My daughter has 2 cats, this one, Mercury and Nova a jet black cat. I have had a devil of a time trying to get good shots of Nova.

I was playing around in the basement when Mercury decided to come and observe. The lighting was from the studio lighting and camera hand held

I have the opportunity to sell this image to a local bar. It is in an old boathouse on a lake. They may want to put it up for public display. Now my question is do I need a model release? It is my understanding that one needs a release when the model is easily recognizable. IMHO, I think she is not easily recognized.

Any thoughts?

Nice shot I like everything about it, but...

Tattoos can be a very exciting enhancement for most anyone. Some look good and others not so good. However, I zoomed in on her tat. I think it is cute, but in this high key image I find it distracting. In this case I think you were trying to show case the starkness of everything. My eye gets pulled to it and I have to struggle to see her assets, her smile, torso and even crossed feet. I wonder if you should ever get a chance to photo her again if you could use shadows to enhance her beauty?

I was looking at a book in Barnes & Noble called: "Portrait Photography: From Snapshots to Great Shots" by Erik Valind. It's excellent. Most of the book is about doing outdoor portrait photography. There's also information about the do's and don'ts when it come to cropping photos of people. I thought I might buy it soon.

No doubt, the exposures, flash fill ratio and background treatment is excellent as well as the expressions.

What needs improvement as per technique, is the posing. Of course theses are casual portraits in an out of doors setting, however, some of the same principles of more formal portraiture can still be applied without creating a stilted or overly formal effect.

Just a few tips in this direction. Try to avoid straight on shots with the subject's the head and should at exactly at the same angle to the camera. The shoulders needn't be at exactly 45 ° with the head kind of twisted toward the camera but more of a “contra” pose is more graceful and flattering. Even in a ¾ or head and shoulders shot, the pose starts at the feet and legs. The subject's stance is important- if the leg and foot nearest the camera is extended toward the camera with the knee bent and the weigh is placid on the far hip, all the body mechanics fall into place and the subject can easily pivot in whatever direction you require. Posture is important as well. When the spine is at full extension the torso and shoulders assume a good carriage- in other words- no slouching! Believe it not- when the posture is erect, but relaxed, it is more comfortable for the subject and he or she can a pose for a longer time if required.The result will look perfectly natural.

Lighting- The sun is a good light source if you can move the subject into a good “portrait lighting”. In theses shots, the sun was probably directly or nearly overhead so you did achieve a “butterfly” lighting, however this widens the face and nose. The high angle of incidence has not lighted the eyes enough to produce rich detail and provide catch-lights. Usually later in the day, the angle of the sun can enable more of a modified butterfly or loop lighting or a kind of Rembrandt form. Another method is to seek out shade and more precisely control the indirect sunlight with a reflector or off camera flash.

Cropping- It is best not to crop whereby you cut into limbs or hands. Graceful placement of arms and hands make for better composition as will and direct the viewers' eye to the subject's face.

I hope this helps.

I like all of the pics here, however th second seems to be my favorite. The lighting is, to me the best, while the shadows create a wonderful feeling of depth(?).

However, in my very limited understanding if portraiture I thought it was advantageous, or excepted that the subjects very top of the head be cut off. I guess I am wondering if that idea has changed.

Does anyone in Hoggville have any suggestions for books on portraiture? I may be shooting a friend and her BF soon. This will probably be an outside session, around dusk. Or sun-up.

OK so I am always the contrarian here, I like the B&W—-Because of her eyes! I see better detail in her eyes in the B&W.

My 2 cents.
