--Quick Question for you: How did you give them prints? Do them yourself? go to a shop? Send them over the internet and having then delivered? <-- i am curious because i don't know how i should go about making prints for future clients!)

I used the ROES download at http://nettlecreekcolo​r.com/
They are semi-local for me and they came over & gave me a 2 hour tutorial on how to use it. You might be able to figure it out yourself just by playing around with it though, since you’re in Ca. I got my prints in 2 days & they look great.

Congratulations on your success with these great photos. I like all three, especially number 1.

might want to tell her to get her eyebrows re-waxed

picture #2 by far us the best, vibrant, picture number 1 is too dull, too much brown and the light shadow off her nose in #3 makes the picture seem unbalanced.

great pictures, you know why? They wanted more. I love #2, she just springs off the background. Good job.

nice job. good photos. btw, how old is the girl? I would have been too afraid to approach cause she looks so young. but she is a cute girl and the photos show it.

this all done by available light or you using some studio set up?

This also meaning that you will be getting your car serviced more

great work- i get asked quite a bit when i'm taking photos in clubs if i do model stuff but as yet haven't had the time! i really like the idea of using the model for some portfolio type work and then offering a free print with any subsequent prints being chargeable

you mentioned having her mother holding a reflector... was that for ambient light or were you using a flash?

Thanks. She ended up being 18 and signed her own model release. I actually thought she was younger... In the back of my mind I thought "if I do a really good job, maybe I can do her actual senior pictures." I think I’m more afraid of asking girls after reading this thread... Maybe I was just too naive to chicken out.

No flash... Just put her in shade on a bright sunny day & had her mom bounce back light with a silver reflector. I explained briefly to "use the edge of the light & not blast her so hard that she looks like a cop was shining his spotlight on her." I said, "just look for her to look pretty, not squinty."

Great shots! #2 and #3 are my favorites.

great images and good job on not getting maced!! haha... that approach would have definitely gotten me som heat... the girl has very very pretty eyes

Wow, a fellow Hoosier! Me too. What semianrs have you been attending? I would love to know. Also shoot me an email if you ever need someone to go shoot around with. I find my self wishing I had someone to shoot with as my husand is not so interested in my hobby!

e-mail to Kim... check.

I think for 6 weeks into the camera, you are doing a TERRIFIC job. Your homework is paying off.
