Hi all,

I've recently gotten back into photography after a year long rut. Previously, I had my 40D and was just learning the basics - shooting everything in site. Pretty ordinary beginner stuff. With the acquisition of my NEX-6, I've gotten much more into portraiture, a field I want to specialize in.

I've already posted many of these images in the Sony section, but I figure this section would be better for ideas and advice. I find this forum to be a lot more dedicated than most photo forums out there, hopefully you guys can tell me something I haven't heard before :thumbup:

Without further ado, here are some of my portraits:

After All by I.Cherkasov, on Flickr

I'm looking for advice on everything from posing to toning, although I realize that most of it is artistic choice.

Basically, I'm trying to develop my "look", so to speak.
