Chloé, outdoor shoot.

[cauzimme]

Just a photoshoot for fun, she wanted photos for her port, she loves modeling.

Natural light, 85mm that's all.
Last minute and bored photoshoot.

2.

3.

I'm pretending #1 doesn't exist because. ...train tracks.

2 is a nice standing portrait.
3 is the real winner here. Wonderful color rendition.
The blurry rail in the foreground is a bit distracting, but cropping it out would also crop out her hand...so...probably better as is.

I am with pixmedic.

I still don't get why train tracks are bad... ?

its largely an American thing because its actually illegal in the U.S.
also because its a horribly cliche and overused scenario by every best buy pro looking to fluff up their portfolio.


train tracks aside, its a great shot.

Oh I didn't know it was illegal in the U.S
I guess i'm looking to fluff up my portfolio XD
To be honest, I like the light coming from behind her and the railroad is 200meter from my place, like I said, last minute shoot because i was bored.

I'm in a weird place now.
I do not want to pursue with escorts photos since they have no respect for my work (selling, cropping, editing my images, deleting my logo) I want to focus on portrait and civilians, I need to work on my port.

i think your selling yourself short as far as talent goes, but the photography business is more about marketing and business acumen then talent anyway. photography is a tough business now days...I dont miss it at all. Every post I see about someone new wanting to get a start in photography as a business makes me glad we got the heck out.

I think i'm not bad, but i'm not great yet, and probably will never be great enough in my mind. I'm also pretty harsh with the work of others, it's not only about me.
But I have a hard time finding model to build up a non boudoir portfolio.
Every girls approaching me wants boudoir... And when I told them that I only do Pay photoshoot for boudoir but I would gladly work TF for fashion or portrait, they have all of these ridiculous demands, like MUA, Hairstylist, wardrobe stylist. They are no model, most of them have shitty portfolio with 'fauxtographer' but they are so use to get what they want from everyone that they act like divas.
And I do not have a budget to hire professionnal models either. I'm stuck.

I agree it's more about Marketing skills these days, i'm thinking about sign in up for some courses.

I can't fail, photo is my only option,
I won't prostitute myself anymore.

I'm going to disagree with Pix on #s 2 & 3. IMO, both of these are fails... for one reason. Her eyes are basically dark pits in both. The eyes are the window to the soul and if you have no eyes, you have portrait. From most people these would be fine, but we've seen so much better from you. The posing is good, the overall exposure and colour rendition is nice, but for the lack of a reflector...

i accounted for "last minute and bored shoot"....
assumed there were no accessories brought along.

Me lol.
I wasn't suppose to shoot her, at first yeah, I brought my stuff, wait for her for 1hrs in her parking, she never showed. Went back to my place, drop my big bag, hang out with a friend, she texted me how sorry she was. So we meet at one place, close to my place and close to my friend place because I was annoyed, I only took one camera, one lense, it was 6pm, we were suppose to shoot at 4pm.

When I say I have trouble with model, i'm not kidding.

Fair enough; I understand the whole "last minute" thing (I don't do it well which is why there are certain essentials which NEVER leave my truck...), but having seen some of the work that you've done, these don't cut it, and I think if you'd just thought a little more, you'd have been able to work around the issue. Just moving her head a bit, or tweaking the pose slightly... You want to move into more conventional photography, so situations like this are good ways to practice for the Mom who wants shots of her daughter, but is "running late", etc. Treat every shoot as if it was a the most important one of your life, and don't accept sub-par work or excuses from yourself!
