E-session Jenny & Joel

Did this engagement session Saturday night. First time doing night portraits. C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Image 1:

the first 4 look good... the rest look like theyre blurred because of shake or misfocus

Love 1,5 and 7.
5 and 7 do look a tad out of focus, but correctable I think?
Nice work.

My favorite

Overall not bad. Night shooting is tricky.

1 - They are too dark in comparison with the window IMO. Plus their faces just look a little odd, and no hands.. You have to be careful with kissing shots.

2 - Not bad.. the reflection in the ring on the right diamond is a pity since it's blown out.. but otherwise focus and exposure look good.

3 - Ceiling bounce? Their browbones are making their eyes a little dark. The lines going into their heads may be a little distracting.Otherwise, it is a cute, classic shot.

4 - Not a fan of this one. Very yellow/orange, he looks almost irritated and there is a strong shadow on the front of her face.

5 - Now THIS is cute. They both look happy and I like the backlighting.

6 - I don't mind some motion in the background, I would have perhaps sent the ISO to 800 and raised the shutter speed. Also.. are you setting your flash on rear shutter sync? It helps better freeze your subject and letting the background move. His mouth looks a little odd, but I don't really dislike the shot..

7 - Focus looks more on the wall than their faces. I do dig the composition, and they look sweet.. but the wall is really drawing into my eye.. Just not quite there.

8 - Hmm with a shoe focused shot like this.. you need more surrounding IMO. Trust me.. I've taken a few Their shoes aren't all that fancy, and they look a little worn.. they need more interaction with the background to make this work.

I'm just gonna agree with the above. It seems you had a seriously bad time with camera shake and motion blur. number 5 is your best. I need to do more shots like that.

i like 1,2,3,5,7
4. the guy doesn't seem to be too happy which makes the picture look kinda awkward
6. seems to be blurry

I like 7, but i agree with the focus.
