First shoot in a year,

Quite happy with the results.

I really like the last two photos! They seem much more natrual than the previous ones. I would consider taking control of your highlights on almost all of the images. There are definitely a few where the skin tones are just glowing bright white - this is the only reason the second image doesn't stand out to me. The first is a little flat for my liking. Maybe try placing the light (or model if natrual light) at a more extreme angle to the main light.

I really like the mood of these images! The first one I think the angle could have been a little more close to the wall, if that makes sense. The last one looks super cool, but it's a shame about her hands. It looks like she's digging into her pants with her right hand, and I'm not sure if that's exactly what you were going for..

Haha i am awful at instructing the model etc so i more or less rely on their natural actions, with a few 'Look at me, look here look there, pull your shirt down a little

Thanks for the feedback, i feel theyre my strongest portraits so far

I like the colors of the first, and the last two have very nice light. The second is my favorite. It feels like I'm sitting there in that wonderful little meadow right across from her! I'm not sure exactly what it is about but, it just pulls me in.

I think #2 is kind of a dud. But the first, and the last, are absolutely smokin-hot. And the second to the last is about ready to burst into flames..let's say its smoldering.

The last one she is smoking hot. I Love the head angle,the hair,the composition and the warm glowing sunlight. Her profile make this one so Sexy IMO.

 

[Designer]

Lovely!

I wish #2 had her near eye unveiled.

Well, you're going to just have to get better at it. Pretend the critics are looking over your shoulder as you're shooting. Try to see anything that might be a problem. If your model looks like she's getting tired, take a little break. It is a "team effort", and you both have to work together, and that includes understanding each other.

Whoah, I just realized that's what I do, subconsciously. Everything I learn from people here on TPF is going through my subconscious mind as I shoot, so I'm thinking.. Derrel wouldn't like this, or Designer would advise that I do this....

Very neat way of improving, I second this notion!

You also have to understand that some people are just bad at modeling. You might get them to look natural, but it might be the only look they can pull off without seeming awkward or like they're trying too hard.

A pretty face does not a model make.

Thanks for the inputs

In the last photo, did you use any flash diffuser or whatever? Lovely shots by the way, last one especially.
