testing portraiture 7
$temptations to move backNotes:
1. the constant light is jarringly reflected in the eyes
2. the corner wall was a comfortable spot for composition, but the lighting made it tough to separate Chris from the backwall
3. maybe I should have waited for the heat engine to drink water
Thanks to Chris, Karen, and Nailahhh.

testing portraiture 6
$witchcraftNotes:
1. diligence on the film holder closure
2. be wary of what can be reflected in the eyes (the umbrella in this case)
3. Props tho, the 210mm close up in Ilford Delta 100 Pro is *chef’s kiss*
Thanks to Mahera.

testing portraiture 5
$witchcraftNotes:
1. If it weren’t so hot, maybe I would’ve relocated us further back along the fence to play with the scattered lighting.
2. Watch the pockets.
3. I can afford to rate Portra 160 at box speed
4. remember that leaves can move
5. fix stray hairs
Thanks to Nikki.
