Brittany at Sunset! C&C Welcome!

Great captures! Small nitpick, I think you have a piece of dust on the sensor in the upper left. You can see it in the dark BG upper left in 1 & 4.

Ah damn. I suspect you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out

Goto love the golden hour shots....good work!

The portraits look great and it looks like you had a lot of fun! One suggestion is that I think the light seems a little harsh. In the first picture, which I think is the best in the series, the light is still harsh on the face. I think even a reflector could have helped a bit.

But they turned out really well overall, especially since portraits aren't your forte. Well done.

Haha, believe it or not I love the super harsh sunset light in portraits like that. Not sure why. But thanks! Humans are not my thing.. dogs are.

2 and 3 for me. Good stuff!

last shot is full of win. Looks like you hit magic hour perfect

+1 for these as well. she looks great

Mind if i ask what settings?

Last shot is the winner the first is a close second the others have lighting and composition issues in my opinion. Nice series none the less.

Great shots. Love the sunset lighting.

Agree that a reflector is necessary on these...

The Golden Hour sun works PERFECTLY for this redhead...really sets her ablaze nicely.
Expressions are great, natural. Lovely girl. Great compositions.

Small nitpicks:
1. You might want to clean up the bags under her eyes / raccoon eyes in post.
2. Small "bunny ears" effect in last one. Shoot at a little bit more of an angle so that the feet aren't so behind her head. I'd also clean up the spots on her feet a little.

Very nice work! Love the lighting, composition and your model is very attractive. The first and last iamges are my favorites. Your model has very nice skin but she may like a little touch up here or there. Again, very nice series.

I like the series overall. Personally I would have eliminated the white sky and opted for backlit with a more solid background. I would probably would have shot without any filter to eliminate flare, though I think you did control that quite well considering shooting into the sun. It seems in #3 she is competing with the white sky since she's facing into it and and occupies the left side of frame.

I think you did a good job keeping her face illuminated. Was that just through the sky or did you use a reflector?
