first photoshoot

sean7488 · Feb 4, 2011

So last week I posted on here about my first try at portrait professional and I did photos on myself. Well today I got to have my first try at shooting actual portraits of another person. I think overrall they came out good except for it being windy and her hair being all over the place. Let me know what you guys' think.

They look a little dull to me. Bland maybe. 4 is a really bad angle. Not flattering to her at all.

EDIT: The focus on these is good and with a lil pop I think they'll be great.

Pretty girl but she really needs to wash her hair next time before a shoot. Not trying to be mean but thats all I can look at.

Here's a quick edit I did. Just to show what I meant. I brightened it up some, lightened her eyes a tad and got rid of the under eye shadows.

Let me know if you do not want it up there, I'll be happy to take it down.

For the first three the framing is wrong, there is oodles of dead space above her head but hardly any of the girl in the frame, you just needed to point the camera down slightly.

I think the framing would be fine if he just cropped down a bit. But I do agree. Too much dead space in the photo. Background seems like it merits a tighter shot.
