brandonhamilton Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Just thought I would share a few photos from an informal/fun portrait session I did with my girlfriend last weekend. It was a nice day, not much else going on, so we headed out for an hour...<br><Br> <a href="http://brandonhamilton.com/portraits/rachael/3/">relaxed photo shoot</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beepy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Lucky guy + great model + cool lighting = solid portraits.<p>Given your access to such a model, I'd be curious if you can do portraits that reflect who she is - more interpretive descriptive work.<p>Nonetheless, nice way to spend a weekend photographing.

nicola inglis Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Which ones does she like best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonhamilton Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 She likes the first one, and the one of her walking away (second i think)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicola inglis Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think I agree. Some of the other ones later on (next to the tree) have some distracting shadows from the flash. She looks right into the camera and her eye contact draws the viewer in...did you coach her to do that or is she a natural?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauh44 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Mine won't let me show her face. Warning... there are naughty bits! But I must admit she's doing alright for just turning 40. ;-) http://www.photo.net/photo/4815687 http://www.photo.net/photo/4804518 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonhamilton Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Nicola, I agree about the shadows there on those ones of her behind the tree. I Think I should of dragged the shutter another 10th of a second, and used lower power on the flash. For me it isn't the shadow on her face (her face looks great) but rather the shadow from her chin, on her neckline. And for the most part, she does all of her posing all on her own. I help her with some head tilts and hair fall, but other than that I just shoot as we interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
