So my boy started dance classes again. I did the dance portraits for the spring recital last June. Today the studio owner asked me for the disc of the photos and in my head I thought oh shit! I should have had that disc to her months ago! So I started burning the disc, and realized what a difference a few months of practice makes. I almost don't want to give her the disc because I know I could do so much better. When I did these photos it was my first time working with the 50mm f/1.4 lens. Now I own that lens and use it all the time. I'm not even sure how the portraits turned out so badly, but I do remember feeling like I was in over my head while doing them. Between the portraits being less than perfect, and my extremely late delivery of the disc, I would be really surprised if she asked me to do portraits for her again. However, if she does, I would be much more prepared to do some better portraits. Here's what I put on the disc today:
The biggest problem is inconsistency. Some of the pictures turned out great, but others not so great. It was tough using a greenscreen and an unfamiliar lens for my first paying job. I learned a whole lot doing the pictures though :P
