Here is a series of photos I'm working from for a current commission. I hardly ever use just one photo for a painting. Even if one shot has exactly the pose I want, I still need closeups of faces, feet, etc.

All these were shot in exactly the same lighting (indirect daylight from a large window) and I didn't change where I was shooting from, so I can mix the reference shots together.

The girl is not happy with her weight and she and her mom asked me to "trim her down a bit" which I will do for the painting.

This overall shot also makes the boy look too small relative to his sister. I will bring him forward in the final composition so their sizes are more accurate compared to each other.
