Portrait taken of a model as part of a PSCVN photography class exercise...Yes she is that tall...I had trouble fitting her into the frame :)
The 5 members of my current pullip family :) I'm sure there will be more soon, but I wanted to take a picture of them all together with matching outfits!

Single Umbrella flash for key
Flash behind subject to one side aimed at screen to blow out background. I think I'd overpowered this as I'm starting to get get what looks like flare over the entire image.

Caroline came round for supper last week and before eating we did a quick series of photos - some in this wonderful silk (?night-)dress that belonged to her mother. As always with her, almost every photo turned out amazingly well (but some I shall have to check with her before posting). Here is a snap taken after we were running up and down the stairs (several times) which I thought made a nice portrait...
Tech. note: rather grainy because taken by very dim room lighting - my photo lights are now in France and anyway there wasn't time to set anything up. I slightly de-saturated this to minimise colour noise - it didn't help much but I liked the overall effect..
Day 24 of the 366 Photo Challenge
Today I got to photograph a real live person for a change!
I was at an excellent studio lighting seminar run by a photographer who was in turn trained by one of the best in the UK and I have to say it was a great day - learnt so much - worth every penny.
This was the 2nd shutter release of the day and is pretty much as it was straight out of camera - I haven't tweaked any of the levels but just tidied up a few stray hairs and tried to play with Photoshop to soften the skin a little - not that Aimee needed it as she is flawless.
So liberating to get it right in camera and not have to spend half your life correcting stuff in PS. I may go back and revisit editing this at some stage but I think in this case less is more and I may have done too much already.
For this white balance was set to manual 4760K, Picture Control is Portrait, manual mode (setting in Flickr exif data). It was a 4 light set up with the colour background coming from a magenta gel aimed at the mid grey wall behind, a large softbox directly above and in front of Aimee with a reflector just below her to fill in the shadows under her chin and nose, a reflector rim light high off to the right of Aimee and slightly behind, and a large vertical strip soft box to her rear left.
I'd love to say this was my own work - but I just pushed the button...
I'll upload a few other unedited shots from today's session - check my albums for Aimee.

Had the opportunity to shoot with Sandy, his daughter Shannon and friend Karyn today...they were very patient with us as we're working thru this lighting stuff....
After a day of making a website ordering business cards and promoting i was still left without anyone to photograph.. So why not make some self portraits?

The night was coming to an end with our group of street portrait photographers. It was time to sit, drink, eat and discuss our experiences that we had with our portraits. Luck would have it as we had decided to meet right outside a local Holland pub called "Big E’s". I saw a young female clearing tables and I approached her and asked If we (12 of us) could pull a few tables together and get some drinks and food. She said sure and we started setting up the tables. Then of course I thought, here is another opportunity for a street portrait.
Now I do not know how girls do this but I also have three daughters myself and they all do the same thing. As soon as you pull up your camera to get a photo of them something comes over them and it is instant smile and their best look. This was the same thing with Taliyah, our girl that was helping us. As soon as I asked her for her portrait and pulled my camera up and instantly she went into that look. She smiled, gazed straight into the camera, tilted her head a bit and BAM…..perfect portrait. I do not know how females do that but they all seem to know how.
Taliyah has been working for "Big E’s" for about 2 months and goes to a local high school in Holland. She was very friendly and made sure we were all set up and taken care of.
Thanks Taliyah for the quick portrait and the good service, and the drinks/food at "Big E’s" was very good.
