This is a great grunge backdrop for portraits, and you've nailed it ... just the right amount of detail in the DOF!

You're smoking that lighting now on these portraits. Flash or just reflector?

@Twelvebit: No flash, no reflector...just natural light. I actually prefer natural light, but I'm becoming more interested in studio lighting. I've been pricing two-light kits, but it will be awhile before I make any purchase.

cool looking image. So, where is this place with the good ribs? Johnson city TN is my second home and i usually drive past Memphis on my way to j-city.

@Rags: Thanks!
Ron suggested Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous Restaurant (355 N Main St.), but we didn't get a chance to go there. Anthony took us to Blues City Cafe on Beale Street...the ribs were great and so was the music. They had a live band and a great atmosphere. Now if you like chicken, you HAVE to go to Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken & Stuff (3633 Millbranch Rd). Hands down THE best chicken I've ever had...make sure you get the honey dip sauce.

Very nice portrait of a high school boy. The setting is just right for his expression. The colors of his jacket, beard, hair and background compliment each other.
