First family portraits

[lartamax]

My first attempt at family portraits all cc welcome.
Set up was backdrop with Artic white paper and 2 Elinchrom D lites.
1 light on the background and 1 on the subjects.

#4 and #5 are great shots John, just think you need to work on your post processing. I'm no expert in masking but there's no depth in #1, it just looks like you've cut the image out of a magazine and stuck it on white paper.....there's nothing wrong with a few shadows . A few level adjustments will work wonders mate.

noticed you are using PS...hope you don't mind as you have the edit button ticked...I just gave this one a little tweak with levels, applied a little sharpening and noise reduction (via noise ninja plugin)...

Thanks for taking the time to comment much appreciated. I would agree with the post processing part as it's something I need to work on. Finding my way with photoshop and Lightroom.

Not in the least appreciate the editing it has made a real difference to the image.
