Hey all,

Never was my thing, but after reading through here and the G&N pages I was inspired and thought to give portraits and people a go.

It doesnt take much convincing to get my girlfriend behind the camera so I'll be doing it more and more as I had a ball doing it. I would like some tips on what to improve for the next time, lighting setup Im still new on, and felt I missed out on lighting the eyes on a few....
Setup is two speedlights and shoot through umbrellas.

wow! superb job here! #4 is my fav, #2 looks too tight for my taste but that's just me.

Lovely shots, i just think the light needs to be balance - ie one eye is light, one eye is dark. Maybe try using a relflector?

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

That was one of my dissapointments about the eyes too, I'll try the next one with a reflector
