A pair of brothers who run a local biotech company (CEO and COO) were looking for website head shots and profile shots - not something I typically do

Thoughts?

They have plenty of different framing options available, this is just the crop I like most.

Lighting was a three light setup

Genesis 200 in reflective umbrella directly to the left hand side of the model
Genesis 200 in a Nova 22 softbox behind the camera, to my right
580exII right behind the model with a blue gel (two shades on purpose) onto a white backdrop.

Shot with a 7D and my 70-200 f/4

Client is happy - I'm just wondering if there is anything I could be improving on if something like this comes up again!

Im the opposite.

I can imagine these pictures on a web page and how they would work, and I like it. It would fit well justified right. These are useable for web for sure.

Whiten his teeth?

I'll play around with that - I didn't think they were off enough to need much attention, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the feedback folks!

Without reading the responses, my eyes immediately went to the teeth begging for whitening.

I'll play around with it a bit later ... I hadn't really looked at it as an issue - they aren't exactly yellowing and falling out - just not "Orbitz white" - it's entirely possibly cultural, I've noticed Americans are obsessed over white teeth (teasing slightly, I'm British and have lived in the US for 7 years)

I agree with the whitening of the teeth and try to add some fill light in the eyes of the first one maybe, seems a little on the dark side? Great shots tho mate.

Holy crap. I just realized that these are two entirely different people. Almost spooky how alike they look.

Tell me about it ... when I was editing them down and doing the skin smoothing, I had to remind myself which was which by looking at their hair
