Jade (my niece) posing in my makeshift studio.
Lit by 3 direct lights and a reflector & shot with 2 flashes on a black backdrop.
This is one of a bazillion shots - hope I made the right choice!

My first foray into the world of portraiture in the studio. Wow... do i have a lot to learn.

Dammit ... another 8 ... isn't gonna help my standing in this challenge one bit. Crop to just outside her forehead (just outside the "e" on little) on the right for a more dynamic image and a score of 9 from me ... IMO.
