Welcome Jesse
I think your work is very expressive and moody, you deserve some stars
the portraits are excellent.
I'm in love with number 8

did you use only the natural light ?
and have you done any post processing ?

well I hope that i'll see more of your work.
cheers.

wow, I like them all, but especially nr 10 - big Tim Burton fan over here :D

alucard,

#'s 1,2,4,8, and 9 were all shot in natural light, and have not been touched in photoshop. They remain the same as the moment they were shot.

#'s 3,5,6,7, and 11 were also shot in natural light, but have slight post color processing done on them.

The only one shot in artifical light was # 10. I shot this with a timer in my studio. I'm the one dressed as Jack Skelington. It's the only one that's really been photoshopped.

carolupus,
I can't help but be a Tim Burton fan as well. :)

Thanks for your comments :)
