Default First Senior Pictures

Hello again everyone! I did my first photo shoot for a family friend's daughter and have been working on editing. Thanks for looking!

Number3 copy

Number2 copy

Number1 copy

This one was just for fun, I played a little with the antique techniques.

Number4 copy

These are pretty nice. I think my favorites are numbers 2 and 3. The background in 1 is a bit too busy for my taste, and 4 is a bit too grainy for me as well. Overall, these are good shots. The poses look great.

I love the background in the first shot. Very interesting. Where is it?

a nice set of shots although I agree with Jamfke about the last one and wonder if it would be better without the grain effect or alternately maybe keep the grain but do it in B&W or sepia

This shot was taken at the marina in downtown Olympia Washington.

Thanks for the comments. I want to try again with number four and will try some of your suggestions

Ashley, overall these are very well done. #2 and #3 are my favorites. I too, like another commented, think the background in #1 is a little busy for my taste. I'd love to see your #4 after your adjustments

Thank you! I think so too, when comparing the two, it is much clearer. The grain level on the first one was WAY too much. I think I am completely hooked on these forums/website now
