The tilt actually comes from the pose more than the camera. When I'm posing people, I like to get one shoulder higher than the other, male tilts head towards lower shoulder, female towards higher shoulder - a la Monte Zucker's traditional portraiture style. And yes, my dear Monte, I know the head should have been turned a tad more! (smooch! LOL!) Yes, 'tis Squeak. :) We rarely eat there, so we'll still use the kitchen. ;) ~ Lonnit

My fave of the two. Really like the lighting here. Also like the more natural skin tones and dynamic the tilt adds.
Guessing from the title this is our friend Squeak?
Excited for you on the recent good news. So where will you folks be eating if the dining room is taken? :)

Thanks, Cam. I'd never been much for studio work, but now I'm getting into it and starting to learn about lighting. Now I'm getting fascinated with it and want to do a lot more experimenting. I'll be turning my dining room into a studio in the next month or so. I'm very excited about that! ~ Lonnit

Your kids are really growing up. I especially like the lighting on this shot. The kiss of light on his left cheek and eye provide a nice separation from the background. Nicely done. - CameraShy09
