Same coat, two different versions.

Shot A?

Of course, opinions, observations, reactions, and harsh criticism are always welcome. smile

I like the pose on B but prefer the backdrop and correct exposure of A

I really dislike the composition of A. It's unbalanced, and not in the good rule-breaking way.

I think Shot B is the better shot, more dynamic and interesting.  The thing is are you asking which is the better shot or which is the better fashion shot?  As a pure fashion shot I would say Shot A as I can see the whole coat in its entirety - if I would the designer of the coat  I would say about Shot B "Cool shot, but you can't see my coat very well"

Jorge, B looks great and fits in well with your style, whereas A is a little more on the tame side of things. (when I look at A, I don't think, oh that's Jorge's work)

Dig the rawness of B.

I'm trying to find her other leg on A.

B.
A I do not like because there's so much empty space above model.

The colored backdrop in A, but the pose all day in B.

B! much more powerful. Not a big fan of the composition on A.

I also don't like the pose in A, but it works better for fashion than B, if fashion is your focus. B is a cool shot, though a tad blown for my tastes, but I think that is part of what gives it the "edgy" appeal.

Cheers!

Thank you, guys. I like both photos, but tend to lean towards B as well.

Shot A shows the coat, her face is cleaner, with a nice leg thrown in.  But she is too close to the bottom of the frame* IMO and your logo covers the heel of her shoe.

The pose in Shot B is cramped and messy, IMO again.

*I would try to correct this with clone or content aware fill.
