Senior photoshoot with Chelsea

Hello,

I haven't posted here for a very long time due to school and work. Now that I only have to go to school, I have some time to post. Anyway this is my first senior session. Unlike engagement shoot where you can have the couples interact with each other, this senior shoot was a bit awkward. I didnt know how to pose my subject much. Does anyone have any suggestion on how direct my subject in a session like this?

not bad but I never like the tilting grounds.

Agree with Bobbyz on the tilting

thanks for the feedbacks. I just now starting to tilt to give it a more trendy look. Any more vote on no tilt?

I got lucky because this client is pretty photogenic. These are her own poses

I think you did pretty good on these. I don't mind the tilt in some photos. There does seem to be a tad bit to much empty space at the top of each one though.

Another vote for no tilt here. Otherwise, nice shots.

I vote for only an occasional tilt. Too many get overwhelming.

Is it my monitor or do these look a touch soft? Did you do any sharpening in post processing?

good pictures. not a fan on tilt also. crowe it is soft.

I find that tilts work best on wild and crazy things. If you shoot a portrait of a clown, go for it. For something classy, no.

Needs a closer crop on some of these, particularly the first one.

I agree I'm not a huge fan of tilt and I personally think the images are too soft... but it's up to the client also if she likes it or not

I don't like the tilt either but when I was doing a senior shoot the other day, the girl specifically asked that I tilt some of the images. It's very hard to make yourself do it if you hate it, I'll tell you that.

My personal tastes are against the tilt image; my daughter however loves them.

Our job is to determine what the intended audience is looking for if we are being paid for it; artistic expression however is purely subjective and one should not care what others think when you are shooting for fun.

Nice colors. I agree with the odd tilting. And her face is too centered in the last photo.

I really like the shot in the library - lighting looks great

Generally, no tilt here; but I think it works ok in the last one. I like the shots, overall, though.
