A couple from a recent shoot with a teen.

[CountrySoul]

These are a few shots from some photos I recently did with a teen. I'm fairly new to photography and I can see I'm improving in my photography but not sure where too go from here so looking for some advice! Thanks! (Downsized the images some due to slow Internet upload time) if they seem a little out of focus I know the uploaded fine here

She has the exact same expression in every shot. Her head is positioned exactly the same. She looks tense and uncomfortable here.

It's the same shot 3x. Just cropped differently and one is B+W

I can show you some possible directions if you set your profile to allow editing.

These are pretty good. Both crops of the first one are basically fine. Nice strong composition, technical details all in place.

The second one would be improved by having her turn a little more toward the camera, and/or to move her slightly left in the frame. Either have her "facing" the dead space on the left, or eliminate it. Or, if you like, put something IN it -- you almost have a tree in it, but not quite. Also, there is some sort of string or wire across the frame behind her which is distracting.

These aren't too bad. More expression that move the viewer will be better.
