Studio Portrait of Emma

[Barry Keavney]

Myself and my girlfriend finally managed to get a small studio set-up in the house, due to a job coming up at the weekend...anyhow I got these two shots tonight, which I really like. I never really considered myself to be "into" the whole artificial studio light thing, but after a couple of minutes behind the camera, I realised just how great it can be...Enjoy

Nice ones Barry and a great idea to glue Emma to the ceiling!!

How about cropping the second one square to carry the symmetry through?

Cheers Pete I didn't really think about a square crop, I'll definitely give it a blast tonight and post it. I'm really happy with the first one, the PP consisted of colour adj. and nothing else. Thankfully, this has reinvigorated my passion for photography as I was becoming quite despondent with it recently. Expect more posts...

Looking forward to them Barry. I'm in a bit of a lull myself at the moment and desperate to shoot some film. Will replenish all the chemistry in the darkroom in the next few days and pull my finger out.

I know that lull feeling. For ages I almost hated picking up the camera. It seemed as though every shot I took was pure rubbish. I could put it down to stress or moving or any number of things, but things are finally starting to look up, and with that so has my enthusiasm for the camera.
I hope you manage to get your liquids soon and look forward to seeing some of your stuff again
