 My friend's sister wanted to do some headshots for a portfolio. I wanted to build up my people portfolio so last weekend I wound up setting up a shoot with her. Since most of her shots looked the same, I wanted something different and told her to hold the reflector while I changed some settings on my camera. Lies, all lies...I took a few snaps and was very happy with this one and another one.

This is eye-catching and I love the silver tones. There is something about the crop that I can't put my finger on...maybe a little lower? Both sides are fine as is the top, but the bottom....???? Still and all, a nice shot and good luck.

Carrying your reflector, or is this a new lighting technique? Seems to work effectively either way. Nice lighting on the face, Interesting image
