Sep 19 14 11:40 am Link Models left hand cropped off Out of focus models left knee is a distraction [Just a big black object blocking view of her midsection] The lime green chair is a distraction, if the legs were not covered by black material they could possibly hold their own against the chair Black background is tilted and distracting; better if it were way out of focus Because the models left arm is tucked tight into her body you have lost the shape of her mid section as well Models chin seems tucked in and tense, model also has minimal expression In this photo the model has a lot of life and looks relaxed Wish you well Sep 19 14 02:41 pm Link Lee_Photography wrote: +1 Sep 19 14 04:09 pm Link I understand using the green chair. I'm not sure how else you'd shoot this woman other than by keeping it a little bit "rock and roll" and the green chair contributes to though without your green tag in the photo I could see how there might be some problem with balance otherwise. I'd like a little bit looser crop and to be able to see into the blacks more. Her head tucked back is making her look a little bit manly. It would be nice to see more neck. Happy shooting!

A little background...I chose the green chair b/c the model had a edge to her and I thought using the bold pop of green would play well with her attitude in conjunction with the dark studio. It's certainly not for everyone, but I liked the difference and color it brought to the image. Happy shooting! Sep 22 14 09:29 am Link |
