Will these images be printed?
I ask, because printing will expand the contrast, and the hot spots in images #1, 3, 5, & 7 may block-up in print.

nah, just web! That's a good tip though. Are you saying to optimize for printing i'd have to bring those highlights down? (I left them so washed out, because that's the style they like)

I do like these images, just one question, why the high ISO?
Cause the light was much darker than the images look, and I was just using natural light.
Plus, I think that it doesn't really like that noisy at all.. it looks pretty good for 1000 to me

They look very good for the higher ISO but take your first pic at ISO 500 and shutter speed of 3200 and second at ISO 1000 and shutter speed of 4000. They could esily have been taken at a lower ISO which, so I have read, gives better colour saturation.
I am not trying to say you are wrong for what you have done it's just something I wouldn't have thought to do myself and want to learn more about others techniques so as to improve my own :)

Wow, did you eat all that? Breakfast sure is sounding good right now. Like the half muffin best.

Your lighting is far too harsh. Try a couple of reflectors - pieces of white card will do - and experiment. Use a tripod, aperture priority and an aperture of f16. A low ISO will improve your image quality as well.

But i don't want to be shooting at F/16 on a tripod. They want artsy blurry backgrounds and blown out highlight, so why whould I shoot at F/16?
As their client, i'm going to get that look for them.. Everywhere that's supposed to be in focus is (i hope, with a few exceptions) Thank you for looking though!

Yeah you're right. I'm looking through my image and I went as low as 500, and as high as 1600. I could've easily brought a monopod too. Next time!

Izza- I have a question for you. I assume when you clicked "download" you were able to see the High Iso. When it's loading on your screen, does it seem especially noisy until it completely loads? On my computer, it looks like it was at about ISO 6,400 before finished loading then it all smooths out. Just curious
