Here, 5 minutes ago. I said: wait, wait, sit completely still... don't do anything. Life is good sometimes, isn't it? :)

Lloyd: Excellent "campaign" photos! I'd vote for him. Looks like his family's gong to be using the school district for a while. :thumbs:
Bob: Cool photo. Congrats. :salute: She's getting a lot of press today.
Jorgen: Really like the last one. Composition/color/angle - :thumbup:

Cheers, Matt

Lloyd, as I will never tire of saying; you are a master of portraits. When I look at them, not only I see elegantly and masterfully constructed art objects, but I 'see' how your subjects feel at that particular instant. This, I believe, cannot be achieved by technical and artistic mastery alone, it requires a 'way' of establishing mutual warmth between the subjects and the photographer. Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Thanks guys. Since we have started the day with a bird's perspective, here's one taken later today.

Took a quick stab today at fashion style lighting during the day. I had attended a lecture the previous night and figured I'd give it a whirl. I shanghai'd my favorite human model and set up in the backyard. Now, I own a pair of el cheapo Savage 150W strobes plus shoot-thru umbrellas. No dishes or softboxes. I could only get one light to fire remotely as the other light is optically slaved and it was too bright to detect the primary unit going off. Also, I added all makeup in post. I used some high fashion images as a guide. That's my excuse for the makeup. I'd like opinions on the shot.

No actual work was done on the hair, outfits, or anything else. I was just trying to get the "look" seen in some recent ad campaigns.

Jorgen: +1 on the unusual angle. Nice composition, too. :salute:

Carlos: Looks cool! Lighting, coloring, post make up works for me.:thumbup:

Thanks guys. The fellow who taught the class billed it as a workshop but it was more of a lecture and he wasn't really prepared for it. This class is part of the Shoot Miami chapter of Meetup.com. The seasoned photogs (I guess that includes me) were able to glean some useful info, but I'm afraid the newer members were a bit lost. As an educator, I have to say he did not make it an easy class. Unlike the fine classes taught by Jack & Guy.
