Portrait of the Week: Djitu

Hey folks.  Here is another set of photos that have been a long time coming.  Djitu and I did this shoot a while ago and we had a blast.  I think they turned out really well, but I always welcome any input.  We did half the set near Surdyk’s in Northeast Minneapolis.  I chose this location to experiment with some abstract colors.  You’ll see that we had fun playing with the reflections of light that are only possible after night fall.  The second half of the set was in the studio. I’m essentially doing my best to improve my off-camera lighting skills.  You be the judge!  Tell me what looks good and what looks best, and of course, show your friends and see what they think! Enjoy!

Ryan, these portraits rock. I don’t know what I like more- the studio or the outdoor shots. So great. This girl has a killer smile!
