Katie - 12.24.10 - First try at a model shoot

[clbd39]

Sorry about the photo overload, I'm just wanting as much feedback as possible in general and if you can give some C&C, that'd be much appreciated on a few!

Went out the day before Christmas with a friend who has been modeling and doing pageants since she could practically walk, so I figured she'd be a great resource to get practice with!

We started at 830 in the morning and quit around 1130. I tried lots of ideas and she was up for anything.

I was really wanting to go for Winter Fashion and get that Cold feel on some and get a warm feel on others, it's definitely not my style, but it's something I want to improve on, so I will most likely go for a re-edit on a few of these.

I'm also going to do an all B&W set of these this week.

Thanks for looking and please critique (I know I cropped off the hair in a few, newb error)

Here's the link to the Set, please feel free to add comments and add me if you'd like

Sorry if they get sort of repetitive, does the posing seem ok? Good? Awesome? So-so? Bad? Great?

#8 is the strongest, then #2.

#8 needs to boost the color a bit. Increase your vibrance or saturation

Perfect model; perfect photographs; what else? nothing...

Love them! #1 and 2 i thought were before editing and after. They don't have the same processing. Skin and hair and coat are not the same. Great posts! 8 and 9 ROCK!
#11 could use a closer crop...was 7 an in camera crop?

Yea, I do see that 8 is lacking a little bit or color, I'm always scared to overdo the vibrance bar

LOL thanks, she was great!

No they are taken at a little bit different elevation, but they have completely different color edits

7 is almost completely out of the camera, I'm not even sure if I cropped it one bit, just a little correction here and there

She's fairly familiar being on that side of the camera and made it easy on me!

I love your composition, great job!
I would touch up her skin a little bit, and adjust level in photoshop to give her that pop so the image won't look flat.

7, and 11 she looks like she's going to rip your throat out and **** down your neck. Other than that, you did a nice job for your first model shoot.

I like the set ups in 6,7,8,9 keep it up

I like the photos, 7 and 8 are my favorite. However, the focus seems soft in a lot of them.

edit:Nevermind...they look a lot better on flickr

Just a bit nit picky: Her hair is mess in most of these pictures. it's very distracting to me. The poses are more "senior portrait" than high fashion.

*just my 2 cents

yeah... but he's the photographer, not a make up and hair artist... correct?

Nice job...there is something about #4 I really like, I have to agree with some of the other guys #8 is one of the strongest. Keep up the good work!

I love number 3 you are drawn right to her eyes. Number 12 also looks like something you would see in a catolog, not sure if that is what you were after.

Lovely model, but am i the only one that thinks most of them are soft
