I was asked to do some portraits for a friends daughter...I was a little nervous because portraits are not my speciality. I'm more of a landscape or macro kind of person. I said yes...and what fun I had doing it...she was so photogenic with a great tan. They were looking for more serious shots...the next post will have color images.

Lovely teen! Nice serie and a cool mood. Thanks for sharing and congrats! davidcardona · 2010-09-09: 23:05

the lighting in #1 and #last works well for me. cool miltonjacob · 2010-09-10: 05:11

Very well done. #'s 5 and 6 are beautiful! It's a shame you don't have a longer lens as a softer background would have added even more. But that little G11 shines though. jlmphotos · 2010-09-10: 05:17
