Abbey

Trying a new post processing technique and looking for comments

and feedback. Thanks for viewing.

Will, Abbey is so darn adorable. This is an awesome pic. Excellent capture!!!

Leanna:O)

Will, excellent as always! I think the lighting and composition are fantastic. The expression is absolutely delightful.

IMHO the right eyebrow is too blurred though.

Best wishes

Will - I think this is great technically. Her eyes are sharp and her skin is soft which is something that I often strive for with my portraits. I wish she was making that expression more in your direction versus mom or dad's but I know how hard it is to get them to look at you when Mom & Dad are doing their best to get the children to smile. Unfortunately when they do smile, they are doing it for their parents versus the photographer.

Lately, I have actually asked some parents to leave the room and let me try working with the children alone. I have achieved some great results this way but it definitely needs to be done with the right kid and not one that will have a melt-down.

Will,

How cute is this....such a natural expression! I LOVE her hair. Your post processing is amazing. The catch lights are great! What type/shape of softbox are you using? Thanks for sharing this it made me smile! Sandy

Thanks all for your comments.

Sandy, thanks for the kind words. I'm thrilled that you mentioned my post processing on this shot because I used a new technique I never tried before and I guess it works. For the lighting I use AlienBees. On this shot it was a large octabox as the key light and an umbrella as the fill.

Perfect capture of a delightful little girl!
