College Grad Pics - 04-13-2009, 03:37 PM


This gal had me do some pictures for a custom grad announcement we are going to put together for her.

These images are proofs... final touch ups not yet applied for blemishes and stray hairs.

The color images look a little flat here... not so in photoshop.

Thanks! That's one of my favorites. As someone who photographs primarily children I really have to work to remember all the "RULZ" for posing grown ups! In one way it easier because they can (or should) hold still... but in another way it's more difficult because they tend to be more uptight in front of the camera!

what lens are you using...I'd grab something a little longer and then zooom in to flatter her nose a little in the head shots. shift the lighting to add a tiny more shadow to one side or the other of the nose.

This is a 24-70... I do have a 70-200... you think the length would be more flattering to her nose? Thanks for the tips!

I really like the black and white ones the best and her eyes really grab me in the second one...
