I'm new to the forum. Just wanted to post some portraits I did of my daughter for Xmas gifts for the grandparents.

Awesome photos, you did a really good job. If you dont mind me asking how did you light them?

First one reminds me of the shot of the blond in American Beauty with all the red roses........I think this has to be my favorite of the three, even through I really like the environmental portrait. Super lighting!!!!!!!!

If I may be so bold, I would love to know your workflow

Hi there. I have a Dynalite strobe kit with softboxes that I love and that I use for nearly all of my studio shots. I used a Canon 5D (not the new one) and a Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens.

Thanks for the nice compliment. Everyone seems to like the shot with the roses around her face. Check out my website some time - BRENKO STUDIO.

Hi There. My workflow is - Canon 5D, Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens, Dynalite Strobes w/Softboxes, shoot in RAW format & edit in Photoshop CS3 - go into Bridge first to do any exposure adjustments, then go into Photoshop & do some skin softening & vignetting. That's about it!
