    I have no idea what a bkgs and a PLM are but those photo's are stunning. I look through a photo magazine I get and I always notice one writer that always makes the women he shoots look cheap. Another in the same magazine make's them all look elegant. These are well withing the second group. I love good portraits but to many look posed to me. My favorite's are 2,3 and 4. The other's are just great!

    GREAT SHOTS! Customer should love them.

    bkgs.....backgounds
    PLM..... Paul Buff's parabolic light modifer......umbrella

    For me posing is the name of the game. Life style shots are posed or given direction to an extent otherwise you get a less outstanding product.

    Thanks for the cc. Always appreciated.

    I would say the only one that the background doesnt scream fake to me is #4. #5 has a nasty glare on it that is very destracting to me. I think the lighting is great, but maybe try and get them farther away from the background?

    I agree on some of your issues. I've never used these types of bkgs before and need to experiment more with subject distance and light source. There is a definite learning curve. Thanks for the comments.
