Former Teen Miss America

Maybe shooting from a lower angle.. Elongate her some since her boots made her stumpy. And head room!!! Lol that also kind of squeezed her vertically.

Funny - those boots are soooo popular now. Or at least last Christmas they were. I wore a pair last night

Daughter and friends all over the boots. I don't get it either! Little to no heal must be comfy.

She definitely had a different wardrobe at miss america thats for sure

See Lew... Maybe there is really something wrong with your monitor. I admit that I like my photo bright. But maybe your computer makes it even brighter and unbearable. You always say my photos are too bright.

# 2 pose is unflattering. Always straighten a persons spine.

Okay so next time no boots. How could I have changed the composition in 1? I feel like something's off, like her placement, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

I agree with changing the angle. I would suggest shooting a bit higher though, but only because I like shooting that way.

But do you think she's placed right?

Anyone have advice for #1?

I would have shot that picture from a lower angle, she appears short, or at least not tall in the picture. No matter whether she is short or tall in reality, appearing taller will look better.

Hmm... I've read that it's unflattering to shoot females from below; that it's better to shoot from above or at eye level. Of course though, I'm sure there's creative leeway.

Interesting, I have not heard that before. I tend to shoot people from lower angle to show they are tall and slim. Why need to shoot above or at eye level ?

Ask her out.

Best advice in this whole thread!!!!

BUt just what the others said. Most are overexposed which is really a shame when you have such a great model. I liked the exposure on 3 but the crop needed to be centered a bit better to do it this tight. Dont really like the bw and white, too much on the gray scale.

While your at it lose the some more of the clothes too

Maybe a monopod and raise the height and get the vanishing point of the pillars in #1. Don't know if it will be distracting. .But I think will make the pic look different
