I realize from your introductory comments that you have a background issue. In addition, rather harsh tonality while it may be intentional, adds a degree "pressure." In many shots the model's face glistens as though perspiring and to me, conveys a sense of discomfort.

I've found professional models bring some beige powder to shoots and give themselves a very light dusting from time to time. You'll see makeup pros doing that all the time on film shoot sets. Gotta get rid of the shine.


The window shot is the cleanest and best pose although the model almost seems secondary to the window frame.

Hi all,

Well, I had my very first photo shoot today.  All
things considered, I think it went fairly well.  I did
get some good shots, a couple of great shots, and many that
will wind up being salvageable.  Here are a few shots
to give a reasonable approximation:

Nothing went as planned, and I hadn't the foggiest notion
what I was doing.  But, somehow, I managed not to lose
my friend (Megan, the model) -- at least until she's seen
the images.  There are a few that have clunky
backgrounds that I intend to obscure at some point.
Beyond that, does anyone have any hits or tips that I might
use to make the images look better?

Comments, critiques, and advice are, of course, welcome.

Best,

Walt
