Aug 23, 2008 23:58 | #3 I'm no expert either, but the dress and background are too close for my liking. Also, when you're posing models you should make sure they don't put any weight on their arms/hands/legs...whatever they are supporting..I know it sounds awkward. Her left arm in #1 has an unnatural bulge where it is resting on her knee and her right upper arm and hand are pretty tense. Then again in #2 her right upper arm is tense from supporting herself. It can make her tricep bulge, making her upper arms look unnatural. Hope I explained it well enough..

I've only ever shot on a black backdrop and never had the model in all black as it just gets completely lost. www.gp-photography.com

I had to shoot the full lenght shots with the stupid kit lens as I couldn't get far enough away from the subject with my 50 mm. I will post a couple more with a different colored outfit to see if they look any better to you.

As for posing I've shot a few senior sessions and like to joke around and observe the person for what looks normal for them. The second pose seems a bit too posed and uncomfortable/unnatural. I made the mistake on my very first session by telling the kid that fingers pointed twoard the camera looked bad. It made him self conscious the rest of the session, the things we learn the hard way. I like the first one as the model seems relaxed. My $0.02 worth, adjusted for inflation the value is less than a cupon for expired pet food.
