kimmy outdoor portraiture.

[Cliff666]

this set is from a portraiture i did for a friend about a month ago little less.

also anyone ever use the sigma 24-60 f2.8???? i honestly dont know what to think of this lens so far =/ anyone have any experience where this lens ussually gets sharp sharp at? f2.8 im having mixed feelings at wide open f5 seems ok but just wonder anyone elses experiences with this discontinued lens i feel like i may have been jipped by the camera store locally who sold me this in trade+ cash for my old trusty Tokina 12-24 which i sold because in my move over to a FF soon.

thanks in advance for any C&C!

I like #6 best.

#s 1-2 her arms are pulled too far back.

#s 3-4 her expression looks like she wasn't ready for you to take the shot.

#s 5-7 the rimlight was a little heavy for my taste in that particular scene.

I agree about the first two, the arms back pose doesnt work. I like the others although she tends to rely on a bemused sly smile, perhaps a full smile might be nice.

Agreed with above, #1 & #2 arms are way too far back

#5
-watch those hands, looks like she's missing both of them

#5 & #7
- turn the rimlight down a bit, and maybe a nice gel

Overall they are good shots. Does this girl know you well? She is looking a little shy and reserved. Wish I could see her jumping through the scene or doing something with a bit more activity rather than just sitting there looking at you.

But it's better than most. I bet if you reshot this with the same girl she would be much more comfortable appearing the second time around.

One more thing, I could do without the black and white post processing. They are adding absolutely nothing to the shots and in fact taking away a good bit. She is disappearing into the background in the b&w shots.

Of course, she probably thinks the b&w is really cool. :)

I knew I saw these photos before.

And it looks like you already made up your mind on the lens. lol.

Personally, I don't think the lens is bad at all. Looks sharp enough, IMO.

Does she smile at all?

Does she smile at all?
