I'm new on the forum and wanted some feedback...Am I worthy to be in the professional corner? Here is just a few of my recent favorites. I don't have a studio now but someday... So indoors I work with whatever I can manipulate. Thanks for the feedback!!

You have some wonderful shots! What equipment do you shoot with?

 

[pixeldawg]

I like your shots too... Nice work here, particularly the flower and ring shot. Never seen anything like that and it's a great idea.

Thanks for the compliments! I shoot with the canon rebel. Its low-end for pro work, I know, but with little kids at home and only wanting to take a few jobs a month I decided to wait a few years before upgrading.
Yeah, the ring shot...I had finally wised up and gotten an assistant shooter giving me more time to take special shots like that.
Oh, I'm doing some maternity shots in a couple weeks...Anyone have some great sources of inspiration?

 

[JaimeGibb]

Do 'maternity' in the search section of the forum. I've seen some really nice work on this site

Very nice shots! I think you're well on your way. It really doesn't take a serious camera to create good photos.

Great job with such a "consumer" camera...can't wait to see what else you do!

Consumer, prosumer, pro, no difference, having good glass, the ability to alter shutter & aperture and a "good eye" is what makes a good photograph, a D3X etc with a crap lens and an operator who can't use the camera in the first place is not going to produce good work. H

I like the tilt on the first picture. The "V" from the kid's shirt and the natural "V" from the upper right corner give it a bounding box. Cool effect.

These are great. I agree you are well on your way. Exposure, composition, etc, all perfect. Beautiful images.
