My daughter has been taking some portrait shots (b&w) in an effort to get some work as an asssitant at a studio in Caloundra. This was one of the shots of her brother, taken on film with a Richo xr2s. Ignore the dust specks the scanner was a bit dirty and I was too lazy to clean up the image. The print she is submitting is perfect.
She was going for a high contrast look with a very dark background, I think she achieved the look, even though some of the white looks a bit hot.
Her sister.
I wish I could claim credit for the good work, and my kids good looks, but the looks come from their mother.

The b/w treatment suits the portrait shots. At least the dust specs on the shot wasnt as serious as yesterday's big bunny problem.
All in all very nicely done.

Lovely images and the B&W treatment does suit. I think your daughter has done very well and I hope she achieves her goal with this good addition to her portfolio

Craig (and your daughter)
That first shot is exceptional. The top down view works, your son looks nice and relaxed and he's very engaged with the camera - a credit to your daughter's skills in getting her subject at ease. The B & W is spot on too.
