What’s Your Preference?

I put this together after a studio session with my daughter, who happens to be a senior too. I am looking for creative ways to show off my work as well as the clients. I would like to know if it works? Is this creative or more trendy? Are there suggestions on other ways in which to accomplish the goal? Thanks!

No EXIF but my equipment is in my sig. My studio consists of 2 SB600 flash units, one used with a shoot through umbrella and the other bare.

I don't have critique but I think it looks pretty cool. Nice way to show different facets of a person which I think is especially nice for a senior.

thanks Kelley, this is the part I love. I could and often do sit at my computer for hours on end messing with Photoshop and the endless possibilities.

Very nice...you seemed to have captured your daughters personality...very cute...
I think it makes a great senior pic...the only minor criticism I may have is that the second pic to the right of center, is a little smaller than its counterpart and it throws the balance of a tiny bit...
I was looking through your flickr site and the other pics are good as well...
but...you cut off her toes in some of them!!! a little distracting but well done..
nicely done..

Lori, that's an excellent representation for a senior! I do agree with the one photo being slightly smaller and throwing the balance off some. That same photo, as sized now, appears to be supporting the breast of the photo in the center.

I like your comments and suggestions. I made a few changes so here is the updated version. I do like it better. As for the toes, they weren't cut off but hidden down in the sheet on the floor. I will need to think of something better for them to stand on to take care of this problem. I do kinda like how her hand comes out onto the border on the right side, completes the 3-D look.

The only thing that bugs me is that the girl on the far right seems to be behind the 4th girl, but her hand is coming in front of her hair...

Otherwise, i really like this idea.
