A First Time for Everything

This is the first time she was photographed as a model, and also the first time I photographed a model.

Sorry, but she does not look like a willing model. Overall, she looks awkward & wishing to be somewhere else. A small smile might make all the difference.

First time jitters perhaps, but how would she be an unwilling model?

Thank you Stan.
I felt awkward for a while whereas she was an uninhibited free-bird. She was a good first time experience for me. We have done sessions after this, a couple of which I have posted earlier.

Definitely an awkward shoot displaying an awkward, pose, awkward smile, and an overall uncomfortable situation for the model. Perhaps this will improve with some more practice and much more confidence by the model.
I understand that it was a first for both you and the model, so, no criticism on your shoot - just real comments because of your shooting situation. Get her comfortable, and you as well, and then start working on the lighting, and then thirdly the pose(s).
Best Regards,
Tom

Nice work--both of you. Congratulations for not posing her with a bitchy look on her face.

Although she does look a bit nervous, your lighting is perfect, your exposure is spot on, and the entire image is in focus. Great shot!

After looking at the pictures you have posted I appreciate your honest feedback. How did you learn?

Less lighting on the chest and more on her face is my take.
Did I have my soft box too close to her? I think it was about 3 feet from her. I was told to have a soft box just as close as possible to have the best lighting from it.

I appreciate feedback from photographers who understand lighting and posing and who have advanced amateur or professional experience. Your pictures posted from one trip to a strip club are less than interesting. Your assessment of this woman is not even close to accurate.
I enjoy your outdoor pictures of nature. If I post outdoor pictures of nature I would appreciate your comments on them.
