Geli: Portraits

Hey guys! Today some recent portaits of my girlfriend. Let me know what you think. Comments welcome!

they look wonderful, she looks very relaxed. love the coloring.

These are great overall. The only critique I have is to watch the direction of your lighting. On the first one, you lit her from the short side of her face and that looks great. The other 2 pictures, you lit her from the broad side of her face, which makes her face look wider than it is. She almost looks like a different person in the last 2 shots.

Good advice! Thank you!

One of the other reasons she looks like a different person in the last shots is that you have some perspective distortion from using the 50mm lens too close in the first shot. Note how her nose looks wider and more pronounced compared to the last two shots. Using a wider lens closer is less flattering for most people.
