Just a normal photo-shoot I had yesterday. OPINIONS PLEASE!

[BrentGambrell]

Can I get an opinion, or two? ORRRRRRRRRRR..hundreds?

Very Nice! The model is very pretty and I like the somewhat urban feel of them. Good work.
Did you get any of her smiling?

OK, I like the first and third...not sure of the middle one, busy background, don't think I like her position, and her right arm which I seem to be drawn to. I really like the third one on the tracks...good diagonal lines, eyes right in the rule of thirds...nice shot
On the first one, my wife who is a portrait photographer, has a thing about jewelry in shots..if it really adds to the photo in some way she's fine with it, but if it doesn't, she'll ask the client to remove it. So the bracelet...I think she would have asked her to remove it

I like the 3rd one the best.

However no 1 can be improved with the use of the healing brush on the models face and I also agree that the bracelet is a distraction. Cheers, Bernz

wow she has great eyes! I really like the 1st and 3rd. I agree that the 2nd one seems a little too busy.
She's to pretty not to smile even a little bit. Nice work!

Brent, I all ways try to form my opinion before reading any replies. Photo 1, I really like her blue eyes. But it looks about 1/4 to 1/3 stop over exposed (all 3 do.) The bracelet does draw attention.
The rusty steps on the second photo are distracting.
And the last is about safety, I am up dated yearly on Rail Road Track fatality at my work, in the USA only, there are on average 1 person killed every day on a Rail Road Track. I would find a new location and keep the shutter clicking.

Well, as you are a Kentuckian and you must know that a lot of people request railroad+tunnel photos if location is possible.


I shoot on railroads all the time. It's perfectly safe. It would be different if I tied my client down and said, "Okay, thanks for the beautiful shots, bye bye!"


Thanks for the comments. Her bracelet... I asked her to remove it, but both bracelet and necklace held a great significance to her, so, I didn't bother her about removing it.

I really like the first one. Her eyes pop and you can see them clearly. The second one I like it but her clothes dont match the background so it looks a little off. The third one to me seems not centered right. When I look at it the first think I noticed was her arm and not her face.

For this shoot, I didn't want her to match any part of the background..since most of them were very alley way style photos.

The third photo, looked better with an angle instead of her head in the middle, in my opinion. I didn't want to break the rule of thirds and get screamed at. With angles, instead of the focal point being right dead center.. it adds a twist a little...and it makes you think. Most photos I've seen with focal points dead on center, it destroys the photo.


Thanks for your comment!
