Nice shots. They capture the mood and emotion. I'd like the 1st one better if the subject's face ws visable in the mirror.

How are you doing your b/w conversations? It looks like you are using a preset/action and there is no thought to the process. They look more grey/grey than black/white.

#1 - Her face should have been turned a little more toward the camera, or her reflection should have been visible in the mirror.

#2 - You have a bench, dock and trees growing out of her head. The processing is a little to heavy handing for my taste. Her face looks to be a little to dark. The skin could be underexposed by a 1/2 stop, it's hard to tell due to the processing.

#3 - The conversation is muddy and there seems to be some noise.

#4 - Her face is underexposed, but it's a fun shot and I like it.

#5 - the shot looks stiff, it's best to get them pre-kiss, just before their lips touch. It makes for better facial expressions. His suit is blown out badly and they have some harsh shadows on their face.

#6 - Your skin tones are off, both their faces look not only red but underexposed. She also has some leaves growing out of her head. I like the pose and the eye contact.

How are you doing your b/w conversations? It look... (show quote)


I would agree and only add;

Get a book on lighting and learn how to light correctly. (either natural light and reflectors or speedlights.

Don't just wing it.

I like 5

Wild hair shot would have been good if exposure was lightened

you are working at it and that is a good thing plus you are asking for critiquing and that is the best thing. Taking advice can be tough but hey it is free and you asked.. All will make you better. Good job out of you.

I like what others have commented take them and use the advice.

Good luck!
