Kicker Lighting

This is a picture of my son writing using kicker lighting as the technique. He writes a blog on MySpace as The Wise Sloth.

My intent was to make the journal the focal point of interest in this picture which is why it is the brightest object. The composition element is the triangle composed of his arms and body.

Your comments are most welcome!

Portrait of Tallie Moore Bush

These are pictures of artist, Tallie Moore Bush.

She wants a picture to put on her website at: http://talliemooreartist.com/Home_Page.html

Our plan is to take some more pictures of her in natural lighting and also at her studio.

Any comments or suggestions will be most appreciated.

Isheta's Engagement Pictures

These are the pictures I took of Isheta for her engagement picture and for my portrait class. They are a very serious couple!

Comments Suggestions and Critiques Requested!

I am taking a formal portrait photography class this fall. Any comment, suggestion, critique, observation will be most appreciated. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings. I'd rather read something on GoogleBlog and have the opportunity to correct it before it gets put before my class and have the teacher give his oral remarks in front of everyone else!

Our assignments include Rembrandt, Open Loop, Split-Face, Butterfly, Kicker, Flat, Rim, Reflector, Broad and Short.

We must incorporate the following types of portraits into the final submissions: head and shoulers, full body, 3/4 body, profile, fashion, boudoir, glamour, bride, high key, low key, infant, toddler, teen, senior citizen, couple, family group, sports, theater, or small product.

Here is what I have taken for week 1
