Great work.

The portraits are especially fetching. She seems so comfortable in front of the 
camera. I love the "Jewel meets Taylor Swift" thing she has going on there.

Don't take this the wrong way (either of you) but she looks just a bit "chunky" 
or "thick around the waist" in the last several photos. I don't get the feeling 
from the other photos that she is that way but the combination of her outfit 
and some of the shooting angles is not flattering to my eyes.

Otherwise a tremendous set. Wonderful photos of a very pretty young woman.

Cheers,
frank

Subject: GESO: Alisa W. photo shoot -- 6/17/13 (50 images)

I woke up today with an itch to take some photos and decided, what the 
hell -- I'll see if I can find someone to pose for me. So, I updated my 
Facebook status to see if anyone might be interested. Shortly 
thereafter, I got a response from a friend of mine who's been telling me 
for quite a while that she wants me to photograph her daughter. She was 
ready to get it underway within two hours, but I told her I had to make 
some arrangements with a friend of mine to see if I could use his place 
to take some shots and that we ought to shoot for the early afternoon, 
just to give him a little bit of notice. I called, he agreed, and we all 
went out there and started shooting. This is the product after my 
initial run-through of the more easily workable shots:

All shot with the K-5 and F50/1.7 with my recently purchased flash unit 
attached. I didn't bother with any wireless stuff as I wanted to play it 
safe and didn't want any big surprises. Also, I didn't realize until I 
got home that I'd had the diffuser in my pocket the whole time. So, some 
of the shots came out a tad harsh, but overall, I have to say I'm pretty 
pleased with what I was able to do. All shots were done hand-held with 
manual flash.

Comments appreciated.

Thanks!
