I`m certainly no portrait expert but this looks very nice to me.How does this harmony and composition looks to you now?

Original shot is much wider, this is the crop I made, so you prefer more space around subject? I'll give it a try how it looks.ack up, give her some breathing room around the edges.
I metered the exposure, so it should be correct. I am suspecting what you see is an effect of color grading, background is originally gray. I'll try to color grade again but this time I will exclude subject and we will see how it will come out.Underexposure especially on skin tends to give it dead look.
No she doesn't. Room has no special lightning present and shot was taken in the evening so its normal that pupils are dilated. Flash duration is so short, that pupils are unable to respond. If you need constricted pupils, you need strong continuous light.Your girl has some sort of medical problem, her pupils are very large and do not constrict.
Its obvious that you might be a good photographer, but please don't mess with medicine. Opioids are causing pupils to constrict, so quite opposite of what you are suggesting.Unless she is already on opiates then that would explain why in front of a flash they are so large.

Wrinkles are driving me mad too, but with this kind of fabrick backdrop I am unable to get rid of them![]()

Sorry, thats my bad, while cloning background my mouse obviously slipped a bit without me noticingBut I wanted to know if you know what causes it.
Thank you for pointing this out. I am aware of this, but I simply don't have enough space for full body portrait to take on 85mm. However I notice if I am with lens not at eye level but rather at waist level distortion is negligible.It will distort features especially as you get closer to the subject.
Thank you very much, I'll try to get these books.A couple books I recommend, "The Book of Photography" by John Hedgecoe and Monte Zucker's "Portrait Photography Handbook". These are old school guys, but the things they teach are timeless.
I was going to say, extend the background...but I would have gone the other way with the negative space. Super cute photo! I'd experiment more with this. Get her to leap, trying to get some motion blur might be cool too!She was excited about new dress, but she was so focused on the posing, movement of the scarf that excitement in the face is not that obvious.
I understnd what you mean by space, my original picture was like this

but after discussion with people I decided to go for tighter crop, its probably more personal preference and feeling.
For the wrinkles she needs to be farther away from the background...and you need to shoot a lot wider. How wide does your lens go? I'd shoot wide open.Original shot is much wider, this is the crop I made, so you prefer more space around subject? I'll give it a try how it looks.

I like your eye and I think you should stop cropping in so much and give your images more room. What about this crop.This is how is was shot with cloned background, green added, subject excluded.View attachment 274544
