just an observation, it's a pretty pic.

but the open collar draws my attention down and off the photo. in all your other portraits the collar is close in the frame. just an observation....really a nice picture.

Henry

I like the lighting on this one Henry.

The hair highlights and the light in the eyes make this portrait standout. Your work, as always, shows the time and effort you put into the composition.

Thanks for sharing and inspiration to us just beginning to learn.

Hi Henry.

Very nice! The lighting is very well done in your pictures. What lens do you use?

John

Anand Sankaran · Apr 7, 2004

Yes - it has been a wonderful experience - this week work caught up with me. I have spent lots of evenings with the camera so far. This weekend

I want your opinion here - sunpak flat panel flash.

Don't know much about such products but should be OK.

However, if you want to shoot portraits seriously, you would be better off using some Alien Bees.

I bought my studio strobes when my daughter was 6 months old because I wanted to keep photographing her. I never regretted that move although I had to sell off my Leica M4-2 with 3 good lens to finance the purchase.

Nice portrait!

There is one thing bothering me about it though. The shadows seem to indicate that the key light is up and camera left, yet the catchlights seem to indicate it's up and camera right?

Can you describe the lighting setup you were using?

Hi Henry,

That is a beautiful shot, of course the subject itself helped a lot to make it a beautiful photo!

Do you have any favourite lens(es) for taking portraits? I like to buy the Nikor 50mm 1.4 as a (cheap) portrait lens, is this a good choice?

Thanks for any advice and looking forward to see more,

Michel

I wonder if she might like to have her complexion smoothed out a little. Nevertheless, top notch buddy!

Great job once again, Henry. The hair light really makes this image stand out.

Thank you for viewing.

I'm shooting these days with the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. Most of the headshots are around 110mm ~ 165mm.

I think the 50mm is a little short and may have some facial distortions if you are not careful.

Suggest you use a zoom (I'm a convert, was always skeptical about zooms until this 70-200mm arrived) because that way you can adjust to suit the shot wihtout zooming the tripod and camera.

Regards,

Henry Goh

With every new shot, I try to improve and I hope I'm able to continue doing that otherwise I would get bored.

How's the weather now in the Midlands? Should be getting better for photography. I was living and studying in Brighton for a couple of years back in the late 70s and had many good memories of England.

Regards,

Henry Goh
