Pretty Senior Before The Rain

Didn't get a chance to do what we planned today. Was a dull, grey day with rain imminent. The light just wasn't pretty enough to do what we had planned. Decided to concentrate on head type shots and come back to do the scenics when the light made the landscape pretty. Here are a few we snuck in just before the downpour.

Input ALWAYS appreciated

    2 & 3 are really pretty! Possibly a little heavy on the glow/softening, but your usual lovely work. You exemplify "traditional" portrait photography and do it well!

    Wow, good thing you didn't get to do as you'd planned, because these are lovely! #1 and #3 might be a touch overdone with the smoothing, but I'm sure she likes them! Really, just beautiful. I'd love to see the new ones with your ideal lighting to see what you do.

    I like 1, 2 & 3 a ton. #4 appears a bit washed out on the skin tones but this is an uncalibrated monitor.
    I'm basing it on the difference between 4 and the other 3.

    Why thank-you! Look forward to having some good light and the time tomorrow morning. Kind of excited cause I'm going to try some things that are new to me.

    Thanks Mister! You're most likely right. I didn't touch that one tone or color wise.



    This is a mono version of one of the shots from that morning. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about it bothers me. The eyes maybe? Hot spots? Not quite sure.

    Wut choo Think?

    Well, since you put it like that, I'd say the teeth are oversharpened or something. They kinda jumped out of the image at me. And maybe you could tone down the brightness in the part. Other than that, Wow.

    #4 and the mono just a tad too bright....4 tad too much fill flash and the mono highlight side too bright. The rest are just great.
