One of my oldest friends finally had some time to get behind my camera >_<

OH GOD SO GOOD.

I love it. At first I didn't like the close up wide angle images, as the distortion bugged me. Then I looked at the images (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kewk/5861974716/in/set-72157626900963003) and fell in love with them.

This guys got mad character, and you captured it well. As weird as it sounds to some, I absolutely love doing sessions with male subjects. Not sure why, but its just a completely different type of portraiture, and these ROCK. My only critique (and its a very gentle one) is in the studio images (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kewk/5861475807/in/set-72157626900963003) Id edit out the reflection in the sunglasses from the light shaper, as its slightly distracting.

Other than that, These are my top 3 from that set, in order of what Id choose for most awesometastic.

At first I thought the side of his face was to hot, and your reflection in his sunglasses bugged me. But I love the composition of the shot with the fence and road in frame-right. Thats a FANTASTIC portrait.

Not much to say about this one, its awesome. I'd edit out the little silver thingy on the brim of his hat, but other than that, fantastic detail.

Edit out the light-shaper reflection and this is an unreal-keeper. Good job!


Keep it up, fantastic work! And thanks for sharing! Share more!

Thx brotha so greatly appreciate all your feedback! The reflection comment is one i've heard over and over lol. I was on a freeway overpass and was more worried about the cops than the lights haha If I raised my octa higher I could have eliminated the reflection but yeah but yeah thanks man I really appreciate your feedback

I agree, totally bitchin (yeah, had an '80's flash back) but the octa reflection is distracting. When I take pics of my kids wearing their glasses, I try to have them look just barely down or to the left/right so its not there. Glasses can be a royal PITA!!!
