These shots were taken at the same visit to the Cotswolds that the Father and Son shot was taken on. We were visiting with about 12 others in a large farmhouse over new year and I took my gear as there were a lot of babies there! The parents all wanted shots......so, hope you like these....the parents all wanted prints, so I think they went down well with them! I will do two uploads in two different threads....
Comments and Crit always welcome, as always! Cheers

Thanks Andrew, much appreciated...

I quite like the nose stud myself, but I can see why most wouldn't like it. And also yeah, she was quite feisty, so reckon she would want it left there! lol!
In the time I had I thought these came out quite well...the bottom two are two of my favourites from the set but I totally agree with you on the mascara....she was VERY heavily made up, but I think she was trying to mask a bit of bad skin.....so can't blame her for that I guess. And it was her choice...I didn't get a lot of say in that at all...lol!

As for the colour, looks Ok on my monitor which was calibrated, but you're not the only one to say it actually, so not sure whats going on there....will have to look into that more closely....

Thanks again Andrew....appreciated

I love the portrait (but then I am sucker for a good portrait!). Nice tones, lovely framing, great expression...a really, really nice capture!

I like them! Different and work both ways....I also know these buildings....used to live just round the corner from them!

Thank you so much Andrew. Thats very kind. Appreciated....

Yeah, it was Andrew, very difficult....4 girls, one studio, 4 photographers, one hour.....wasn't the best situation....but it was fun and enjoyed it.....and like you, I hope they liked the results. They seemed to!

Thank you Andrew! Much appreciated!

Absolutely, you're not wrong, but thats the images the blond girl wanted. Its strange as the other togs on the day got shots of her dressed up in very modern dance gear and looked really different to this, but she wanted me to give her a 40's look, which I tried. It was reasonably effective I think.....

The other girl was very much more "street" and that comes out a lot. She seemed a lot less self conscious as well, which helped with the poses, so I guess she knew before she came in what she wanted....which helped in its way.

I will post some more from this session later on hopefully Cheers again Tim!

Thank you guys! Much appreciated on the comments! Yeah, was very much good fun to do and agree with the crit, so will watch out for that next time...

Thanks again!

John

Yeah, realised that now and I couldn't go back an edit the original post, so had to add the images I wanted to on here in another part of the thread....my own silly mistake.....hope you liked the images though?
