Brothers

Took 20 images for a friend of the family. The boys are an absolute riot but so flippin cute. We managed farting, mooning, burping, professional arm pit music, and a fist fight. Lol. Shot with an XT2, 35mm f/1.4, custom chrome 2, Nissan i40 flash with home made modifier while contolled manually.

I am open for critique for advancing in knowledge. All shots are straight out of camera JPEG but cropped for printing options.

I have been doing product shooting for her (nail salon), she knows I am not a pro but continues to use me. I thought it was about price but she said, "you are more money" but "reliable".

I love #1 (but take a bit off the top), the stacking shot was well thought out, (but seems to be off color-wise), #3 is a classic portrait (but should be centered).

They look like a handful!!!! Great set, I love them all.

Do a mono conversion; those looks & hairstyles just scream 1955! Great job (agree with points noted by Gary).

That first one is just incredible. Great faces, great ears! But yes, crop from the top - maybe take out that sun flare to move the focus onto the boys? When I scroll down the minute that flare is out of the window the boys pop. Any chance you cropped at the bottom? It feels a bit too high to me. Just my inexpert opinion of course. That 2nd shot is nice but seems so much brighter and lower contrast than the others. Maybe tweak it just a bit in post?

I love the totem pole effect on #2

#1 is my pick for winner. They all 3 have unique and wonderful expressions. The smallest looks very mischievous.
