First Shoot. Thoughts? Critiques?

This is the first "real" shoot I've done. It was for a family member, but I still tried to take it as a real as possible. Kinda hectic in that I don't really have any experience in posing, etc., so I did the best I could.

Would love to hear thoughts and critiques so that I could use it to improve.

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry... read the rules and changed from a link to the set on Flickr a few I liked from the shoot. Thanks.

Thank you. Yeah, first one is hazy and was shot into the sun. She had seen a few photos that she liked that were that style, so that's what we did.

Yeah some people like it. I personally like the sharper cleaner looking pictures.

I hear ya. I'm not usually a huge fan of less than sharp photos either.

#3 is the sharper cleaner looking image the only one that draws your eye in to the image this shot the stand out image from your set ...........

This is certainly one of the better "first shoot" threads I've seen here, and also much better than some "pro" shots I've seen here. I think you're off to a great start. Very well done. Your exposure is great, the poses work well, and your locations are interesting. People get paid good money to produce photos much less appealing. Congrats on your natural talent.

Great looking set. I personally like the look of #1 and I really like #3. Very nice work!

Like 1&2 most. Not a fan of 4. Not a flattering angle or focal length.

Great set, all very well done.

Thanks. What would recommend I change with number 4? Is shooting from above like that just not a good idea? Or do I need a wider lens to make it work?

I appreciate it.

awesome shots !!

all of them are wonderful! #1 probably doesn't fit in as much since it has its own different style, but it's still good to me. #3 is ridiculously good.

Looks good.
