Took some pictures of my youngest son Nathan and myself. A few were very blown out, did the best I could with them. Or any worthy of a portfolio?

Very nice for someone wanting a mentor. Personally, I like the B&W one the most. Probably because I love B&W portraits

These two look the most natural to me. The hug looks a bit 'awkward'.

I especially like the b&w close crop. Nice idea.

Thanks! I think I am going to go back and add more contrast to the black and white close up.

I really like these shots, 3&5 look less processed to me. In fact the only thing I can criticise is that there maybe a tad too much processing involved.

Anyone wishing for portraits would be so pleased with any of these.

Great work

I agree that some are over processed. It was the best I could do with my camera outside today. You should see the before pictures....this may look over processed but it is an improvement. The sun was so bright and I had very little shade so the pictures came out over exposed. I had to take them before Nathans nap. Better time of day would have been better to shoot I guess. Maybe I could drag him out again when he wakes up!

Thanks for the reply :) Yes, drag him out again!!

Promise you will leave 3 & 5 as they are, or at least keep copies as they are, cos they are super.

If you're putting a portfolio together, are you also including some of your challenge shots? - like;

For example. I think these shots would impress anyone looking through your portfolio.

Thanks for the compliment....but people where I live would not like those photos. They would think they were weird. (the Miss You for sure) I live in the boonies of Tennessee. They are going to want to see normal boring portraits I am sure. I can be a little creative but not too creative or I won't get any work. I showed a friend of mine this picture and she thought I was depressed and wondered if I needed to be on meds (she was serious)
