![(June 18) First headshot session.
I've done a few portrait sessions so far, but this is only my second indoor session with "controlled" lighting. I basically had my master 580EX Speedlite flash and one working 430EX Speedlite functioning as a slave [for some reason my other 430 wasn't responding].
I still have a lot to learn with studio photography, posing subjects, and controlling the lighting, but for a second indoor session, it wasn't too bad. This particular one was one of my favorites of the session. I liked the angle, the gentle side lighting, and overall composition. Any tips and critiques are always welcome if they help me grown and learn. Thanks!](/photos/164404981_h6svq-Ti.jpg "(June 18) First headshot session.

Your Bio
WELCOME
Welcome to my gallery at groundlevelphoto.com. My name is Michael Tangen and I am an aspiring photographer still establishing my "style" in photographing portraits, landscapes, and various still life subjects. Enjoy the gallery and buy a print or two for your wall. Thanks for stopping by!
FREE PORTRAITURE SESSIONS
For a limited time only, have a free portraiture session at your home or on location at a favorite spot. You get a CD of the high resolution images, free usage of those photos, a free slide show on PDF of your photos, and a full hour to fit as many photos as I can take in that period of time. All I ask in return is two things: that I have publishing permission to use your photos and that you consider buying your prints from me.
All photos that meet my quality expectations will be personally retouched and adjusted. That means your blemishes (within reason) will be removed, teeth whitened, eyes glistening, and cuts or scars removed (if you wish). It's like getting a makeover without the invasion of your personal space (and your wallet)!
So please order prints and gifts for your friends, family, co-workers, and other loved ones! Your support is greatly appreciated.
A WORD ABOUT THE COST OF PRINTS
I have marked up my portraits 20% from the base cost to cover my time retouching the photos, color correction, and making the photos ready to pop out of your picture frames. That 20% markup helps pay for my time and keeps me "honest" to provide you the best possible prints I can for the money you pay.
IMPORTANT: I'd suggest keeping your print orders at a size of 11 x 14 or less, as my camera doesn't quite have the megapixel ratio to handle larger prints.
