I like it. What setup are you using?
The shots are real soft. I'm assuming that is what you were looking for. |

I love these. I don't think I will ever get how you produce these, but they are just superb.

Not too bad. THe only criticism i can see is that there are multiple catch lights in teh eyes - particularly on the dog shot, but i see it in all the shots.
Best portraits are usually shot at 100-110mm. Your 200 looks real good.

How hot how bright?
I have been playing with quartz halogen work lights, and i gotta get 1500 watts or more to have any shutter speed worth anything. I have no WB issues, but the heat is there alright.

Cool xmas pressy. :-).
I like the one of you best, in a purely photographic sense. But then I'm a sucker for a B&W. :-).
It looks like you've got the light(s) sitting below eye level of your models. It's normally best to have your key light (brigtest/closest) above eye level, as it looks more natural. At a casual glance we don't expect to see light coming from below someones face, and it can be quite un-flattering for some people.
And, for photos of someone sitting at a couch, it's neat to have the shot taken from a lower point of view thatn you have here. Then it's like you're looking across the room at them from another couch. It makes the whole thing more engaging, like a casual cup of coffee.
Someone already mentioned the multiple catch lights.. That's the bane of my life lately, so I wont offer any advice, appart from they are annoying, and you can mess around for ages getting rid of them!
I'm not a big fan of the background, but I realise you were just experimenting. If you're up for some experimentation, move the couch out from the wall, and put something to the side of the brolly ('gobo' or 'Blind' in photo geek-speek) so that the wall is shaded, but the model isn't.
Or, if there's trees outside, open the blinds and shoot at dusk.
I've got some really nice shots taken of a couple on a couch, window behind and the curtains were terrible so I opened them up and metered to have the outside light 2 stops lower than the key light. I'll post a copy if you're intersted, but don't want to hi-jack your thread. :-).
As always, my 2c worth..
Cheers, Me.
