Portraits

Shots I've been doing for different school projects, figured since I haven't posted much here lately I'd give it a go.

Nothing new here as far as concept:

Took a lot of waiting for him to look in my direction:

Pissing around in the studio which is pretty alien to me:

186 - well whatever you say about concept i like this photo. it's a good one.

193 - shame about the out of focus end of the gun - i find it distracting.

196 - is that a torch concealed in the hat? i like it.

Its actually another 550EX flash lying inside his hat, fired using pocket wizards.

clever clever. would have been cool if you played around with the idea of light from the hat a bit.. at least, that's what i'd like to do... heck, i might try it out some time. lol.

I like the first one, the exposure is perfect and the sparks add alot, but its a little too centered for my liking. Cool shot.

I really like the use of depth of field and the expression on the guys face in the second one, no distracting background, the gun tip is a little bothersome but only becasue the yellowish thing for me.

Third shot was an awesome idea, I like how it came out, would look really good in black and white. Never seen PW's used inside a hat. Good planning.
