Sweaty Palms and all...Newbie

[brenicole]

Hey everyone. I think everyone's work here is gorgeous. Here is the last shoot I did... and particularly why I've asked Nick for workshop info! LOL. This was shot in SF, Ca and I've retouched them. The client wanted some sexy shots for her husband. Opinions, tips, critiques, suggestions, all welcomed.

get some light in her eyes

What's the best way to do that? I noticed her eyes were very dark in post processing. Is it the positioning of my strobes? Reflectors? Any suggestions?

You might also trying coming in a little tighter on your subject. Sometimes if the background is just some ordinary stuff, getting in close can eliminate useless background objects. It's hard to specifically say what to do in a given shot, but ask yourself when you are looking through the viewfinder if what you're seeing is ready for the cover of a calendar-sometimes that can help you in the composition. Hope that is helpful!

The images are nice. My advice is don't be afraid to crop in tighter. Since this was a project for the clients husband i think cropping tighter would def make the images more intimate and personal. The background and setting is nice but takes to much attention from the model.
