Not feeling the first set of pictures, but loving the second set. I really like number three and five. Keep up the great work!

 

[MissCream]

I really enjoyed these, great job in my opinion

 

[blackrose89]

I actually like the first set better! The girl's look, expression, and all over feel seems kinda akward and outta place for the environment. I love the first set, which is saying something because I rarely enjoy people photography. My favorite is #2 of the first set.

Nice work. I really like the #5 in the first set.

 

[2WheelPhoto]

Nice

And yeah, my Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G came with free chromatic aberration. It got sold.

In your first set, watch how you are flagging off your Key light, It's inconsistant and misplaced in some. In number 2, there is not enough light on her forehead but way too much in her crotch. In 4 it is shifted to the camera left sholder and misses the right.

I know you were looking for a edgier more snooted/spotlight look, but with that you have to be careful with the placement when you take it there

Good job. I really like the first set.

I like the first set best. I'm kinda digging the setting as well, for the type of shoot this is.

 

[kylehess10]

Thank you all for the C&C! I definitely got some great advice that I'll remember for my next shoot.

First set is better cause the girl looks better, 2nd set got some nice photos...1st set 2nd picture though, I think it's never good to have a girl sit down and spread her legs. Just saying. GJ though

Cool pictures. Models, particularly in set #1 look very flat. Almost like a cardboard cutout. Anyone see this?
