Location Portraits- Tom

These images are location photography portraits. For these shots, I used different light exposures to create shadows and I also used reflectors and a gobo.  By using these, I experimented with various different techniques for this subject. I also tried to use different backgrounds to add diversity. I also used some different camera angles, and asked my model to face towards and away form the camera. Although I did this, I also tried to use angles that were flattering for my model. I did not use flash. 
I am happy with how my images turned out, as I think they show different processes used on location such as gobo's and reflector's. If I could improve the images, I would have shot in different locations with different light exposures.
