Senior Pictures

Since I am still very new to the portrait side of photography and not nearly ready to charge for my services, I practice on family. Actually Krystan is the daughter of my son's ex-wife. They are still considered family since Becky and my son, Chris, always made better friends than spouses. Of course, the girls, Krystan (pictured) and Samantha will always be "granddaughters" in my eyes. So here are a couple of proofs for Krystan's Senior pictures. These were shot with the chromakey green background at f6.7, ISO 100 and 1/3 sec. shutter speed. C & C would be greatly appreciated as I would like to get heavy into portraits when I get my studio built. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

  1. Cool, great job extracting, wanna share your secret! :) The color looks in the bottom a touch pink, and a touch yellow in the first one - lighting looks good...Sweet photographs!

    Oh and yep I am waiting on a new camera, it was sent nearly 2 weeks ago...I hate the mail!

  2. Jane turned me on to the Photokey2 software. It's so easy to use, I love it. Too bad it is illegal to copy and share. Thanks for the feedback.

  4. I bought a disk on ebay. Here is a link to the newest disks by the same seller. I saw that it contained a lot of what I have. http://cgi.ebay.com/COMPLETE-DIGITAL-BACKGROUNDS-PHOTOSHOP-TEMPLATE-PACKAGE_W0QQitemZ190278689557QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPhotography_Backgrounds?hash=item190278689557&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1309 I bought 2 different disks that gave me about 4000 backgrounds to use. Most were drapes but plenty of options.
