Here's a few photos from yesterday's shoot. She was looking for some shots for her jewlerly/fashion line, and afterwards we decided to just take some fun shots.. thanks for looking!

1.

Those conversions look really great good job do you mind telling how you did it?

I shot them in black & white actually, then just played with the curves, contrast/brightness & did a little bit of minor dodging and burning.
edit: Thank you for the compliment!

Nice shots, although the first one would have been so much better if she didn't have a bench sticking out the side of her head.

I agree completely.. I tried to clone it out, but failed miserably.. anyone feel like giving it a try?

You should turn on 'image editing ok' in your profile.

I haven't got PS on the machine I'm sat behind at the moment otherwise I would give it go. Looks like a tricky one though.

There we go! Sorry about that; i'm still pretty new here! Can someone give it a go?

I really like #2!

thank you! how should I attempt to clone out the bench in number two?

I like the composition in #2. Some jewelry is nice, but the lines of the necklace are a little distracting. It seems like she's thinking of something dirty/funny and trying not to smirk... it also looks like she's listening to music... but I think that's the weird lines in the necklace making me think about headphones.

Haha, it's funny that you say that; the whole point of the shoot (before we did these fun ones) was to get shots of her fashion/jewelery collection. Thanks for the comments/critique!
