First set with my new camera C&C welcome!

Alright, so i just joined the Full Frame Army and instantly had one of my good friends and frequent clients contact me asking to do a shoot. So of course, i set one up with her that day and we got to shooting. This was a very quick shoot for her as her son was feeling a bit under the weather, so we just did it outside my place.

#2 is a keeper... the other two look a bit under exposed

Ya #2 was def my fav out of the set as well. I was still very new to the 5d body when i shot these. I can't wait to do it again

Making the full-frame switch is definitely a game changer.

Nice shots. Enjoy!

Highlights totally blown. In #2 too much fill in, skin is also blown. Who takes portraits against the sun ?

She likes that style of picture (very bright) so that is how i shoot her pics. Thanks for the kind words though :???:

@Steve5d thank you!

You can have bright pictures but shooting against the sun means that the skin is low contrast and grainy cause its in deep shadow and everything is really off color while the sky is blown out.
