p.1 #1 · Yoga Studio II

I was hired to do headshots, poses, and environmentals for a local yoga/pilates/dance studio. I took several styles of "headshots," but my personal favorites were the very close, straight-on shots, so that's what I've posted. All of these are for web, not print, so I have probably clipped highlights a little bit in skin tones (in post). I thought having some texture would give the shots a nice "organic" feel. My masking is far from perfect, as these are just quickie versions of my own vision for the shots, which the instructors may or may not like. Any comments or critiques are of course welcome.

Awesome! I love the whole series. As Canerino said, lots of variety.
I can't even choose a favorite. (:

Let us know if they like them!

They could do some pretty amazing things, for sure.

Fantastic series! I like the feel of both the color and b&w. That blurred image works really well in this series!

These are a great series, definitely conveys what the studio is about.

Lord I would be in traction if I tried half those poses\moves or whatever they call them.

Nice job, Todd. The B&W's are a bit tight for my taste, but I sure like the expression you got throughout the whole shoot. Wonderful.

Thanks to all for your encouraging comments.

Pfiltz, if you were to specify how/why you find them boring, I would be happy to consider your suggestions, and take them into account on my next shoot. You didn't mention any of the other shots. Not that you are required to, but I am curious if you have any opinion.

todd, this is such a great set

disagree with pfiltz on the headshots-boring? please-i think that's an absolutely rude and useless way to comment on peoples' work-if you don't like it, say so and explain why-i suspect, however, that he'd rather be snarky than helpful-makes him feel important-oh well, can't win 'em all-i love the expressions, well framed-like the poses/positions shots as well-the simplicity of it all works for the yoga theme, i think

the motion on 3b is very interesting-without those colors (her clothing), i don't think it would have worked so well-but together, it's a great combo

really nice set

Thanks for your kind words, Daniel, I really appreciate it. To be fair, I recently posted in one of Pfiltz's threads saying an image was boring, without going into specifics. I assume that's the only reason he even bothered to look at my thread.
