Portrait Photography...

[Pruddock]

Howdy All!

I've really been enjoying portrait photography over the last 2 years and there are TONS of snake photography threads on the forum, I thought I'd start one for you to post your portraits on! I know we have some very talented photogs on the forum, so don't be shy and if you want to share settings and set up feel free to as well. I'll post some of my favs from my past few shoots here in a little while!

Those look great! I love the makeup on the little girl in #1

Here are couple of bridals I did this summer. I just shot another set this past weekend but can't post them until the 17th (don't want to break contract and have to wait until after the wedding...)

Keep 'em comin! I love seeing other people's work

Great lighting on that first one GoldTop! I love the shine that separates her from the background on her hair

Beautiful photos! Payton - I had no idea you did some wedding photography as well. I have shot a few for friends - will actually be shooting my stepbrother's wedding on 10/10.

This is my friend Amber who models for me occasionally to practice on my portrait photography:

These next few were from my friend Nicole's wedding last spring:

I have more on my home computer I will try to dig up tonight....

Skip,that second and last portrait are PERFECT! I sooo wish I would've had a photographer for my wedding.

Eddie,I've always loved that second portrait.

Katie,that second one is great!

Those are great Katie! I really like the one on the motorcycle! Is that blur in camera or via PS? You better keep 'em coming. You know how much I enjoy your photography :crazy01:

Here's a few more. Gotta love my sweetheart and her red shoes!

Some engagement shots from this year...

Blur was done in photoshop. Had a lot of fun shooting that wedding - just great people with a real sense of adventure! Hoping I have as much luck with how photos come out on my stepbrothers wedding as well.

I'm sure you will! Are you working with flashes at all? I got two strobes around Christmas time last year and I've becoming a strobe freak. I almost CANT work without them anymore lol.

Just the one on the camera (which is actually busted right now) and one cheapo external flash. I rented a Canon 580EX TTL from borrowlenses.com for the wedding though. Recommended to me by another friend down here who is a professional wedding photographer.

One of my fave pics that I took at a friends' wedding was of her youngest daughter. She was just walking past and I raised the camera without even really looking. I think it came out awesome.

Some more for you Payton...
This is my friend Amber again...more in next post of Amber and her adorable kids.

Trinity is the older girl and Taylor is the younger one. The 2nd pic here is one of my all time favorite shots that I have taken.
