Hello friends,
Thanks for the comments!
She's a friend because we shot, but she's a young lady wanting to start her portfolio. We went with fashion poses and I don't see how any of them look forced. They aren't typical general portrait poses so that may be where the breakdown is? She's a new, new, new model, so she was down for whatever I told her to do.
@Davor: I struggled with the legs. She's very muscular by nature as she's a dancer and works with free weights. Her direct quote is "Anyone who doesn't work with free weights is a *****" So I wanted to include that into the photos as working out is very important, but I didn't want to focus on it for the fact she has a lot of muscle popping images in her book, I just went with the flow on these. Put her in fashion poses and rode with the wind.
Thanks again guys! Lighting was simple one light up high.
