Please, I really need some honest critics! Fashion Shoot

[Fellipe de Paula]

Hi all...
I'd very happy if I receive some honest critics about my first fashion photoshoot...

Here's the link: http://fellipedepaula.com/fashion.htm

Thanks!

Pick 3 and post them here and you'll get much better results. Too many to choose from and lots of people won't go offsite to look. Make it easy on 'em.

Compare 1 and 3. It looks like the wb is off in 1 and 4. I like the skin color in 3.
On 1, the pose is not good for a fashion shot since it doesn't show the dress well. But I still like the shot as a photo.

3 would be better if her upper body was not turned directly toward the camera. As is it makes her look a little "chunky". Her hair need fixin, the loose strands on her right arm look sloppy. I don't like to see the bottom of the model's shoes or feet in any pose unless they are perfectly clean/new.

On the forth, I like the pose but it makes her look a bit "hippy". ANd the drape of the dress looks sloppy.

Having said all that bad stuff about your photos, I'll say that I would love to be able to achieve this. It's easy to sit here and tell you what you did wrong and what I would do in your place but then I try it and it gets really hard to get everything right in a single photo.

I hope you can get your model to work with you again cause it's much easier when you model is already a step ahead!

The pose in #1 is awkward. The dress stretched out like that on the right side looks un flattering.

In the others, the model is trying to hide her teeth. You can tell she is either shy or at least conscious of them. It would be great if you could convince her that everything is cool and its ok to open her mouth. I'm sure she has a killer smile!

I also think that you smoothed her skin too much. It is overdone and un natural
