7/10 Is that a candle lamp? lol

Maybe change up the scene a little. Instead of having the lamp as part of the focus have a small short glass there and the lamp just shining the light on the scene. Have it cropped in tighter and more focused on the book and exposed a little longer.

Love the bokeh and IQ.

Things that imho could improve the photo would be to have some back light on the back of his head (very little) as the back lighting on his head is great. Though the lack of this doesn't make the photo bad and it could just come down to preference.

The different lighting shapes in the bokeh is slightly distracting.

Thanks for posting this. I look forward to seeing your pics.

Thanks. smile.gif

I wish I could get some back lighting, but for the moment I only have 1 flash/ light source. I composed the bokeh light above his head cause I was thinking it looked like a light bulb like he had an idea pop in his head. He liked it so I kept it.

I should be doing a ballet shoot and another shoot with a MMA ring girl soon and well see how those pics turn out. worriedsmiley.gif

Here is, dare I say it, my momma lol.

Yep that's some candle lamp we had standing around. I'll give your idea a try when when it gets dark again, wonder how it'll out with an invisible light source. smile.gif

8/10 - Very well lit, could for me be improved by very slightly more of the head in the frame. I like the idea of cutting the eyes out to keep the focus on the equipment but just including half the nose seems a little distracting..

8/10 Cool area

Did some practice shots with my friend, there was absolutely no freaking light out when I did these yesterday. We're going to hopefully do some better ones when it is sunny out today or Friday. Oh and the Photoshop clone stamp tool is awesome!

just throwing this out there but your friend needs to learn how to model or you should have told her to open her eyes more. that shot is not at all flattering with her eyes like that.

What eyes? biggrin.gif

I kid, Looked okay to me I have seen much worse 'pro' shots where the model looks very uncomfortable.

EDIT: How were your flash(es) positioned and setup for this shot?

Yea, I know, that and how to smile! frown.gif

She liked it tho. We took another one of that one with her eyes open a little more and she deleted it before I could go over it. She also deleted like 40 of the pics we took yesterday when I was in the bathroom between shoots. She is not touching my camera next time. mad.gif

Basically just a 430EX II w/ 40" umbrella on the left of the frame about 3 ft way from here and 1 ft above her head angled down at her and a 43" silver reflector 2ft on the right side parallel with her upper body.
