Default One Year Later...

I realized today that it's been almost a year since I had my very first paying gig as a photographer!! It seems like so so much longer than that... DPS has been such a great resource for me as a beginning photographer! My teachers probably got a little tired of me always being on here instead of doing my homework... but it was worth it for me. Thanks everyone for being so helpful

I thought I'd share one from my very first senior session last October, and a couple from my latest session last weekend.




It's weird how much different my work is after just a year!
I'd love to hear some comments on my progression, and what I should work for so that next year I'll have some better things to show!

Wow! I'd say that's quite a leap forward. It gives me hope for my photography!

Your composition improved, your client's pose is more natural and your post processing is a lot nice. I'll guess that you're a lot more comfortable now posing your client than you were a year ago.

Isn't this a great place to learn? I see improvement in so many people (including me) just by watching their shots. Your second shots are composed so much better and are crisper and clearer. Well done.
