Once again, this is my daughter, Madison. She is trying on her new school clothes and looking sassy for daddy. I never pose her because... well, she never seems to listen to me when she's in front of the camera. ;)This was about five minutes into the "shoot" and she was just ready for daddy to be done.

This is a great shot you've captured here. The lighting is wonderful. How did you set this shot up, as far as lights used, and also the background. I'm drawn in to the area around her feet because there is a reflection. I'm curious what you used for a background that would do that.

I don't see this as a sports catagory picture. Maybe you posted to the wrong catagory.

What kind of studio lighting are you using for this shot? (I am looking into that big purchase as my next endeavor)


I used an Alien Bee B800 for this one with an octabox. Pretty basic setup.

I also think that you chose the right shot. This was one of my two favorites in this challenge.

this is clearly the best of the three- you chose well & scored well. The others would not have done as good- it's the attitude that make this image! :0)

Oh my -- quite a handful :) you and your model combined to show all the personality a portrait should have. One of my ribbon picks.

Some will argue that full body is not a portrait but doesn't bother me. Cute pose.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/17/2005 12:26:18 PM
Very sweet and professional looking, except maybe for a lack of sharpness and a lack of detail in the blacks (shoes, mostly). Very strong mood and excellent natural pose of the little girl.

Nice sassy pose. You’re young model already knows her stuff. Good job!

Very beautiful and cute young girl. I love the twist in her legs. Fanciful and candid. :) 10 An easy favorite of mine :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/14/2005 11:26:26 AM
One of my top 3...the spunk, the attitude! You can see so much about her in the portrait. It isn't cluttered by a distracting background and although her face is highlit, it doesn't feel post-processed (if you did, you did well) 10.

How cute! Love the composition and the colors.
High key really works well here.

Good luck in the challenge!

One word: CUTE!!!

Well, that sums up the girl and her pose and the look on her face.

As for the portrait ... Love the three dimensional lighting (visible in her face and hair and on her legs). Love the colors, they really pop. Especially against that white background. And what do you have her standing on? It looks like the surface is reflective... very nicely done.


Edit: This image made my top-5 list. GOOD LUCK!

09/12/2005 09:26:27 AM
What a cutie! Looks like she's really hamming it up for the camera. Outfit is cute, too. Pose seems a little unnatural and forced, but lighting is perfect and you can't beat that smile.
