    Studio Photography: My first attempt

    Well, I have entered the world of studio photography. Here is my first attempt.





    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    Dude, nice shots. Like the second photo overall, something about the light and hues.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Does not look like a studio.... what lighting were you using...looks like a window
    and a white or off grey wall. The pictures are good but need to be worked over
    in processing.

    Not trying to be super critical but what equipment were you using and do you
    have any flashes? I would like to add some suggestions and help. Not looking to
    knock you down. For begining they are good. I really like how you tried to get
    the light and the shadow, shows you know what you want. Let play and really
    make them pop.

    More info please

    (My favorite line is when I am taking a picture in sunlight and someone says "Your
    flash is on". When I tell them I know, and they turn around in disgust thinkin I
    have NO IDEA when they have NO IDEA what I am doing using a flash in
    daylight..... For those who are confused, you use a flash to get rid of harsh
    shadows during sunlight shooting..... I needed to be told too!!)! ;)

    Once again, NOT MENT TO PUT YOU DOWN, this is what I and everyone else did
    when we first started, we learn..... and I have some neat tricks others have
    shown me, but now it is YOUR TURN!

    I think these are very good, and have more of an artistic look. When taking photos of people, there's a big difference in being artistic or trying to get something to look like a magazine.

    I think this is a pretty good start. Nice Eric!

    I know I told you in a PM that I was going to shoot some kiddie shots and
    have been feeling really bad that I never got to it and never showed examples. I did this shot (Little over exposed) but it was with 2 slave
    flashes and the onboard at the same time...in a perfect word, I would have
    another 2 flashes for what I wanted to do. These were taken in my
    apartment with no backdrop.



    hope this helps a little more....like I said, I am very much in the early stages
    of learning how to shoot with a flash, bounce flash and mutible flashes.... I know how it works and what to do as I can not stop reading....but like everyone knows, Experience and bringing it all together is the biggie. I am trying.

    (sorry I only did a quicke and should have looked at the histogram like I always preach others!)
