This is my friend's daughter.
I didn't charge her anything, i just really want to give her some pictures that her and her family can enjoy.
Although i'm sure she will appreciate any pictures i give her, i WANT them to be really good. i would prefer them to be amazing, if not this set then the next set of pictures i do for friends or family.
this is the first time i have ever done pictures for someone else (with the intention of trying to make them look "professional")
If possible, i'd like them to be critiqued on two levels:
1. for what it was: a free-"i'll take some portraits of your daughter"-first attempt at "professional" photos. basically i would like to know if these are worth hanging over the fireplace. If not, what can i do to improve them now? as in Post-production?
what do you like, what don't you like?
i always seem to feel differently about each photo(for example right now i feel the second one has dull colors and her face is too shiny in the fifth one. the sixth one is too dark in general... uh yeah, i'll admit. i kind of hate them right now. but maybe i've been staring at them too long to even know anymore)
2. it would seriously be a blessing to do my passion for a living ( not a lavish lifestyle type of living, but at least to make a little extra money while i'm finishing up my degree) or at least make it so that i can cover my expenses.
what would you recommend i do differently in the future if i ever want to look into charging a fee?
( be brutally honest I can take it!!!)
did this camera do okay for now? i want to upgrade soon anyway. (this is an entry-level d3000 and i mostly used a 50mm 1.8)
