My mother was not happy with the senior grad portraits my sister had, and I agreed to try and re-shoot it. I've been kind of behind as I was waiting for a better backdrop, but backdrop outlet failed me, and I realized this was the last weekend before she went off to college for me to try.
Anyway...
I had a better head tilt in another shot, but the color cast of my Takumar I failed to fix.
Strobist style w/ two sunpak 383's. One on the right, silver umbrella, 1/2 or 1/4 power. One on the left, shot through white umbrella, 1/2 power of whatever on the right (can't remember, I just remember the difference).
both approximately 45 deg to the subject, and just over head level. right umbrella a little further away. Yes, below is my makeshift "studio" heh

only minor exposure correction, and some dulling of the shine on the nose and lips (still there, but not as harsh).
I didn't want to use two flashes, but I could not get a single flash to work for me. Although, thinking back, I'm guessing I should have done a single one higher and more in front?
Aside from posing, and the obvious lack of proper space, any comments/suggestions?
