here is my first attempt at studio work with my daughter Anaïs. Does it look good for you?

I like the first one very much. Nice shot of a pretty girl.

Number two would be my favorite, I really like your lighting and expression. You've also held the eyes in good sharp focus.

Congrats,
Mike

I like them a lot, the second and the third one are really nice! Well done!

Number 3 works for me! Great shot. Is that the umbrella in her eye?

Frank,

They are all nice, but I am really drawn to the weird #3. I think this is a reall nice idea and well excecuted. It is weird, but the tonality is great and the composition reall makes it as far as I am concerned. Nice.

I love the third one. A great perspective! It works well in B&W, too, with nice tonality and lighting. My only nit would be the posted size. 550-640 pixels on the longest dimension (at about 150K) seems to be the standard around here. Personally, I'd love to be able to see each of the images on my screen without scrolling. Again the third one is really fantastic!

Cheers,
Hugh

I also like #'s 2 and 3. #1 would be nice also, but the position of her right arm looks strange to me. I think 2 would make a very nice B&W also.

Thanks for comments. I will have a try in b&w on the second one.

Great photos!

What were the settings/lens(es) you used for these?

Re: my daughter Anaïs.

Franck, These images look very good for me! Your daughter Anaïs is lovely. I especially like #3. I have never before seen a portrait shot from this angle. It is very interesting to my eye. Congratulations! Larry

Great work, The lighting is nice and brings out the natural skin tones and beauty. Looks you you know what your doing so keep shooting.

2 with a bit more dof and i just love that last one more please

Frank....i really like #2...when i first saw it...and before i read anyone else's responses - my first thought was that people would say...its too close, there's too much detail, etc....but that didn't happen.....Again....#2 gets my vote! Nice work.

Love the third shot... the black and white and the composition are a great touch.

Nice job.

Hey...where did the pictures go? I wanted to show these pictures to my wife's cousin. Your daughter looks just like my wife's cousin Alyssa when she was a little girl! Could you re-post the images or send them to me? It is really amazing how similar they look!

Thanks,
Matthew

Sorry for losing pics, i got some trouble with wanadoo. Here are they again!

The second one is amazing - just hypnotic. Beautiful work.
