Resource photos




These are a few photos from a recent photo shoot. Which one of these, if any do you like? Haven't been here for awhile, have been painting murals.
Thanks,
Alicia

Poses

Alicia -

I love the pose at the fence. The body has some wonderful lines in it. Can't say I like that striped shirt, though. It takes attention away from the face.

My vote is for the fence as well - nothing appeals to me in the others.

I like the upper right one where he is sitting down. I would slide him slightly more to the right. He seems more the center of interest in this one and it's more intimate. I like the angle of his head the best. The first one is nice but more figurative than portrait like.

Thanks Julie, Kim and Marvin. I am still on the fence about this one, pun intended. I like the pose of the one witht the fence, but I don't like the light on his face. I agree with Marvin about the sitting one, the light is better and his features are better visualized.
Glad to hear from you Marvin, hope all is going well for you. I see you finally got a digital camera too.

Alicia

I met with the Mom today, the sitting one it is. Will also do the one by the fence as a sample to take to a gallery where I have some other things.

Hi Alicia!

Long time no see! I also like the seated one the best - very nice personality showing through and the 3D quality will be nice - the background should push back nicely.

Good luck and I hope to post here again soon!

Denise

HI Alicia,

I am with Marvin and Denise here.

The first one is really cute, but from experience, I can tell you the perspective in his right arm is going to be more difficult than it looks.

Is this the little guy after the hurricane?

Hi Denise and Beth,

Good to hear from you. I may have to email you as I progress on this one, if you don't mind. Been a while since I did a portrait.. Finished some murals and FINALLY will get to purchase a digital camera. I'm drooling over the Canon EOS 20D.
Yes, this is the little boy that I was supposed to do when the hurricane was blowing over. Very cute and precocious!
Alicia
