Portrait session with Karen

Welcome and thanks for visiting! If you like what you see, you can subscribe to my full RSS feed. Also be sure to check out my Portrait and Dreams galleries. (This message will disappear on subsequent visits.)

I just finished editing shots from a photo shoot I did with Karen-current UC Berkeley student and grad school applicant extraordinaire.

And I’ve been playing with a cool piece of equipment that I recently got-an Alien Bees Ringflash. These shots were lit with the ringflash at various settings.

While I can’t say I’ve completely mastered the use of ringflash, I think the results I’ve been getting so far are pretty good.

And getting someone as photogenic as Karen to model for you doesn’t hurt!

    I really like your work clean and nice.
  • These are cool! The ring flash really helps give them that Vanity Fair fashion look. Nice job.

    She is beautiful. Love the fourth one (second horizontal one). Have fun with the ringflash!
  • Thanks for the comments so far!

    Hey...great images. What image "treatment" did you use on the last 2 images? Looks like a cross processing effect. I really like your work.

  • @delane- Indeed, those have some cross-processing treatment going on. I'm glad you like it :)
