Here are a few recent portraits which I hope you'll enjoy.
1. My nephew at his sister's recent birthday party. Canon EF 135mm f/2L @ f/2, 400 ISO, 1/200sec.
2. My niece (the sister who had the birthday) showing off her new gloves. Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 @ f/1.8, 400 ISO, 1/1000sec.
3. It seems my nephew likes her gloves too. Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 @ f/1.4, 1600 ISO, 1/400sec.
4. My best mate's youngest son. He screwed his face up for seemingly no reason at all at exactly the right moment for this shot, and we laughed about it all night. I can't claim this shot as my own however as I didn't actually take it (my mate did). But I did set it up, did the post processing, and held the baby while it was taken, and I'm sure he won't mind me posting it. Canon EF 135mm f/2L @ f/5, 800 ISO, 1/100sec, 430EX flash (bounced).
5. Tina's eyes. I'm not sure if this shot will 'work' for other people the same way it does for me. I tried to keep things as simple and natural as possible yet still communicate something about her in an understated way. I found this to be a shot that really grew on me over time. I wonder if it has a similar effect on other people? Canon EF 135mm f/2L @ f/2, 250 ISO, 1/250sec,
