So I've decided to take the leap from landscapes to portraits. I plan to start shooting engagement, family, newborn portraits once I obtain some flashes/lights, and only after a lot of practice/reading. I also plan to start assisting some pro's with weddings and eventually start shooting on my own, again, once I've gained enough experience.
I've been doing a lot of reading this past week, and yesterday I decided to drag my girlfriend out to use as a model to practice on. We only went to a couple different places, and these are actually the only 2 images I made as I wanted to try out the Brenizer Method. (we're currently in Prague visiting her family)
I was pretty happy with the way these turned out but I would LOVE if you more experienced portrait photographers would pick them apart and tell me what you would have done differently, and maybe what I got right.
My goal was to find locations with nice natural light, as practice, and also because I have no lights yet.

I would also love to hear your crop suggestions, or anything else!
Thanks!
