Love the third one, you got enough light on her eyes to make them pop really nicely. First one seems the most awkward for me, probably the posture/head tilt that's throwing it off. Second one is neat for a headshot, I'd be happy to have a picture like that.

Cross post from PAD because I'm a whore. A little tableau of my friends bohemian lifestyle, tried to process this like three times and I ended up starting again three times. Still not 100%, think I need to bring the window down, the lack of detail in the far wall bothers me too. EDIT: >:(

What's going on with her toe? To contribute: Natural light   And something a little different:   The photo itself, especially composition wise, is weak at best. But I'm proud of my postprocessing. I actually have a tutorial up on this if anyone is interested.

She wanted to do a fashion show or something. I just told her where to stand and to do whatever she wanted.

TomR all of those are really good, but I especially love the second one in that post, just the way her head is tossed back with her hair up is such a great capture.

You've managed to avoid any dark shadowing of people by other people - what's your lighting setup like? I did a similar shoot with my own family when I was home for Christmas with two umbrellas like this:  Family portrait lighting setup by fuglsnef, on Flickr Here are some of the results:  DSCF0131-Edit by fuglsnef, on Flickr  DSCF0269 by fuglsnef, on Flickr  DSCF0262-Edit by fuglsnef, on Flickr  DSCF0284 by fuglsnef, on Flickr Two of those have had their backgrounds replaced - something I did while I was learning - can you tell which is which?

Haha, this was a very challenging shoot. a) it was shot in their kitchen and it was VERY cramped. I brought my backdrop and stand but there was no room.  grace_family by francography, on Flickr This shot in particular was the hardest. I had to clone out a door frame and old linoleum floor from the bottom of the frame. Some people might notice, but i think it looks pretty good overall. I used 3 lights, same set up as you, with a light in the back to light up the background since all the people standing near the back were casting a shadow on the wall. Lots of shots ended up with people in shadow but i arranged them to minimize this and asked them to scoot forward when they needed to. With the adults it was easy, but getting the adults set up while the kids were still interested in taking photos was.........hard. The before:  351B6910-2 by francography, on Flickr My 3 light set up worked for everyone and all the group shots except this last one  somnambulist fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jan 13, 2013 |

This is my friends family and I didnt NEED to do this amount of post, but I hate sending off work that im not happy with. I feel....dirty. This session only got me 150 bucks. Oh well. I'm hoping I get some referrals out of it and I charge much much more for on location portrait sessions :-p Usually with friends I charge about this much, but lately I've been reconsidering this philosophy. I could be making much more money. It's a good thing I have a real job because im horrible with pricing myself as a photographer.

Yeah, it's either or really. but it's a nice start. the greys make it all a bit flat. I did a quick mock up because i'm hella bored but imgur won't upload it.  online photo storage Forgive me for the quick body shape too, I've been editing all day and it's instinct at this point. She didn't need it at all.

Yeah, I was debating on that for a while actually. I ended up leaving them in just because I thought the jackets might look odd without them, but I should reduce the highlights on them to make them less noticeable. And while I'm here, might as well post some little people:  IMG_0281_web by Breanne Unger, on Flickr  IMG_0027_web by Breanne Unger, on Flickr

I'd fix the red/magenta feet in the first one. Otherwise, well shot. Second one is lit and processed well, but for future baby shoots you may want to consider putting the baby's right arm UNDER their cheek/chin. This would have allowed you to see the whole face, versus having it partially blocked by the arm. Source: I've photographed hundreds of babies. Judging from the size of the kid, I'd place them at around 3 months or younger (though I wouldn't be surprised if they were a newborn,but my god, what a huge baby then). After about two weeks of age, it becomes harder and harder to pose them as they sleep, so this could have very well been your issue here. To contribute:

Paragon8 posted:Out of curiosity why did you choose to frame this horizontally? Honestly, horizontally is just my default. Why? Probably because most of the visual mediums we as an audience are exposed to today are closer to this framing than a vertical one. Or maybe because it's closer to how we actually see as people? Not sure... That said, I think the photo itself lends itself the flexibility to be cropped as both.
