First attempt at portrait photography

First attempt at portrait photographySo Thursday I made my first attempt at portrait photography. We needed new employee photos at work and we thought this would be a great opportunity for the photography club to get in some good experience. Turns out, the photography club was primarily just me. A couple of others did help out setting up, but nobody else really joined me in this endeavor. It’s too bad… I think I gained a lot of good experience that perhaps I can share back with the group some other time.

I don’t think the shots turned out all too bad, but I still have lots of learning to do. No strobes were used… this was pretty much a seriously low-budget affair. I wish I would have taken a shot of the setup, it’d be easier to show it rather than explain it. There will be a make up session as not everyone was able to make it. I’ll try and capture a shot of the setup then.

    Kevin,

    It has been a long time………I really enjoy your web page. Other than the years that have “flown by” you pretty much look the same.

    I have been married for 7 yrs and live in Antelope, CA, and have two adopted kids. Ashley is 18 and will be going to Sac State and Justin will be 17 and a Senior in HS this year.

    Man, your Home Depot story was good…My wife had gone through the Home Depot for a landscaping project to add some “pavers” to our backyard, and were a little concerned about it, but the work was proformed by Barazani…Turned out beautiful!

    Just look at it this way, your deck looks real good.
