Hey y'all. Finally had time to do some portrait photography during the weekend

The first plan was to do it outdoors but plan went belly up when the sun hid behind the trees so moved it indoors. Explained to my friend anything goes cause I haven't had experience doing this type of shoot. Played around with flash and distance. Probably the most frustrating part of the day.

Anyway here are some. CC appreciated

For the tech heads:
Black fabric as backdrop. Had my friend stand 1 meter away from it.
Canon 30d with a 70-200 2.8 IS
Canon 550ex mounted on a tripod triggered wirelessly by 580ex MkII

excellent first go!
what lights were u using?

Thanks Devine.

Natural light flowing from the window and the 550 Ex with a bounce card to soften the flash. Triggered wirelessy.

My only regret was I didn't write the flash setting down so I can't do a repeat performance

Very classical and very dramatic. Nice work! I would keep pushing this line aiming to hit a masterpiece!

Whoah! A comment from Poon! That made my day

Wouldn't been able to do it with the excellent copy of the 70-200 2.8 IS you sent me

Thanks!

No.1 for me.

Very classical look, almost black and white film (movie) era type stuff.

Thanks Virgal,

Yep I agree. Number one has had similar comments from friends and family. Very film noir.
