I shot this of this model at a local workshop i held for a small group of photographers in Houston.

She is a beautiful model.

I am no expert, but the last photo seems more like a portrait than a fashion shot. I thought that in fashion the model generally does not look into the camera? Also, if it is fashion, what is being "sold" in #2 & #3? The 1st shot could be selling the jeans or the whole outfit.

Also, in the 3rd shot, I would consider editing out the bruise (I think) on her upper arm and it appears on my monitor that she has red eye?

I think the skin color in #1 is too yellow for me and in #2 & #3 it looks more natural.

I like the vinette effect you employed in all three photos. It draws the eye to the subject. The DOF in #3 is also very good.

Thanks

I don't know what defines fashion. But, All three are great shots....Sounds like it was good time to hown skills a bit.

The first picture was intended to be like that after the blow out filter i applied to it. So yes, it was meant to look a bit yellowish.

#3, yeah, it does look more like a portrait. The vignette effect i like, but not on everything. There are some images that can really stand out with it, and some that get just plain ugly.

Thanks for the CC everyone. I am glad the over all look of them was satisfying.
