Why I love photography.......CC please

[Jeanelle]

I like all of them except #2 because you showed most of her body which isn't as attractive as her face (she is also trying to cover her tummy with her arm).

Her face is quite pretty and that is why if you give it a tighter crop, the results will be so much better.

Is this recommendation just for your viewing, or for the client? I would think they would want other shots than just a close-up of her face? She has a beautiful face, but I was trying my best with the posing to make her look her best. I am still trying to learn with the posing.

Can anyone help me with my EXIF data? I would really like to know what to do differently!!!! Thanks!

What sort of help do you want/need with your EXIF data?

With respect to your earlier questions, almost invariably, the solution to an over-exposed image is more light! The use of additional light either in the form of reflectors, or fill lights will allow you to reduce the overall dynamic range of the image and obtain a better exposure.

Thank you, that is exactly what I am looking for! I will make sure and use my reflectors more next time!

Jeanelle a little over exposed is better than under IMO. You might just try an adjustment curve or something to bring back a little more detail. I don't think you need to change the way you take pictures but just change the editing a little.

One more quick thing, whatever you're editing is changing her eye color also. She has beautiful blue eyes, I don't know that she would like to have green ones in some of them.

Thank You so much! I really appreciate it, and will look into my editing. I created a preset, and I use it all the time basically. I used so many different things, I hope that I can remember and be able to go back and re-create it with some minor tweaks!
