Hi guys!

Took these ones at a children's birthday party. I was there shooting when I saw this lady making up the kids. First I took some flash shots but I didn't like them. The light was to hard and destroyed the magic of "natural" light in the scene. I like the magenta cast in these photos.
Hope you enjoy it =) Critiques are welcome.

when your in a position like this, some photographers aim the flash behind them, that way you dont ruin the existing lighting, but you get some help with more light. Awesome photos dude, i like the first one the best :)

I think you made an excellent choice! The natural lighting here is what really makes these photos. I don't think they would've looked like anything special with a bright flash on them, but these look great.

Nice shots.. :)
The venue looks indoors to me.
You could try doing a vertical bounce, it'll help create an even ambience..

Cheerz, what do you mean by vertical bounce? Is it to bounce the flash at the ceiling?

Thank you guys! I really liked these shots =)

yeah the flash at the celling will give you a best quality in the light, and then i was thinking if you dont have one flash with bounce you can useyour on camara flash as fill undexposing the power of the flash, i never did that but i think that can work
