Random portraits thread

Kind of - it looks a bit off compared to the stuff you did with Jenn, which from you is a bit surprising. I thought you'd have more subject/fill lighting in the shadow than foreground if you know what I mean

Edit - pull mine apart if you want, I still cant shift the hue probs

I really like this shot. I love the way the curves of the arches frame the subject.

Andy, I didnt use any flash last night just some reflectors instead. Was just a.) too lazy to use flash and b.) fancied just to use reflectors

eta nice shot andy

Thanks, here's another. Lit with spots as I've developed an aversion to softboxes. I'm buying a beauty dish this week I think

Love the photo, hate the make up (IMHO)

A portrait shot I took back in 1987 of a school friend.

Taken with an Olympus OM-2n using Ilford HP5 film and self-developed. Scanned from the negative a few days ago.

bit of an impromptu shoot yesterday. Vicki normally does very edgy alternate stuff, attracts weirdo's she says so wanted some nicer stuff for her portfolio





and for Andy here is what was used sparingly, the light was just fantastic without it

I really like that last shot with the umbrella in view, adds extra interest to the shot!

I simply love the narrowness of the depth of field of this pic - how the background and the very foreground are out of focus, but the subject (dribbles) is crisply in focus.

glad you like it Jon



the effect works well like this I think

She's very pretty. Has a hint of Amy Lee of Evanescence about her, for some reason.
