Hi, Would love some feedback on the images i have added to my portfolio. https://www.modelmayhem.com/3094068 Regards Biju Aug 13 14 05:55 am Link I like your photos. One of them looks strange for me. But it is a very subjective judgment. I'm unable to understand emotions https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 8dc519.jpg No free space at right. He looks to the edge of the frame. Its strange https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 3bee9c.jpg Greetings! Aug 15 14 12:32 pm Link The images you have so far prove you understand how to control light. A good next step now would be to incorporate more emotion in your images. The models you've used so far all have the same expression paired with a simple pose.

I am still building my portfolio and it right now a weekend affair for me.

I need to plan my finances. Wish i was right now in US. Could approach you for help MissKatieMarie wrote: Aug 16 14 09:49 am Link Thank you for your time and kind words. I will keep this in mind and try and incorporate more emotions. During headshots, what are some of the go to emotions as a photographer i should look for?

Small details: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/3 … #/35699357 Remove the obtruding figure. Is this a figure shot or a figure in a landscape? Use the winding wall to lead into the figure or ignore it. As Sergey A Larin says, the wall as it is looks awkward. I so like the humanity in this-- it has character-- you can shoot emotion! https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/3 … #/36675672 Best wishes with your work. Aug 16 14 11:11 am Link You have a good sense for lighting and composition. Time to do some TF shoots with models instead of friends....cause if you can make your friends look that great, you'll make the models look amazing. Aug 16 14 12:32 pm Link Very good lighting. Interesting composition. I like it a lot. I would make the same comments that the others made - work on getting more expressiveness from the models. I joke with them during shoots, scare them, do whatever it takes to provoke a reaction. Of course, I have had some who would make Mr. Spock seem overwrought - you just can't help some of them. I had one model I could not get an expression out of to save his life. I managed to get him to crawl out on a branch over a lake for a shoot. Turns out he's terrified of water. I got the best shot of the day out of him that way. Its still his favorite photo. When you work with inexperienced models you sometimes have to go that extra mile to make the image come to life.
