Babysitter portrait
I asked our babysitter to come over this morning so I could photograph her for my portfolio. I have been trying to put together a portfolio and realized it would be nice to have someone over the age of 10 in my portfolio!
I asker her to come over in something formal if she was comfortable in that. I asked for something black or white and she showed up in this! I knew I needed her hands to be doing something and my husband gets the credit for having her hold a single red rose. I also shot some photos of her with her hand resting on the back of a chair.
I hope those black 'ribbons' on the bodice of her dress are not to distracting? I also tried out my new background: a large peice of felt from the fabric store which I could hang anywhere. I like the felt and it comes in a dozen different colors, it's 72" wide and $4.99 a yard. And it doesn't wrinkle!
I am ready to start immediately because this sweet young woman is going off to be a camp counselor in about 4 days. She's coming over Thursday so I can do a color study of her from life. I would appreciate any comments at this stage before I progress. I think these photos are about the best reference I can get so I hope I don't have to reshoot. I wouldn't know how to make them better myself but welcome any ideas if anybody can tell me.
thank you,
Joan
