Working with off-camera flash, as taught by strobist.com. I can see that I need lots of practice to perfect.

I worked on this photo over the weekend and I thought she looked a little mysterious.

Oh those eyes.

In my opinion, there is nothing like window light. It just makes everyone look good and the beautiful (like this gal) look spectacular. This is not to say that artificial light is not wonderful, too, but I just love, love, love window light.

I processed this one a bit more than I normally do because I wanted it very tone on tone except for her dress. I did use Topaz to bring out more of the wonderful texture in this old building.

Here's a shot I did for an Hair Stylist. She does some wild things and wanted to show off some of the things she can do.

I had the opportunity to participate in a photo shoot at Preston Castle (an abandoned boy's home...see previous picture) on Saturday. The place is old and falling apart. The windows are huge and filthy...perfect for natural light portraits. This beautiful gal reminded me of a Rembrandt painting.
