Beautiful sights to behold. Thank you for sharing.

Most excellent!

Such an expressive face!

I would say at least 4 hours, if HMUA is involved and 3 if not. Many variables, though, including how chatty they are, how punctual they are, how quickly they change, how many breaks they want, how well equipment performs (and be all set up and fully ready to roll before they arrive), how well you know your gear, how well you have planned posing, how well they take direction or perform on their own, etc.

I'll also add an aside: If you don't have full mastery over posing, lighting and your gear, take a pass on this one. An actor's (or model's) success in even getting an audition at all can very well depend on nothing more then that head shot so it has to have "wow factor".

Beautiful road

The young ones are just so darned cut

I always say newborns smile when an angel whispers in their ear or kisses their cheek. Finally got my first newborn of the year! The others had all canceled due to Covid.

Thanks, everyone!

She wanted B&W silhouettes, which I had never done. Thankfully, she loved them so now I can add it to my repertoire.

Magnificent!

I realize everyone has (and is entitled to) their own opinions but, yeah, the internet, in general, would be a lot nicer place if they just kept them to themselves. So much discord is sown with senseless arguments and accusations that never change (nor should?) anything at all. I tend to try avoiding those types, and to take my own advice. It used to cause me so much rl frustration and I decided it's just not worth it. Life's far too short.

(but I'm probably still gonna grab a seat and make some popcorn as I watch this thread, lol)

Very cool comparison!

Wonderful imagery.

Lovely. It's photos like this that kinda make me miss the seasonal changes. Not much happens here in SW, FL. It just goes through various stages of brown, green and yellow, lol. Thank you for sharing.

Um, ew...so creepy. Very cool, though!
