I haven't taken a plate of my daughter in a while. She was thrilled. 5x6, American petzval.

Cute portrait Garrett.

I love this one, reminds me of some classic Weston pepper shot, the lighting is so good.

Thanks Garrett.

Wonderful portrait of your daughter too. A harsh critic can be the sitter, even harsher if it's family. It's definitely a treasure.

Thanks, I've got a pretty good series of wetplates of her, going back 7 years. It will make an interesting wall one day. Here's her sister's friend I took at the same time:

Tri,

That's a lovely plate! Somehow I prefer the darker one.
