Hi My name is Barbara MacFerrin and I'm a professional photographer based in Colorado. My specialty is the fine art portrait of children and families. I shoot with Nikon D750 with either 50mm or 85mm lens. Looking forward to seeing everyone's work!
One of the most spectacular places I've seen in Iceland. Getting there is definitely an adventure, but once you arrive, it feels like stepping onto another planet.
I'm shooting on a Sony a6400 with one spare NP-FW50 battery, but clearly that setup isn't enough for a full day outside.
Is there a phone that takes natural-looking night photos? I can't stand photos that are overexposed all over.
Which phone takes natural-looking yet flattering selfies? Is OPPO or vivo better?
Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?

WOW. I'M A FAN ALREADY, REALLY LOVE THE SHOTS
Thank you!
Old painterly very nice soft and dramatic, I am starting up in the fall and will be using the same setup. I'm currently looking into lighting .....any recommendations?
I mainly use one 60" octa and a vflat on the opposite side for fill. I used the Flashpoint Xplor 600
Thank you Barbara!!
You're welcome!
Beautiful photos! Look almost perfectly like paintings, I love them
Thank you!
Wow! Awesome work!
wow!
Those are great! I am curious how you did the lighting.
I primarily use one light in 60" octa then a white v flat for fill on opposite side.
I like your portraits. The eyes on second pic look like you use medium format. Well done!
I wished I had a medium format! :D
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
The second one is my favorite.
wow, very impressive. such a unique style.
Thank you!
very inspiring and beautiful work Barbara. I wonder what was your lighting setup in photo#2.
Thank you! That one was lit with one light in a 60" octa camera left. This is my setup in the majority of my work.
Superb shots Barbara, love those soft muted tones. Shot one - her expression is wonderful. not the same as, but has a similar quality to the Mona Lisa 'almost smile'.
I'd love to see a subtle hair-light on that shot... just a little backlight lifting that hair texture on the RHS (model's left).
Just an idea, I couldn't improve on these. Thanks Barbara.
