C & C Senior Portraits

I did a senior session last week and these are a few of my favorites... what do you think?

I like the first one best. The second one is nice too. The last one has too many dark shadows IMO. Maybe a tighter crop and a bit of fill light would help.

The skin tones seem ok on the first two, but you cut off her left arm a bit on both photos. And I'm not a fan of the style of #3 for senior photos. I'm a bit of a traditionalist not wanting to venture into fads. I feel that style in 20 years will be viewed as "what the heck kind of portrait was that?"

I like the first 2, but I would of given a little more room in #2 for her to be "looking into"

I agree with the cutting off of the arms. either back out for the shot, or tighten the crop of these to head shots.

Beautiful portraits all in all. The worn out backgrounds that you used for the first two add something unusual to them, it's always nice to see a change of pace. I do agree with the arms being cut off, it would have gave it that extra push to a great photograph had they not been. #3, I agree that for a senior portrait it doesn't really fit in with the rest. As a separate photograph, it's beautiful, I would use a tighter crop and maybe make it a little bit straighter.

The Angled door frame works for me in #2 not so much in #1 to straight to be crooked to cooked to be straight.
Don't much care for #3

Lighting and skin tones are just great!
Expressions well captured. Even in shot of model looking away from camera nothing is lost. I feel like I'm in conversation with her.

I'm not thrilled about the polka dots and white bands. something more earthy may have set her into the scene better? Or Maybe Purple/burgundy tones with more muted patterns.

Agree with above posts on cropping issues

fill card would have helped throw some light onto her right arm in #2 (there is a funny color cast there atm) can probably be fixed in post.
