First shot at Glams

[go1982team]

Hello critics, these are some first shots at glam..with Star.. as always let me know what you think could be done better (besides the Misquito bite )

She doesn't look as comfortable in these as she did in your other thread. The lighting needs some work too. Try getting a copy of RG's first book. It's got quite a bit of good info about the lighting. I'm in the same boat when it comes to lighting. I'm not there yet. But I'm learning to look at my shots and realize what I haven't got right yet.

She's an attractive model. I hope to see more of your work with her.

Yeah, I think you need some supplemental lighting. Something to cut down those shadows and brighten up the eyes. A reflector or small light equipment. Something like a Garry Fong "Light Sphere" would work well here. Even a flash with a bounce card. Very cheep & effective. Thats if your flying solo.

As already said about using a portable flash with a diffuser on it..
#2 is the best pose..#3 The fingers should be closer together...No space between them...

I hoped you sprayed the area ahead of time with a bug repellent..OFF makes one just for this kind environment. for camping I guess..

BUT all in all....I think you got some good shots off.

I agree with the others about the lighting and such. I find the woods to be very distracting. Better use of DOF would have helped I think...but then you are in the available light trap.

#3 is my favorite.
