Here's one from the Riggins Jet Boat Race this past weekend in Riggins, Idaho. It's a tough race that draws competitors from far & wide.

Very elusive wild mustangs in the Owyhee mountains in south west Idaho.
So happy to have been able to share time with these beautiful and graceful animals.

Such graceful fliers and hunters these birds are.

Oh, thank you so much ... she (the senior student) will be so flattered to hear that, since she was her own makeup artist.
Makeup is an art that I have never attempted and probably never will. I'll leave that to the experts. I'll just concentrate on continually learning more about the photography side of everything.

As for the "clients expectations" ... it was so very positive it further encouraged me to get more involved in this avenue of the art.

I appreciate your feedback and your support in this venture.

Love it! Kudos to the makeup artist on this shoot :)
It certainly appears you bonded well with this talent...

"...I would like some honest feedback with suggestions on how to improve this..." If you wish to shoot glamour genre then bring a hair stylist onto your team... Also consider enlisting the talent of a wardrobe stylist even for accessorizing with jewelry...
Bottom line? For commercial glamour the photographer is merely one member of an entire team no less or more important than all other team members... a.k.a. Makeup, Hair, Wardrobe and yes the Model... Casting is a critical component and sadly oft left to chance... The sooner you get your head around this brutal reality the more rapid your climb within the commercial side of the industry...

My question to you... Did you exceed your client's expectations? In the end absolutely nothing else matters... Seriously!

All makeup was applied by the subject. (By the way this photo is one taken during my first senior shoot, so all this feedback is being absorbed as quickly as I can). I so appreciate the help everyone is offering.
I'm learning to look for things ahead of time that I would never even thought of up to this moment.

She was actually wearing a green dress during this section of the shoot ... maybe I should have not cropped so tight.
I think the "smudge" is the beginning of the shadow from the dress neckline. I'll go back and check. That should be an easy fix.
Appreciate you eye for detail.

You're correct ... she has that natural beauty that is not dependent on makeup.

I don't know anything about portrait photography.
-I like the angle.
-I like the windy hair, except for one strand near her right eye lash.
-A beautiful face.
-Lovely eyes which are the focal point.

From my point of view, here are some nit-picky critiques:


-No bottom lashes?
-Under her eyes, slight mascara smudges.
-Eye shadow extends way too far onto inner corners of her eyes.
-Black shadows under her nostrils.
-Lipstick beyond her lips.
-Right earring a distraction.
-The whole right side seems abnormal. What was she wearing? Something green would parallel her beautiful eyes. Was she nude? If so, why smudge it out?
-I'd delete the necklace. Doesn't add anything to photo.
-Seems like she's wearing too much make-up tho' going for a natural look. I'd love to see her without make-up at all. A gorgeous face, in my opinion, doesn't need enhancement.

I hope you have opportunity to work with her again. She's a real beauty.

Thank you for the feedback. I never even noticed what you mentioned about the hair strand and the shadow ... I will learn to recognize those distractions more quickly in the future. Thanks again for your help.

Crop is a little tight for me- but that’s just me. Skin looks good- close to the “over-done” mark but believable. I agree with the messy catchlights, too. What grabbed my attention was the hair strand along her collar bone- between it and the shadow behind her chin, draws alot of attention. Perhaps removing that hair strand and/or lessening the tonal differences shaping the clavicle. In fact, tidying up the hair- those patches of skin showing through might be helpful… something to consider… Overall, it’s a very nice image- exposure is perfect- and so’s the model!

Thanks again for your help.

Improving the pupils shouldn't be too hard (you may want to stop just short of making them pure black). The irises look trickier and it would be difficult to get them perfect, but if you can settle for mitigating the problem rather than getting rid of it completely, that should be a distinct possibility.

Thanks, Frank.
I will try experimenting with your suggestions.
I appreciate your help.

Well done...can't say what to change about it but the back ground lower left I find distracting....

Edit: after reflecting a bit more, and some experimentation I found reducing the red in the area closest to her face to a more neutral tone helped a great deal....it appears for a first attempt you are well on your way....

Thanks, R.G.
I see and totally agree with your observations, which brings me to a question.
The photo was captured outside in the shade.
The catchlights are the reflection of sunlit sky through the leaves, as it was captured.
Would you recommend trying to remove that in post and go for maybe a single catchlight?

The only thing that jumps out at me is the messy catchlights. And the irises look a bit over-sharpened. Other than that, a good capture.

This is my first attempt at "people photography". I would like some honest feedback with suggestions on how to improve this phase of my light capturing journey. Thanks.

A few photos from the 2017 North Fork Championship held on the Payette River in Idaho. These waters are some of the highest ranked rapids in the United States. It's an invitational competition and there are racers here from all over the world.

May you stand forever strong while engaging both visible and invisible enemies, whether internal or external.
I proudly salute you !!!
