Very, very interesting, Christine. Like in particular #5 and #7. On #6,
I'd try more DOF, or change the focus to May's eyes. On #8 I'd lose more
of the bright area above her hair, maybe even cropping a small part of
her hair.
Being at ease plays both ways - your subjects aren't going to be if
you're not. I usually carried a secondary camera with negative film to
start with even if the assignment demanded slide. That allowed me to
start shooting before the "real" photos, so we all got used to each
other's reactions.

Hi Everyone:
1) For this homework assignment, I tried my hand at playing a
PJ/environmental portrait shooter. My colleague Liu was kind enough to
play the subject--a famous artisan knitter :-).
2) This was all done with window light only. I shot 106 shots, got the
1st cut down to 28, then picked these 8 for the gallery. Liu's niece,
May, was with us, and for #2 she held a reflector photo left. The
window light was coming from photo right.
3) We finished in the kitchen then Lui started showing May how to knit;
I grabbed the camera and started shooting, but the 2 of them were
standing in a darker part of the kitchen & I had to bump up the ISO to
get it. What was amazing was how totally relaxed I became when shooting
these spontaneous shots. When working in the living room for the more
posed shots, I was so nervous and tense. The switch in feeling is so
striking. Hopefully, the more I do this I'll learn to relax.

Comments welcome.
