has a great background and the last a lovely DOF
A photographer without a style, is like a pub without beer
I know this is just a personal taste thing -- but I hate painted backgrounds. For me, they only work when totally out of focus, like in #3 -- which is why I'm sure everyone above likes #3 the best. I much prefer plain seamless or slightly textured muslin. But clearly you know what you're doing. The lighting is dead on.

Thanks Brett, I agree on the painted bkgs but the seniors look for certain things and you have to provide that. Most of the things that bug us photographers doesn't seem to matter to the general public ie: double catch lights, small pupils, etc.
Stephan, can you direct me to a continental site that features senior portraits. I would love to see what the East does.
Charles, I would love to.. but we just don't have seniors...(well we do, but there is no tradition on portraits and proms).
Maybe a good time to start it....

I think the whole painted background thing started with the proliferation of the department store photography studio. The photography couldn't stand on its own so their marketing folks made the pictures pretty by emphasis on the backgrounds and scenes. Today's seniors grew up having the pictures done at these places with their "scenic" backgrounds and to them it's the norm. My theory anyway.
Charles, on your basic session, do you offer the same level of retouching as with higher level sessions?
