Default My first Model Mayhem model shoot

Ok, well I did shoot some models during a workshop I took, but this is the first time I contacted one on my own for a shoot. She is just a senior in high school, but she did a great job and was so pretty. Had to share the first few I have processed with you.

Oh I should mention I did this to get some practice shooting in the direct sun. Up til now I've been staying away from it, but after these I'm pretty pleased with them and wont feel I need to hide in the shade anymore.



(I wish her hair hadn't been so much in her eyes in the one above, it was really windy! I still liked the colors in it though.)

I'm glad the hair isn't bothering you guys then. I was thinking I might get some comments about how it shouldn't have been. That makes me feel even better! Thanks for the compliments, she definately was pretty!

You've done a great job focusing viewers' attention on her terrific looks. I also like the second shot best; the (mostly) empty background gives a sense of depth behind her and makes her seem right in front of you. Nicely done!

WOW what amazing shots.. i really like the second one because the background makes her stand out really nice.. and you get a sense of feeling being far from the city. amizing job.. the hair in her eyes doesn't bother me at all because the shot is so well done..
the third shot seems to me maybe just a little over exposed in her head.. but still amazing!! good job!
