And again portraits

Hi all, Two days ago I decided to take shots of my friend who got new haircut, and I hoped to get tomboy style. Please feel free to comment and criticize :) https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/380078_3684703167091_1043585470_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-...

Re: New Portraits :)

Hi Birma, thank you.
To tell the truth the light comes from Swarovski chandelier which was exhibited in the museum.

So no specific light was used, I just placed my friend near it and start taking photos :)

Re: Another attempt at Portrait

Hi Sury,

I am glad to see you're taking photos of your daughter. I would take photos using reflector. I think the dark zones near mouth are not needed, and what about using soft light, not the direct sunlight. I tried a couple of adjustments, I hope you do not mind :)

Re: New Portraits :)

Thank you very much for all the comments! I decided to post all three shots, because they differ from each other :)

I like the first one the most, and some of my friends loved the third one, though I agree, it looks a bit artificial.

New Portraits :)

Hi dear all,

I always want to come with new shots, but can't manage to take new ones.

These were taken about a week ago. It was hard to shoot when you do not have time, so I tried to make it quick.

Color shots were a bit corrected with Photoshop.

Re: Portrait, June, 2012

Hi Sury, I am glad you've started to take pics of your daughter.
The first one is nice. But I would advice you to take pictures with the window light, I always try to take pictures mainly with window light.

Re: Say hello to 'Gizmo' - our new Chihuahua

Gizmo looks serious in the second shot.


Tony, I love the lighting. Why don't you use it and take some more shots?

Re: A77 400 iso portraits

I also liked the first one.

p.s. I would like her to take off the gloves. It draws my attention.

Re: Portrait, June, 2012

Sury, I shot all these shots with Takumar 50mm f1.4 (manual focusing on my sony a55), so I can recommend you to have 50mm lens and shoot portraits.

Re: Portrait, June, 2012

Anne, An excellent capture of gamut of emotions that child is going through, there is that disappointment, that frustration, that anger at everyone because he was not told about the game, that sulking at his own to pay attention to events around him. Only a child can express all those at once becau...

Re: Portrait, June, 2012

Thank you very much Dr. Harout, Sury, Yildiz and Birma! You are always encouraging me. Sometimes I want to give up, and then I find strength to go on...

Doc, I really do not know what is PCA :) Is it good or bad to be a Portraitist of PCA?
