Your photos are always so amazing! And to think, your garage. Just goes to show that it about camera gear. The eyes matter most, and you definitely have it! Thanks for sharing.
7a is a great addition --- I can't recall your using so much BW --- it really works well. What a remarkable set, I second the earlier 'one of your best' comment.
This is truly beautiful work. My wife and I are starting our senior work and this work inspires us only because it will be tough to achieve this level of greatness. Great images.
Whoa Lisa, you are on this forum? I love your work--similar to Adrian and Meg. #11 is maybe .5 stop over and the rest...are just beautiful with strong processing and lift in the blacks. Gorgeous work.
Didn't realize how active you were on the forums here, and I've practically deified you in another thread, asking about the "Lisa Holloway Look". I don't usually visit the People forum, so I didn't know. I should have just shut up and searched first.
One question... on #2. From what I've read thus far, you normally shoot wide open, but with the one girl behind the other, out of plane with each other... can you talk about how you picked a point to focus on, or stopped down, or whatever you did to make both pairs of eyes in focus?

The exif shows Lisa used a 85mm f/1.2 and shoot it at f/5.
Thank you all again! I focus stacked that image, focused on each girl separately and combined them.

Thank you for explaining Lisa. It didn't seem to me that f/5 could pull that off, which made me wonder if some layering was involved. It is quite clear that you invested a lot of attention to detail when composing that image, the way the eyebrows of the front twin arches and blends in with eyebrows of the rear twin... and other subtle details.

And focus stacking is not heavy photoshopping? You see, nothing wrong with admitting your work is far from "natural".
Hey you twins and a few of your images look quite familiar to Sam and a few guys on 500px I had the pleasure to browse just now. The site is amazing too some of us should check it out. Guess the world is even more photoshop than ever:
