Hello,
I done a photo shoot for this couple last week. I enjoyed it a lot although it was very hard. They guy really did not like being photographed, to the point I started to feel like a stalker. Even my wife said some of the images looked like I was hiding in a bush.
At the start he only wanted his back facing the camera but after a while I was suggesting some things like there is a children's play area. Maybe play on the swings and have fun together and he started to relax more, but still when people were near he would walk away and act he was not part of the photo shoot. In the end I got some really nice images of him alone and together. I selected a few images that I liked that would like to share to people for advice, but he only gave me permission to use these two images with him in as his face is slightly hidden. The girl on the other hand was very relaxed and easy going. So I asked her in some shots to pose alone then I asked him to do the same thing and told him look at that bird over there or something else and it worked. I planned to spend only 1 hour with them but lasted just over 2 but am glad I put in the extra time to make him relax.
These images was all shot with the Tamron 70-300 VC USD.
I actually quite liked the final images and felt very pleased with myself but it is quite a biased opinion so that is why I am looking for some critique to try to improve next time.
I really like image 1, I do feel maybe it was slightly over edited mainly because I missed the focus on the eyes but also I wanted to give it a brighter look so would feel more cold.
Image 2, I really don't like the cropping of it, but I liked it for having them seeming more like a couple.
Image 3 was a great image for me.
Image 4 I had to take a few steps back as in image 1 I was a little too close and she wanted some full body shots. The tree behind is a little annoying but I had tried a shot where I put her head between the tree and the railing but it felt she was being hidden so I chose this one, in hopes the large tree would not be too distracting.
If anyone wants to alter the images please feel free too, but I do ask that you can tell me what you changed. In the past people have edited them and been like to should aim to edit like this. What is like this. So would be much appreciated if you can go to the time to make a edit please describe what you did.
I don't mean to sound rude here but I am not so great with editing and do just basic things in lightroom.
Thank you for taking a look.
