:: Side Composition ::
An image is more appealing to the eye when the subject is positioned in the frame on the rule-of-third's points of interest. This side composition places the subject the the left of the frame with pleasing negative space to the right. Notice also the flow; the model is looking into that space, rather than facing the edge of the frame. I placed a flash in front of the model, directing the light towards him (and the camera). I did not filter the flash, since I wanted a hard edge light to trace the model's profile.

:: Head Shot ::
A simple yet well lit and exposed head shot. There are two light sources: and key light off to camera left, and a hair (or rim) light off to camera right. The key light was filtered with an umbrella and the rim light was not.

This shot contains both the ambient light as well as a auxiliary fill light off to camera right. Aperture, shutter, ISO, and flash power was adjusted so that both the ambient and auxiliary lights were balance. I wish I had a more shallow depth of field with ~2.8 aperture, however I was at the lowest ISO and I could not speed up the shutter speed without loosing sync with the external flash.

Your photos are fantastic. My favorite is "Bundle" I love the background and how the sky is blended makes it a nice full body shot. I also love, "Abuela" you were able to capture the feeling in the picture. A story says allot about a picture.
