The poses are really nice. I think...Not bad at all. The poses are really nice. I think you are getting good practice working with people, and your subjects certainly look like they were having fun. The one of the little boy alone is great.<br /><br />Some comments:<br /><br />I think most of them are about half a stop underexposed — the one of the mother and daughter in particular. <br /><br />I think your umbrellas were a bit too far away from the subjects. The shadows are a little too well-defined, and the falloff is a bit too abrupt. <br /><br />Next time, try pushing one umbrella so close that it''s almost in the picture, and then use your second flash bare at low power for a rim light.Jim Royalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055890093400186033noreply@blogger.com
