Modeling Shots

New to modeling shots...... please let me know what you think.

They look good to me, but try posting them in the glamour section you will probably get more/better feedback

2nd one is interesting. The first seems too dark.

Look up the rule of thirds. It's not a hard and fast rule, but it's useful sometimes.

nice shots with nice, soft lighting. just a little flat looking for my tastes. U gotta get some light into her eyes to draw u to them...

Thanks for the comments guys.

Beautiful model. Stunning, really.

Her eyes, the focus point of the images, are smack in the middle. Try pushing them out to a rule-of-thirds intersection. Number 2 is not well lit.

I 2nd what Wildewinds and Gooble said about the Rule of Thirds. By using that (or cropping better) you'll get rid of the escess space over her head in #1 and the wall to her left in #2.

focus pointed noted.... thanks. Does the rule of thirds always apply.... I would assume for all pics except closeups. I agree these would look much better set off out of center. My goal is to find the perfect modeling shots for this model that will make her stand out.

No it doesn't always apply, but it can certainly apply to closeups.

In the upper shot, the lighting on her face is ideal - good Rembrandt lighting which gives her facial contours 3-dimensionality. However, her pose does nothing for me at all. I would crop everything below her shoulders.

I don't think it works too well to have all that out of focus material occupying about 1/3rd of the image in the second shot.

I like the highlight in the hair and along her left cheek - otherwise her face is a little too dark.

I like the first one a lot.
Its print worthy.
I love the play of texture in the background.
Using just a touch of flash to give some life to the eyes would turn it from a nice image to a stunning one.
A bit more of a smile would make it better also.
A b/w conversion would rock properly done.

The second pic is dominated by the light oof area on the left which is a huge distraction.

The problem I have with both is her eyes are not alive in either. Other then that, I like them.

Yeah No. 1 is my favourite. You have her face dead centre though. I'd like to see less of the bricks above her head and more of the model. Aim the camera a little lower. Also, see if you can get more catchlights in her eyes showing...perhaps using a low power fill flash?

I like the pose and the location. Exposure looks good.

Bit dark in the second one and the big blur is distracting. Make your full face shots simple by not having anything else in the photo...just her beautiful face :-)
