Woot it went well!!!
He was late due to construction traffic, and when he got to the meeting point it had even started to rain....
We started the photo shoot under a tree, and when the rain was light enough, we moved to a better spot and finally the sun was peeking out a little!
One thing I learned is that the first half of a photo shoot, is only to get the subject relaxed, and the best pictures are near the end of the shoointg :)

Anyways, enough babbling and here are the 5 best (to my liking):

Wow Marie, excellent job! the squinting is the only thing that bothers me about your favorite but the lighting is lovely! I like the white balance and the exposure is really good! hmmm was he squinting the whole time or is it natural? Did you get any 3/4 body shots?

Haha funny you mention it!!!
He is ALWAYS squinting!!! even if his life depended on it, I don't think he could stop that!! :rofl:
I don't have any 3/4 body shot, cause it is not what is desired in the acting field, needs face only...
Most pictures I cropped a little bit also..
I hope he likes them!
Thank you!

I like 3 and the last one the best. I think the first two are just a tad bit too cropped off the top but now I'm just nitpicking because they look good to me, I'm sure he'll like them. I don't do many portraits so I don't know what else to suggest but I'm sure the pros of the site will help you more ^_^ and you're right about the best photos being taken last lol. Comfort Comfort Comfort!! I did that with a band I'm working with and it does wonders. I have a knack for capturing personalities so that's important to me ^_^ Good Luck Marie, you're doing great <3
