Jordan

Jordan's senior portrait. Neither he nor his parents had anything fancy in mind, so we did the standard stuff in his back yard. 1 is mostly retouched, the rest are not. C&C welcome, thanks for looking.

5 - His parents dragged out his GRANDFATHER's senior portrait to show me, so I insisted on getting this pic:

Uncanny likeness to his grandfather! Would be interesting to get him dressed in a similar outfit and comb his hair into that cowlick up front for an updated comparison.

Great set, lovely detail and colors....resemblance is so spot on that it is almost scary.

jmphotocraft

Thanks. Yeah the cowlick would complete the look, but I gather from fb that he would need to use some product to achieve it, and so he doesn't.

That first photo is great. Just the right amount of relaxation. Nicely done.

These are very well done, Jack. I love the execution in #4, a seated shot, but you got down to his level and elevated him giving him strength rather than diminishing him. Even the ones where you've shot down at him are not excessively so and actually emphasize his broad shoulders. If it were me, I would touch up the zits though. They are ephemeral and only exist day-today, so aren't important to his identity.

Last one very very good.

Great set especially the first 3. Love the attention to lighting patter on the face and use of bokeh.

1/5 for me. WOW he's a clone (he must get so sick of hearing that, poor kid )

jmphotocraft

Thanks all. It's nice to hear this from accomplished photographers from whom I have learned. So you can all pat yourselves on the back too. kdog, right, 2-5 are not retouched yet. 1 is. This was noted in the op. I was pleased with 4 too, especially since the pose was my idea, but I think 1 is my fav.

Hackbone

If you didn't pose him it gives credence to the adage that guys have to lean on something.

very nice, especially the first three.

#1 is great!
