C&C Portraits

[ImKosher]

Took some new pics over the weekend for a client, just wanted to share my experience. I'm starting to lean towards Portrait Photography. What do you think? Thanks again everyone! Here's a couple B&Ws

These are minimal PP, just increased the contrast. Also a couple blemish brushes.

Very crisp looking as far as focus goes, but the crop in #1 isn't doing it for me. I can deal with having some of the head cut off, but having the eyebrows cut off hurts the photo in my opinion

IMO the lighting in #2 is super harsh, but besides that i think they're good. i love #1. good job!

Why landscape instead of portrait?

If you want to do portrait photography, why shoot in landscape? I find the orientation of #1 bothersome but don't mind it in #2.
I agree with iNick, the lighting on @2 washed out the detail in the wall. You could adjust the tone curve and decrease the highlights to get some of the detail back.
