p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Father's Day studio shoot, 1st attempt


Hello all.

I have been stalking the people forum for a while. I am trying to improve on my people photography, both outdoor and indoor. I have recently purchased a studio set up and am using my garage to get going. I have been shooting mostly landscape but more recently have been asked to work with headshots and family images. I thought I would use Father's Day as an excuse to get my kids dressed up and cleaned up and try out my lighting. Any and all advise is welcome on how I can improve.

I am just beginning with the studio lighting and people really so I am open to suggestions on ways to improve.

I used 3 lights in this set up, one main light was an umbrella, a hair light, and a background light.

Thank you,

Mike

Looks like you nailed it. The lighting looks good and most importantly, your subjects are engaged and posed well. Very nice work!

Hey these are really nice. I like the lighting and processing, just right for these beautiful children. My only critique would be to crop tighter. I want to see the kids not, in this case, all the empty space above and below.
