Yeah, I've seen that sort of thing done on the boob tube. I took
some closeup shots focused directly on her eyes, but the makeup sheen
just completely overwhelmed everything in them. I was really
disappointed, too, as the girl has some of the most beautiful eyes in
the whole wide world. Unfortunately, even if I'd known ahead of time
how the shots would have looked, I'm not sure how I would have
approached Megan on taking care of it. Not being a professional model,
and basically just a pretty country girl, I wouldn't have felt right
saying, "You really need to do something about that shine, sister."
But, if I ever get to the point where I'm using a professional model, I
won't hesitate to do that. They get paid the big bucks to know better.

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
