The Digital Portrait

I think to capture an open, truthful expression is the hardest thing for me especially taking the pictures by the window and using a white cardboard to reflect light. I took alot of potraits which i have to admit that i was not very pleased with with. My girlfriend had a few of her friends over and i took advantage of using them to pause for the portraits. This is a great challege for me and am going to keep taking portraits untill i get better. Most of the pictures had too much light reflecting on them as you can see, Itried to reduse some light.
