I Don't Do Portraits!

Paul Iddon

And they say never work with (animals and) children.

This is my lass, wanting to be photo'd.














All taken with natural window light.

Second one is a real winner!

I like #2 as well. MOst of these would have been great if the depth of focus weren't so shallow. Not sure what you were using, but your 50mm F1.8 would have nailed them down pretty good at that distance at F4 to 5.6. The background would have still been nice and blurry.

I don't see photographs, only blue squares with question marks...

Oops, I was too quick... They loaded. I like 5 and six very much. Great face. Love the close in composition, the eyes are really sharp in the last two.
So I don't believe you if you tell me that you don't do portraits...

Nice work...
I think I like #5 the best, though I do think the mouth is just a bit too cut off by her arm...in terms of exposure, focus, and composition though that one's my favorite.

Good work.

I like #5 the best too! It's very classic looking to me, like it could have been taken years ago, and her eyes have more pop in that one, I think. Pretty little girl. Keep practicing with her and you'll be a portrait shooter in no time!

Thanks everyone.
