R&D e-session

I haven't share here in a long time.....

This couple was an absolute blast to be around - I can't wait to photograph their wedding.

All shot in the harsh sun - it was the only time the couple had to meet.

C&C welcome.

I like them, they look happy and fairly relaxed and there's a nice variety to them, I am sure they will love them.

Specific feedback

1. He looks a bit hunched up, relaxing his shoulders would have helped imo.

2. I like the concept, I think it may have been more flattering if the girl was slightly sideways on though, standing women square on to the camera can make them look larger.

3 and 4 are a great example of how you can take pounds off people by shooting from a slightly higher angle, they look so much slimmer in shot 4.

5 I like it, shame about the distracting elements at the girls feet but still a nice shot.

6. Bit hot on the right side of her face.

Jon,

Thanks for the comments.

Totally agree with all your critics. Really wish I had of got his feet in shot # 5. Shot #6 is the best I could do with the harsh sunlight, low ISO and shooting wide open - it was hard to find shade. I really do not like how 3 & 4 show here (using photobucket) - on my computer they are much sharper.

Off camera flash and shade? it looks like you had a nice looking forest behind you so the sun shouldn't of mattered. On your blog you have a few good shots in the shade but it looks like you enjoy shooting in the harsh sun the most.
