Two Teens!

I never know what to call these shots. They aren't senior portraits, they're just a set of teenagers!

So on this one, she wouldn't sweep her bangs out of her eyes. I personally do not like the hair in the eyes thing, so I cropped it for a little artisticy style. Is okay or no?

on the outdoor ones, I used natural light with one reflector. On the studio ones, I used one light with umbrella to the right, and a reflector opposite that. Then my fill light is a large softbox immediately above the camera.

any other thoughts?

Thanks for the lighting info, I enjoy doing oudoor portraits and am working on getting even lighting like you have

They are great by the way! Eyes are very sharp! Any one lens used for most or a were several used? Thanks

my new baby that makes those awesome eyes is a 50mm 1.4 I've had it for about a month, and it has made such a difference for close up shots. Crystal clear!

The third shot and seventh shot are my favorites! Nice work!

I'm loving number 6. I love the tilted composition. The track leads you right to the subject, great shot!

Good work as usual TC... I'm not sure I'm fond of the bisected face in #2. I think the concept is good, but for me, I'd prefer it right down the middle....
