2nd E shoot ever

I learned a lot from my first shoot and learned more from this one, any comments and or help on how I can improve is appreciated, no PP except for a little sharpening, and some crops.

1.

There's some cropping at the joints but overall, I like the sharpness, color and lighting in the pictures.

Except for the last one, I like the bright and shiny eyes in all of the pics.

cute shots.. 3 is my fav out of the batch. my only nitpic is cloning out all the white things on the guys shirt.

Do you use fill flash in all of your photos? Try experimenting out of the "norm". Try a mix of natural light photos and fill flash ocf etc.

Also try to incorporate wide angle and compose with the background. This way theres more story telling involved in the E session. Tight crops are great but if the a scenic area take advantage of it. If the area is not scenic tight shots work

Everyone is different but I like to shoot full raw and medium jpg. your #3 appears to have artifacting on the overexposed skin from the sunlight. Perhaps my assumption you shoot jpg but Raw may possibly recover a tad better.

only number 4 has OCF, all other photos are natural light only, some with a reflector OC to highlight hair like number 3.

I shoot full raw only. The artifacting that you see is not artifacting they are actually goose pimples on her arm with her arm hairs raised up, she was quite cold the whole session.

I agree however I do need to shoot wider and try to tell more of a story in some shots this is something I am working on in an effort to be more creative.

thx!!

Great shots, but they do seem aware of the camera...I like #5 the most, very nice
