A couple more of Jordan to come. I'm really a huge fan of his series. It's been interesting seeing the difference in response I get to his series compared to the series of women. Not surprising and a bit disappointing that people respond differently.
David, don't let yourself be bothered by other peoples opinions in that regard. It's good work and what you already know and are learning about lighting and composition by doing this series is much more than many photographers who don't shoot posed people.
Here's a little change for me. This special little girl was born premature and weighed a little over 1 pound when she came into this world. She just turned 1 year old and her parents allowed me to photograph her for this holiday season. Her parents also gave me permission to post photos. Happy Holidays to the Nikon Rumors following.

@Rx4Photo - Many thanks. It's funny because those who view my work for what it is have been very responsive to Jordan's series, but those who just view my content for the subject matter of a woman have been displeased. Like I said, not unexpected and disappointing, but I'm proud of it and that matters most to me.
The Groom's Party. He wanted something different and with flair. I didn't know where to go at first but lucked upon this composition while trying different poses. As they started to walk across the road I caught a glimpse of this photo. We were running out of time so I had them move back and then walk across the road with attitude. There wasn't enough room for everyone to be in motion hence the best man on right rear waiting to move. Anyway, he was ecstatic and loves the photo. Nikon D810, Nikon 24-70mm 2.8
