Wanna buy a T-shirt???

For starters, this is SOOC, so it needs a LOT of work!
I'm shooting some T-shirts for a catalogue. On the morning of the shoot, a box arrived, but nowhere hiding in the box were the women's T's!!! LoL
So we shot them anyway since she was already on her way. It was a fun shoot, as we shot some unrelated stuff as well. She is my favorite model so it's always fun anyway.
Used one speedlight mounted on a stand so the shadow needs to be softened a bit.
Even though the shirt's a little bit big, I think she'll be able to sell a few shirts and hats anyway!!!
What do you think?!?!

Do you also have close-ups of whatever is printed on them? Can't really tell much from these...

The client may appreciate tidying up the folds and wrinkles....

funinous, you might be right.
I'll see what they say. I've got at least two more shoots for this and they'll pick what they want. Like I said, this model was suppoesed to be modeling womens T's but it just didn't work out that way!
I hope they use her because she's my FAV!!! She'll sell them shirts and that's what it's all about!
Thanks for the feedback.

The shadows are a little harsh. The shadows can softened by getting her to stand away from the wall more. Maybe a larger light modifier on a strobe. Her left eye is too much in the shadows and her nose crosses over her left cheek. Maybe get her to face the camera a little more. I know she has a right arm because you can see just a little of her arm next to her hair. I would get her to position her arm so that it is more visible. I would try to smooth out the folds in the shirt. Sorry, I'm not trying to be harsh. I know that you do excellent photography.

CO, no harshness is harsh, when given in a good way!!!
Yes, I have all those shots, this was just one of my favorites.
Though they are all up against the retaining wall, so the shadow is still harsh. I was actually using this location for a different shoot with her, but we did the T's anyway since we were both there and I wanted her in that catalogue if they'll use one!!
When I shoot the women's T's they will fit properly so they won't be very wrinkled and this one will probably be on a man.
But CO, the problems on this one are duly noted.
Thanks so much for taking the time to critique!!
