Daughter with Christmas bokeh c&c

[reznap]

Took some photos in front of the tree with a softbox and reflector.
Was pretty happy with them for the most part... wish I had more various stuff to share here but I really bought into photography mainly to photograph my daughter.

Any and all comments welcomed, thanks!

#1) (would have rather had the tree/lights in the background rather than a chair - but I liked the picture anyway)

#2)

#3) Some RGB curves changed a bit, etc... I know the skin tones aren't "correct" but I wanted to edit at least one for a different look.

I'm so jealous. :thumbup: (That is my C&C)

I think the first two are great but the last one is too overexposed for me. Overall though they are excellent.

I love the last one. It has an old faded magazine advertisement look to it.

ReTrO!

Your awesome. I enjoy photography for the same reasons, I have 4.

IMHO the first one, the light washes her face out.

In the 3rd, the pp looks retro.

Your client is amazing, create a tumblr for her at this age, and post your comment as to why you do this. She will thank you one day, when you hand her the blog over.

Think that happened from goofing with the curves...

This is almost SOOC:

Thanks for the replies!

I like this one much better. It has the same retro fell to it without hurting my eyes so much. I also forgot to mention that your daughter is very photogenic and brings a great energy to your shots and I think you captured her energy well.

Very inspirational work here.

#3 is a good catch.

First one is over exposed & the light in her eyes distracts from the image.

I don't think the first one is overexposed. (but take a look at my photos to see what I'm comparing to, I like BRIGHT, HIGH CONTRAST, Saturated...)

I think it is perfect for a child photo.

I don't see any areas where it is blown, I can even see detail in the white part of the hat.

Very cute. I am with Ron, I dont like the catch light on the eyes. On close ups like this, I really think you need nice round catch lights on the eyes.

 

[Robin Usagani]

catch light like this Rez.

I actually like the squared off catchlights better schwetty.


and CC per requested.

Great set Rez, I too wondered about the catchlight in one. But they don't bother me that much. It doesn't look overexposed really it just looks hawt on the one side a tiny bit not enough to bug me. Love the last one. Its a great keepsake. Ok wtf is Tumblr? Gotta go a googling.
