Great portraits as I've come to expect from you. Now I could say nothing and let this thread roll along nicely . But I'm sorry to say I'm really not liking all that fur. I'm not an activist by any means but I feel obligated to mention it.  Peace.

All fur is artificial there.

Portraiture of the samplery
2

In my opinion Your portraiture photographs are the samples of 4/3" format capabilities.

They strike me (and most people I know) totally because you have the depth of field control in order and the poses of young women usually are totally classic ones. On your gallery you do have more sensual ones, but still in very good taste and ain't "on your face" like many like to do.

I would like to see these in live via prints hanged well, like take 30 and put them nicely on gallery walls and hear people's reactions about them. And I totally don't mean pixel peepers and gear holics expression.

If these would be your only set, I would say just "well done". But as I know your gallery and your skill and talent level that speaks through it, it can be shown for almost any portraiture photographer how it is done via your style.

Kind of a cliché, if you ask me.

Thanks for sharing this latest group, I particularly liked the bokeh of the 2nd shot and the closeup details of her beautiful face.

By the way, have you considered updating your DPR gear list and add the lenses you are using?

These got so boring after the first 2 parts. Now part 12. Get a blog.

What is the point of this exactly now? Advertising? Low self esteem? Seems like American beauties don't need this sort of procuring.

The vast majority of us really appreciate these photos so if you are so bored you can simply enable the "ignore" feature that DPR offers you to use.

Yes. It is time to fix it.

Thank you! I agree with you: high quality prints produce quite a different impression on the viewer. I often print my works in large formats.
