How is the lighting on these shots? I am practicing portraiture and would like some CC.
Thanks.

Looks good.... I would try to separate him more from the background... unless that was the look you were going for?

Nicely done. I like the first one a lot. Awesome job handling and glare off the glasses! For a shot like this I think you did a great job on the lighting.

I respectfully disagree with Eric's CC. You could not really seperate your subject from this background anymore than you have. The seperation is excellent. Great job on avoiding reflections in the glasses, thats something that many people overlook.

If Im picking out something I think you could change I would say its DOF. Either decrease it so it looks deleberatly shallow or increase it a little more so his ears are in focus. But thats just a uber nit pic. The shot is a good one. I prefer the first over the second.

Thanks all, I guess I need to build confidence in what I do. I have been studying and practicing real hard. This is a 4 light set up. 2 White lightnings, camera left and right with umbrellas, background light and a hair light. I am doing a small business shoot of 7 people and I am very nervous. Thanks again for all your time.
