Isn't the third one a bit Oof ?
...
Yes it is, now that I have a more attentive look. :o
Cheers Ali :)

I loved the way the lamplight was falling on him. He looked so cozy and comfortable and, maybe, I'm confusing the sweetness of the moment with a good photo? Is the light alright, here? -

The only thing I would do, would be a different crop as I think the one you have used is rather too tall and shows to much of his arms without any special interest.
I cropped the image and rotated it a bit.
I think you were standing on his bed shooting from above, taking advantage of the light from the lamp. Sometimes - not to say, often - new and creative angles are rewarding. :)
He is a nice young fellow :) -

I took some pictures at a Father Daughter dance as a courtesy. I lost some detail but I really like this picture.
I guess it would be a candid as he wasn't posing but I caught this look of adoration on his face as she hopped up on his lap grinning.

24th February 2011, 04:14 PMMario XavierRe: LucyI like it but I don't know if I like the extra space on the right. (personally). I think a tighter crop would look better (to me).Quote:

24th February 2011, 05:22 PMSahilRe: LucyI feel the negative space is fine. But her expressions are not good enough for her website. Her eyes look tired. It appears as if she was forced to sit/stand in front of the camera. I hope you don't take me wrong...Quote:

However, the lighting is just fine and perhaps you could use some kind of reflection on her hair. Have a look at the teaching lessons here by Colin. They are pretty useful.
I am not very found of studio portraits in fact. :o
I love canvas :D:D
Thank you for posting here Mario. :)

I think I like the wider crop myself - except for the background color. I know this is entirely a matter of personal taste. I guess since I have so many bland colored walls in my house that I am tired of looking at them in photos. You could easily change the color via lighting and/or a blanket/curtain etc.

24th February 2011, 07:06 PMCroveanRe: LucyYeah she was pretty tired when she arrived at my house. It was the only schedule that we can agree with.Quote:

But I see what everyone else is saying too when I compare. Nevermind me, I'm still reading about space and composition. -

Told her to take a rest then re-shoot so here's the updated portrait.

But she told me, she didn't have time to rest so I use Photoshop to make her look like she did. :D -
