A few shots of my new friend

[Vtec44]

We met through Instagram. She has been following my work for a while, I just happened to look at her profile and decided to reach out to her to do a test shoot. We got along really well and it wasn't awkward at all. It seems like we're just 2 friends hanging out so that made it a lot more fun. I sent her to my regular hair and makeup artist to have that done before the shoot. It was a 3hrs drive for her from there to the shoot location.

Very nice set. They have a serene look with a little surreal on the side. The only thing I'm not sure of is the reflection of the legs in #7. I find it distracting for some reason. Maybe either do away with it, or change the crop to add more?

Absolutely cracking set and a very lovely model. She rocks the look.
I agree with Smoke665 on #7. With the reflection as is it looks almost as though she's wearing rubber boots (wellies)(galoshes?). If you have more room at the bottom on the original it would probably look very good with more of the reflection, even at the cost of some of the greenery above.

Lovely girl, lovely images.

Very nice; you certainly have better taste in friends than she does!

Very nice set as others have said. I would like to see a crop in #8 to a bit above her head. A different concept of course but I think an appealing composition.

Love 'em. Very nice feel. The shots that show any movement to the cloth/dress are the best in my book. 7-8-9 are (IMO) the least strong of the bunch...either too static or in #9, she becomes an amputee from the knees down.

Great job. Now...you need to post more of her. If you're game and she's game, try something long and flowing (like a long white cloth) and get her and it partially in the water, let the current extend it. You'll create some superb lines that way.

Thanks! The water was freezing cold and we have no way to dry her off quickly enough so I didn't want her to submerge into the water . It's also steep so that's as far as she could go before going to waist deep. So, just below where I cropped her legs is the ugly muddy shoreline lol

Great model and a good series. I think the background is a bit too overexposed in some of the shots. Still good photos.
