I Don't Do Portraits!

And they say never work with (animals and) children.

This is my lass, wanting to be photo'd.














All taken with natural window light.


Bilbo.

I think the 5th one is a corker mate

It looks the most natural of them all.

DEfinitley the 5th one here too, it's the only one where the eyes are properly in focus which is always so important in portraits, and lovely reflections from the flash/windows as well in the eyes.

brill m8. b&w just sets em all of

Good pictures. I have the same skin.

Very nice Bilbo. 5th is most definitely the one that stands out the most.

The facial expression is brilliant. I find big happy smiley pics to be annoying if not cringeworthy at times but "pensive" photo's such as these provide a lot more. Looking away from the camera deep in thought always provides for a much more powerful photo in my opinion.

Like these ones a lot Paul Can I ask which lens you used?

[Bodman]

2nd and 5th are my faves. Her expression is like butter wouldn't melt

Most were on the 50mm nifty fifty.

Nice shots mate, the softish focus goes well with your daughters dreamy look.
Going to also jump on the 50mm lens train, loving mine too. It's hardly off the camera now.

Nice shots m8. No. 5's the best one.
