First Model Shoot...

[TheBoombaGnome]

A friend of mine from school does some freelance modeling and stuff, and we were talking about getting together. Well, we're both on Christmas vacation, so we decided to finally do it. I have never done a real shoot with a model (just modeling, not like a band or something), so this was a new experience for me. Marcie did a great job, and luckily she knew exactly what she was doing, and was able to give me some ideas as well...here are a few of my favorite shots. C&C would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: I am aware that some of them are over-contrasted or really soft. I did the contrast in PP on purpose - I thought it helped the shot.

I like these. Exposure wise they look a little under exposed, nothing that pp couldnt fix.

1. I would like to see more of her and less background.
2. Headshot!!! Wish this was framed just on her face.
3. Right shoulder bring chopped off kinda ruins the shot for me.
4. The angle is too extreme. From the camera's perspective if it was looking up at her that would be sweet. Instead of you taking the photo at her shoulder level shoot from her knees up.

Not bad though!

I like the focus and skin tones. Wife wouyld love the platforms and BRRRRRRR it looks cold.
Portraits should be close and simple unless the background makes the shot and it doesnt in 1,2,4. Keep working at it, you got a good model there.
I believe she would like them but continue to work on it.:thumbup:

Thanks guys!! I totally understand what you mean on those for sure... definitely gonna keep that in mind

vtf - it was actually almost 40 here today. It was unfortunate though, we had freezing rain/rain all morning, so the beautiful unturned snow we had turned to nasty unturned slush :-(

More reason to watch the back ground.
We had 66 degrees today, by midnight tomorrow it will be 0 degrees windchill to bring in the New Year.

Looks like a cold, winter, gray day. You could try dialing in a warming filter on the color pics.
