Feedback requested: first female model shoot (skimpy outfit warning)

[e.rose]

Can someone come clone out some hair from my model's eye? It's pissing me off. And I'm too much of a PS newb to make it work right. :banghead:

2011 - I guess this is when you just started out... shooting a wedding... look how newbish these pictures are. :er:

What are you trying to proof? That was really my first indoor female session. Yes, I was a noob. I did my homework though. What are you saying about those wedding photos?

That they are 100% legit expert quality work. And you already know that. Going from editorial and photojournalistic style wedding photography, to a boudoir is not some giant leap that you are so out of touch with what to do.

Mmmhhh... I was pretty much a newbie when I shot that long ago.

Robin, you as a professional photographer are really comparing a shoot you did after how many years of experience, to a guy doing it for the first time. You really showed him.

Long ago in 2012?

I'm Robinson 32 from Denver Colorado. I am a structural engineer but I love messing with my camera and photoshop. I just picked up a DSLR a month ago (T1i) with 18-55mm, 55-250mm, and 50mm f/1.4.

The whole reason I bought the camera because recently we were blessed with 3 triplet girls. So I want to make sure I take good pictures of them. Here is my photography website. Right now I do bunch of free work to gain experience. Eventually I would like to earn some extra money to help feed the babies LOL. Please let me know what you think.

So based on this.. he bought his first DSLR in 5-15-2010... not that long ago! But he has talent, and was willing to learn... and worked really hard at it. Look at his stuff now.. it rocks!

I've owned that book for a year. It's not helping my hair situation right now.

::insert frustrated sigh::

Just so no one is confused. I don't like the pics. I think they are just two kids messing around with a camera, certainly not portfolio worthy.

So don't be confused by my statements earlier.

I think if he's willing to listen, and we are willing to help, he can do better.

They are not terrible photos, for a first time.

Time will tell, and allow us to see if he is interested in learning.

I think a lot of people don't read the part about "first time"

How many of us/you hit a home run first time up?

They are happy with what they got, because they don't know any better. That's not an insult, it's reality. They will both look back on these and go "man...we were dumb"

However, for now...it's not so terrible as to deserve much of the comments here on posing, cheap look, etc etc. They are young, and young people just don't know. I'm sure he'll keep at it, and learn.

Some good constructive criticism was given here, and I think the OP will get it and use it next time.

Give them a break...it's first time and he does not have the attitude of some of the first time douches on here. So I say get off your feminism horses and realize they are young and trying.

coming from someone who's probably hit many home runs during his "first time"
just a thought...

Quiet you, you're going to give me a big head.

Pun intended.

Got yer back, Robin! I was concerned you might not want me digging up old names and threads....

I do love that SEARCH function, lol! (when it works, at least!)
