Comments | I like the hint of a smile on Anthony as he busts the move. It is a little different from the usual skateboard shot, and you have some nice light. Wish I could see more of the scooter though.
The second portrait is quite striking, mostly because of the light. The strongest of the five in my opinion.
I wish i could see the monkey a little easier in the third frame, as it is a little lost in the frame.
What is the story here on the fourth frame? Not very clear since it is a posed portrait and the caption does not add much.
Nice shot, and a nice quote in the fourth frame. I get the stressfulness of his occupation from this shot.

Comments | Good idea for a story -- people in unusual jobs they love. I like that you've worked on lighting these images. I'd suggest that you continue to refine your lighting bag of tricks. Consider the artistic possibilities with varied lighting. For example: Scooter guy lit unevenly, swimming nun lit with softer light (it is a kindness, especially to older people to light with soft light), bringing in a second, gridded light on horse guy pic to define the horse, diver guy lit unevenly. You get the idea -- you're doing a great job of playing with balancing ambient and lit, now work on refining the lit techniques to make an artistic statement.

Comments | Interesting portrait series but I dont instantly get Syncronized Swimming out of the nun.
The shadows are a little harsh. But nice, simple and basic. Good for daily work.
