Originally posted by Calioboe Hi all. I'm new to portrait photography so I'm just looking for some good CC. Here are some from a senior shoot I did last week, and a few other portraits from the last few months of friends.
Also would love to hear everyone's lens preferences for similar work!
Thanks!
They are all very nicely done. My personal favorite is the second to last. I think this lovely lady could have been posed a bit better. Perhaps with her right elbow on the edge of the chair with her right hand supporting the back of her head. A wider smile with a little teeth showing would have added a great deal to the portrait. Also, I would have left out the instrument. To me, portraits are personal and should not have any distractions. Speaking of which, you did a marvelous job shooting in a way that has no shadows. That in of itself is quite an accomplishment. I have no doubt you will be a wonderful photographer and I am looking forward to viewing more of your work.
Thanks,
Tony
