I am not a big people shooter.....street candids are one thing, but trying to do an artful portrait shoot is not what I tried to do much. Did some outside and then some inside with a new off cam flash/umbrella set up.

I would love your C & C so I can improve.......:bow Oh, and thanks :D

    White balance looks off in the first one, whole image has a yellow tint. I like them all as far as composition, not too overly "posed"...

    I have the same issue with my daughter.... have her bring a brush next time for the stragglers!

    6 and 9 are the ones I like.

    Just more proof I need an umbrella or something.

    I'm pretty sure #1 was supposed to be like that - desat and vintage look?

    I think it's a nice series - she looks a little uncomfortable but I can't blame her - our kids HATE it when we take their pics, and they just aren't natural. I think its a kid/parent thing!

    There's some minor things, like on the inside shots, the white spots on the floor.

    #1 and #6 are my faves.

    On a final note, I think if this was done for another family, the mom would treasure them... I hope you can look at them like a "mom" instead of a photog! :)

    Yes, #1 was processed with the desaturated photo look.

    Actually, I am very happy with this set, I just got in a 2nd umbrella today and hope that my lighting is better, but for black felt tacked to the wall in a 10x10 office, I am pleased with the results.......I just know there are ways to improve and love to learn from others.

    Oh, and actually, I just look at them like a happy dad, but mom likes them too rolleyes1.gif Oh, and I might point out that I am happy with these also as I did this in complete manual settings AND used Manual Focus, the fact that I got all these great shots makes me feel great!

    #6 is the winner! she looks very forced and awkward on the train tracks.

    Awkward......yes, forced? headscratch.gif definitely not. Thanks for the comment, I also thought #6 was the winner of the day.

    maybe uncomfortable is a better word? when a subject is not comfortable in front of the camera it can really show. in #6 she looks like she OWNS the stage!

    Overall I like those shots very much. I would experiment a bit and try to also shoot some frames from a lower perspective (outdoors) so that the horizon is placed below the subjects head (say waistlevel?) to remove some background clutter and create a sense of open space emphasizing the subject a bit more.

    D'OH! Disregard the comment about #1. Looks great now that I've realized it was PP'd that way... OOPS!
