Presenting Natallie - First Shoot With A Model

[Red]

Just before New Year I did my first shoot with a model. It was meant to be to get a feel for how we can work together, what works, what extra props and clothing we need, etc, but I definitely was hoping to get a few usable shots out of it. No make-up or hair stylist, which I'm realising is very important

The model was great, did everything I asked of her and more. Unfortunately two problems combined to make a fairly big one. My first attempt with my lighting equipment (if you can call it that) proved it not to be as powerful as I hoped. And I forgot my tripod mount attachment! D'Oh! Result is handheld long exposures and a lot of shake.

A few useable shots came out of the day. Here's the first one I've finished post processing. What do you guys think?

Here's another that wasn't intended, but I quite like it anyway. Just not sure what to do with the colouring

Is that a compliment? :confused: :lol:

I'll arrange another shoot once I get my lighting situation sorted. Being winter doesn't help either :mad:

No ideas about the colouring of the 2nd shot?
