Josslyn Senior 2010

We did this shoot at 6 p.m. and at times were working with minimal light. Im hoping her second shoot that we will be doing closer to the fall will be better.

VERY nice series Christy. Love love love #2...the dress, the brick, the door, all works so perfectly together!

Christy, you have some cool locations there for shooting. The senior will be pleased with these I'm sure. There are a few things I would change to make these possibly better. If your interested in CC, I will PM you?

I am always up for CC. You may definately PM me.

Nice job Christy! I like the processing on 2 and 3.

Thank you!

If the two of U don't mind the CC could be where we all could use the lessons.

Majority of them were natural light i do believe. On a few of the shots i got of her, i had to use my external flash difussed. But it was not on many of them that i had to use it.

these are great! is CC not allowed here or we saving it for PM's? just curious.
I think #2 is a bit bright. Not blown, but her light skin, arm is quite bright....yet I love the dress and pose with this building and the lines.
love the country girl feel on the lake in #6 and just love #8.

Thank you. CC is allowed. Some people do not want to offend by giving it, if the OP did not ask for it.

My critique.

#2 is over exposed. Her skin is nearly losing any color detail.
#4 awkward left art cut off, you go the hand but lost the middle of the arm. Either have it all or cut it off but don't have parts of it.
#5 she is too centered and too far away from the camera
#6 really bad lens flare, unless you added all that in developing. If you did, try it developed normally.
#7 she looks uncomfortable standing there in heels like that, similar to #5
#8 her skin is over exposed. You've made her skin into the brightest of highlights when they probably should not have been. There is little detail in her skin hence it becomes "flat" looking. Not every photograph has highlights nearing being blown out.

The last photos, aren't a flattering side view of her. Try move slimming poses instead, e.g. shots taken from above her.

Although i am open to any cc, i do not agree with some of what you have cc'd. Also i have looked into your posts..you have only posted maybe 1 "people" shot that i can see and it is very flat and lacking contrast. Most of your posts are CC on other people's threads and they are just about all negative. I think you are way overlooking in my opinion. Most of what you have mentioned was intentional such as the lens flare in #6 (which was not added in PP) and was at the client's request, and the high contrast skin tones such as #8 (which do not look blown out on my calibrated monitor). In #5 she is not centered at all, and i wanted to be able to get the rusty building and the grass in the shot. In #7 i dont see how she looks uncomfortable standing in the heels. If someone is going to cc me, i just think that they should be following the same cc that they are giving. Like i said, you rarely post anything for other's to CC, yet you tear everyone else's apart. If i am going to take someone's advice, i would like to know that it is someone that at least knows what they are talking about.
