Lisa, Outstanding as usual. I like 1, 3, and 5 the best. I think she looks best when she is making eye contact, perhaps because she has beautiful eyes.
I hope you are doing well and have a blessed and very Merry Christmas !
Very Nice! #2 is my favorite, oddly enough I crossed an identical bridge this afternoon. Very nice capture. Will you share the secret of having cooperative children?
Welcome back.
Jim
I'm glad you came back to the forum. Your pictures are always inspiring. You have a very attractive daughter for a model. I guess it runs in your family. Have you ever posted a picture of yourself for us to compare?
Those are beautiful and so are many on your website. I do have a question about women and photography. I have a lot of friends who "like" many women photographers on Facebook and the one thing they all have in common is they use only natural light and many will not even use reflectors. Why are so many women afraid to use lighting? Maybe afraid isn't the right word. Just curious
Thank you so much guys! I did get lucky with some cute and willing (usually...haha) models.
RE women and natural light...yes, I've noticed that as well. In fact, I used to be one of them until you guys here pushed me enough to where I taught myself OCF. I'm no expert at it but I can pull it off when I need to and it's been a lot of fun to add something new to my bag of tricks. I've also noticed the opposite in regard to male photographers...some of them (just speaking generally here) seem to think that if a portrait wasn't lit with XXX lighting equipment, it isn't really a portrait. I've come to the conclusion that a nice little mix of both is nice. I'm still primarily an available light photographer, but I love the look I can get incorporating OCF as well.
