Portraits

Within my recent shoot with the lovely Alix T we made sure we tried various styles of portraits. Now as you know I do like a nice strongly lit, contrasty type of shot, but as I don't want all my shots looking the same it was the perfect oppurtunity to experiment a little and try a few changes of angle, lighting and contrast......

The first thing I tried was to get away from the strong lit shots I normally like to do, which I think worked beautifully...

We then worked our way through my standard portrait settings, I do like to use these crisp settings as they do work well in monochrome, producing nice, strong results......

And just incase you were wondering what these settings look like in colour......

Just for a change up we then tried a few from different angles, this produced some more great results...

And then there's the show stopper which I've saved till last......
