My Second Senior Session
I was very nervous about this session. The senior is my bosse's daughter. He is a great guy, but it is nerve wracking to have your boss for a client. Fortunately they were very pleased, but I am interested in your feedback. I want know how to improve. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

Thanks. Is everything too dark in #9 or is it the ambient or the flash?

Hi Dave,
Nice work as usual.
1, 3, 5, 8 and 9 are my favorites. In 9, the flash looks a little low.
One correction you can try is to use levels and move the right slider left...and you might want to mover the middle slider a little left and the left slider a little right. Of course this will effect the entire image. In levels try 19, 1.11, and 187 as a starter and adjust from there. L-R. See what you think.
Good to see you here again.
Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

Thanks Jeff. It is Fort Macon and is at the southern end of the Outer Banks in NC. I have been dying to shoot there. I could never get my family to go and none of my clients requested it. Now that I have some photos to show, I will begin recommending it. How could you tell it was a fort?

I could tell necause I have been in enough of them to recognize the overengineered (for strength) brickwork.:D
My MIL used to live on Skitaway Island in SC. We toured one near there on a visit years ago. I don't remember the name, but it had very similar brickwork for the batteries and armouries. Near Savannah.
FWIW.
...and I know some folks have a fear of white attire for portraits.....
I think a lighter change of clothes could have produced some stellar results. A light khaki.....and or white perhaps. Then expose so that her features provide the strongest contrast in the frame. Think high key.......sorta....
I think it woulda worked great with the light colored brick and some pushed exposures. Something to at least consider next time you use that location....maybe:D

Thanks for the suggestion. I love your example. The fort is actually about five minutes from the beach I shoot at, so if I can talk some of the clients who want beach portraits to come to the fort they will already be dressed in white.

I think it would work great.......just PUSH the exposures!

Thank you. My boss is a great guy, but it was nerve wracking to photograph his daughter.

No, he does not mind me moonlighting as long as it does not interfere with my day job. I have also ended up doing most of the photography for my employer, a hospital, in addition to my role as Director of Environmental Services.
