High School Graduation

Great portrait. Looks like you know plenty about portraits!

I wholeheartedly agree with Suzanne. It is indeed an interesting approach, and I think you pulled it off well.

What's a 'tortured' teenager, anyway? I'm sure your daughter behaves much better than my son (15yo), who feels tortured when he has to take the trash out, or help out with the dishes. Your take?

Thomas......my daughter and your son have a lot in common She is a great and happy kid, but she likes the more hard edged portraits than simple, soft focussedhead shots.

That is a great portrait Mark. So well lit and conveys a really strong sense of light. Did you use a reflector at all, or was this just natural light? Great work either way!!!

We have an old building....actually a former sewage plant....on the lakefront. It has many openings where windows used to be, a and a cement floor. The background is a dark brown painted wall. If you go there on a cloudy day or in the evening, there is wonderful light there. I do wish I had brought a reflector, though for some of the other images. This area had perfect light with no help.
