So sometimes I get these ideas in my head that I never seem to be able to replicate in the camera. This is one of those times when I acted on it quickly and I think I succeeded. I wanted to produce a square head shot that showed some emotion. I love it when I have to dig deep to get the picture that I want. I used my Olympus EP2 camera, my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 manual focus lens, two of my Alien Bee strobe lights and a small white background. Studio shots such as this allow you to focus on the person and their facial features. To me, these shots really show emotion. In the top shot, Maci definitely implies that there is some joy in her life (Pyper is in the other room letting us know she is there). In the bottom shot, Tyler is determined as a person can be and to me the shadows create by the light (or lack of light) help portray this. Seeing these pictures just makes me want to create more. I hope to continue this series with the rest of the family...
