Nice pictures!!! Those two really look like a couple :thumbsup

[Yeehaw]

pics look real good

[slickwilly]

Nice looking shots. :thumbsup

But I think your watermark grabs too much attention, especially in the B&W shots.

[T-Bag]

You're friends with Kelly Clarkson?

Good. That means people will know where it comes from. :)

:thumbsup

When prints are purchased on my site, the watermark does not come with them.

First 2 poses are gay as hell, the rest look good. The photography itself is top notch.

The first two poses look like something out of a Nissan Commercial :)

Great shots, as always

I think some of the shots have a lot of potential but pay CLOSE attention to her hair etc. Straggler pieces of hair etc should be fixed quickly, then shoot before the wind messes it up again. Also watch where the eyes of your subjects are looking IE:

This shot has a lot of potential but the make subject's eyes peering off into the distance makes him appear uninterested. It creates a sort of dull visual then. Eyes are the most important thing to capture well in portraits. They are what draw you in. A gorgeous model with wispy hair and slightly out of focus eyes will appear dull in your shot. One thing you did well is to put the woman in the foreground of most every shot. Its a subtle touch to create more interest in your photos

[Nick]

Ohhh good advice! Thanks! I'll def take into consideration both subjects focussing on the camera more and also the details like Hair, etc.

What was your lighting set up?

[Nick]

What was your lighting set up?

Natural (blazing) sunlight, and a diffused Canon 430EX Speedlight.

Shes hot.

Some of the photos really show their personality - like humor. I love pictures that actually tell more about the subject then the basics. If that makes sense, I don't know.

Makes complete sense, you want to take an idea of their personalities away with you :thumbsup

Excellent series Nick.
