Attempting Some Fashion!!!

[Karina J]

I took this Picture at a old closed down asylum. Been standing empty since 1984.
I was really lucky with the light. Perfect time of the day. Tried getting the sun at in models back, so i could get her a little more lit up. When i didnt have any reflector. Used the roof to bounce the flash.
Am really happy with the lighting over all in the img.
Please please... Come with some critique. I NEED IT Wanna know what i could have done different.

I like it!

Maybe play with the crop a bit?

[joe27]

For me it seems like the subject/model is a little to far away. A little cropping might cure that.

The model doesn't stand out enough for me but this is a good shot though

[AdrenoJunkie]

I agree with everyone else. The couch seems to be the main subject. Overall though it's a very good photo. The lighting is great, it's nice and sharp, and the setting is awesome. You're really lucky to have a place like that to take photos.

[MrJones]

I agree with the rest.
try cropping it differently, this is one way, though I'm not sure it's the best one.

[Karina J]

Tank you all for all the reply. Happy for it.

Am not sure if this was the thing i weren't allowed to do..... (one a day?)
but here is a version that is a bitt different.
We shoot a few ones on the same location. So i got to try out some different frames.
But i can play with the cropping a bitt.
I just wanted to have the sofa in the picture. Felt it had so much soul?



Is this picture better?
There is also a few more on flickr.

Again Thank you

[MrJones]

are you going back for a re-shoot?
I'm asking cause I think the window is actually the "boring" object in the room.
you can try posing her with the wall as the background and the window will supply the natural side lightning. same with posing her on the sofa.
I think with the side lightning or with her shadow appearing on the wall, you can get some amazing photos!

I have to say I like it, the place is interenting, kind of romantic to me. I agree MrJones, the sofa idea is pretty basic, you should try it if you can do a re-shoot.
Or maybe she sitting at the window trying to fit in the frame, do you get what I mean ^-^ jajaja I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself.
The light perfect, the place, the outfit could be a little more colorfull because her clothes look like the wall paper color, but overall I like it. Just remember that in fashion you most to show the clothes or the accesories so shoot nearer, show me your next work I'll be happy to take a look to your photos

[Karina J]

Mr Jones And Irene Sofia. Thank you both. Yeah. i love the idea of the shadow.
I wont be able to get a back there before summer time. But thats perfect. Have more time with the light SO i will for sure try that out. And also i will try out to have some different clothes, maybe a really nice dress?

I will also have to say, that i guess it is very wrong of me to say that it is fashion. I just wanted to try out something that maybe could have appeared in a magazine (don't mean this, just like the style)
This girl is an artist, and working on here first album. So we basically been shooting lots of different stuff. Been really fun. Loved it.
I do have some window shots actually SO thats good. Its just hard to decide which one to post here.

here i have added one, with a more siluett kinda look. I really like this one as well. (It was kinda not going to be like that... the flash didn't go off... heheh.... and it looks pretty cool, fun to learn from mistakes)
