I posted some of these already in the professionals forum, but thought I'd share them with a larger audience in their "final" form.
Take a look, and please leave C&C
1. This was the best I could do with what I consider a pretty cliched shoot. The model wanted to do it, so I obliged, but it's pretty atypical of what one can do with a pretty girl and the football theme.
2.
This was sort of a take off a picture I saw an actress do once. We tore the pictures out of Business Week, taped them onto the side of my house, and only used pictures with men on it because it looked more interesting with all these men staring at her. I particular like the big guy in the overalls. The edit was a little orangey, but I was going for a retro feel. Even if I didn't achieve it fully, I left it because it smoothed her skin nice.
3. This shot was pure model. We found an interesting corner and went with it, her look really pulled it together. Something about the blob of paint on the right really sets it off for me. We wanted to do something with that outfit, and I was looking for something more "steel". I usually do some planned shots (as above) and then get in the car and drive around to look for something interesting, and this was a result of that.
4. Walking back from the above shoot we found a shopping cart, and she decided to get inside of it. I was hauling the camera, so she pushed it back to the spot we just used. I yelled "Jessica" and she turned around for this. What I like about this shot is the shadow zig zagging on the floor, and the blowouts on the ground.
5. The best shot of the day, in my opinion, and again it came as an accident after looking around. When she got in the cart we had an issue, as the dress was so short her bright blue underwear were showing, but when I saw what the sign said, I knew it would make a great way to obscure it. This time I almost cloned the little bob of paint out, but by now I liked the little guy. We spent a lot of time in this cart, but I think is the best one of those shots.
6. This model's eyes are amazingingly blue and crystal clear. So clear in fact when this image is blown up you can see myself in them! LOL This was a wide angle shot (18mm on the kit lens), and while I usually don't like "straight on" shots for portraits, this really put the emphasis on her eyes and not her slightly pronounced nose. The edit showed off her freckles, which I love, even if there is an orange cast on the photo.
