This is one of (very few) attempts at taking staged photographs. I decided I didn't want to purchase photos from the school photographer - who often doesn't do a fantastic job, anyway. Please give me your ideas, thoughts and most importantly, your professional critiques... My biggest question is - would you accept this as a "portrait"? Should I have fixed the minimal strands of hair that hs fallen in her face? Does she look to white, bright or otherwise? Is it too soft? Thanks in advance.
