Just catching up with this. Superb stuff.
Excellent advice Iain,You're welcome Anthony, I would say go for it, don't overthink it, and have a good idea of which settings you're likely to use for whatever effect you are aiming for. Shallow depth of field etc. it just takes something else out of the equation when shooting the portraits and you can concentrate on the engagement/interaction with your subject. Good luck!
Just catching up with this. Superb stuff.
Excellent advice Iain,
Not that I'd have the balls to try it TBH,
I get enough grief from our "distant cousins"
Ah so that's what it is, love eh?
Our distant cousins love you really Chris, they just have their own unique way of showing it!
Great set of shots, cracking work.
Oh balls! - Now I'm jealous in colour AND black & White.
Great work Iain.
Inspired by Iain I'm very tempted to start something very similar, you've given some great advice in this thread and thank you for sharing
bloody hell - how good are these - can you make anyone look good?
are they natural light - or do you use a portable fast set up?
Some great shots on this thread Ian, and these last two are well up to standard.
George.
I agree with everyone else, a superb collection of shots. I am very envious and would love to have the nerve to go out and do this. Good for you and keep showing us the results of your excellent work.
Haven't looked in for a while Iain but great to see you're turning in some great work still. Love that one of Chloe above, the lighting falls off just right below her cheek, and then those eyes are so engaging. I mustn't leave it so long next time!
Certainly and interesting set of individual - good project work
It's really interesting that you're using a 50mm lens. I have read so much on the internet about 50mm not being a good lens for portraits. You've proved them all wrong and I'll definately be using my 50mm much more from now on. By the way, how do you shoot: manual, aperture or shutter priority?
Hi there Iain, fantastic work/project, looking through these, there seems to be a age that you seem to prefer,or is this part of the project? or do you feel that this age group is more responsive to your project ?....
I am no portrait photographer or ever likely to be. I love this work by you Iain keep at it I say.
Blimey! look at the eyes on Chloe!
( And yes I did say eyes )
You could drown in those!
Another cracking set Iain
Another really great set of images Iain, with some spot on B&W conversions. I'm liking all of these very much but my fav' would have to be #1 (Chloe).
George.
That top one reminds me of someone, I can't quite place him though.
Another nice study Iain
