First attempt at studio conditions

controld

I spent some time floating around the edges of a friend shooting some portrait shots for mutual friends, so I can't take any credit for lighting setup but man did I learn alot about lighting. Sadly, I now lust after a small studio setup of my own. :rolleyes

I took a couple hundred shots and walked away with only a handful of keepers - again, a lot of lessons learned.

Comments would be very appreciated. All the shots (15 of them) are here:

#1 - Mom and son



#2 - Different perspective on same pair



#3 - Same young guy in a new outfit with the pooch



#4 - A very apprehensive volunteer



Thanks for any feedback!

Hi Mike, even though the little boy looks a bit unsure of whats happening in the first two shots, I see you have managed to gain his trust.
Is he loving that dog or what
The whole series is very nicely done .... Skippy

I must say I'm jealous of your opportunity, even though I know I'd end up wishing for a set up of my own as well. I hope to be able to learn from someone with some experience in lighting setup too. Your results look very nice.
