Thanks. Until a couple of years or so ago, I hdn't really done any proper portrait shoots, concentrating on nature photography, but this year, I've done more portraits than anything else (it's been a difficult year for me). A few weeks ago, I joined a site designed to get various creatives together, mainly for portraiture. Happy New Year to you too.Arctic Photo said:Cool, she has a great face and fantastic eyes. It must be fun shooting with her.Kernuak said:Thanks Ken. I'm actually in the middle of arranging another shoot with her, but just to keep you going, here's another from the same shoot.

I hope you'll be able tonpost some photos from the new shoot.
I have recently moved from one continent to another and don't have any models yet for my portrat shoots that I like to do so much. I hope that will be sorted soon.
Happy new year to you!
That sounds interesting, I hope you'll find a lot of inspiration. These photos inspired me, in fact I contacted a model I've used before where I used to live. I have already planned to go back for a visit in April, and now I'm even more excited. We talked a bit yesterday and we will hopefully use a very interesting setting.

Thanks for your comments. It isn't often as a photographer that you get told a shot of yours is inspiring. The lighting was actually very simple. It was a single flashgun, shot through an umbrella, held high (probably around 7 feet). Probably with more complex lighting, it would have lost the feel. I increased the contrast during PP, to give it a harder look and added some light grain (as well as the obvious vignette).Arctic Photo said:That sounds interesting, I hope you'll find a lot of inspiration.

Would you like to explain how your light setup was for thos shoot?
Thanks, I will be travelling half way cross the globe for my shoot and won't have too much room for gear, especially since I'm bringing my golf clubs too. I am new to using flash so I will put in some practice first go make sure I won't hesitate too much when I'm there. I will go in April so there will be some time before I post anything but I promise I will.Kernuak said:Thanks for your comments.
