Two moods of a child

My personal model ... er, daughter ... was kind enough to allow me to try out my new reflector gear. Here are two of my favorite shots from the series.

I like how the different directions of the light help with the mood of each (although this was accidental in the second shot, I was having a hard time getting her to face the light source).

    Colette. The reflector was a Calumet brand 31" zip disc, using the stock white side (which is patterened with a little silver). In the first shot I think she was about 3 feet away, maybe a bit less. The second was closer to six feet. Shots were both 1/60th at f/4 and are unretouched. I have a bunch more shots with some commentary at http://www.frostbytes.com/gallery/portraits-2004.

    Nice lighting effects. Too bad mom wasn't around to clean up her snotnose first :lol

    I think it's more accurate to say "too bad dad was too concerned with his camera equipment to clean his daughter's face."

    When I get the chance I'll post some of the after-shoot shots where she was licking the spoon from the cake mix. Choco-child!

    The first pic is nice. Even if she has the snot-nose-thing going, she's a
    cute littel girl.

    Nice work on the lighting.

    Looks like you're getting the hang of it. The second one turned out well.
