Aperture Studios is hosting an "industry night" and asked for those attending to send in 3 photographs to be displayed during the event. I went through my portrait folder and picked the shots I felt were my best three.My first pick is a shot of Tara that I took 3 years ago in our offices. I flipped a meeting table on end for a background and stuck an umbrella in close to get a nice specular reflection off the table.
My second pick is a shot of Briana that I made 2 years ago on Granville Street. It was summer and Briana had on a nice summer dress. I used a long 200mm lens at a shallow depth of field to blur the background.
My third pick is a shot of Mary-Ellen taken during last year a grueling 9-hour marathon shoot with her, Jon and Maxine. In this one, I used harsh side-lighting to highlight her muscle definition and to pop the Calvin Klein mark.
I'd be interested to know if you would have picked these three. Here is a link to my other shots for comparison.
