portraits with new 50mm 1.8
What do you guys think. Would they be client worthy. Any suggestions to make them better.
1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.

Re: portraits with new 50mm 1.8
The lighting is just completely flat in every case. Learn how to use the light to create more 3-dimensionality - bring out the facial contours using shadows.

And if you shoot her again..ask her to use dark mascara.her eyes just melt into her face. I agree with Bob above about looking somewhat flat though.

Re: portraits with new 50mm 1.8
Too much saturation on this edit.you can see the purple on her arm.her eyes are so dark now...
 I like the shooting outside, but just have to find her a BG where it compliments her very fair skin and hair coloring. Anything dark green she is going to pick up in her hair...something neutral perhaps?

Re: portraits with new 50mm 1.8
Crop the trees out above her head( they were close to being her headwear
 ), tonal contrast and GND in the upper area.Any difference?

Re: portraits with new 50mm 1.8
Ok so you've already mentioned off camera flash and all i'd say is 'do it!'. Invest in a TTL lead and get that flash working for you. Also, try stepping down a couple of stops. Expose for the background, then use the flash on a reduced power setting to 'fill in' the subject. Finally, on a day like that, I wouldn't use flash at all. A reflector would do the job without any of the harshness! Cheers! Nik.
