Thats actually my student from years ago. I used to teach martial art and self defense at community centres. I actually have 2 people that will model for me (professional models) for free, so I should be able to pull something if i can come up with the proper props.
That pic is good, except that the hair was kinda messy
These are my true first attempt with portrait, i do more structure, landscape and cars.. i will definitely practice more. And thanks for the pointers, it definitely help. Lets hope that portrait lens i ordered can compensate a bit for the lack of skills in me
