p.1 #1 · My First Shot at Glamor be gentle

This is my first real shot at shooting glamor type shots , All shots were taken with a D200 and Sigma 50mm macro shot at F2.8 or F4 with natural light. Today was a cloudy day , seamed like perfect lighting. C&C welcome as I am trying to learn as much as possible.

My friend Jess

Don't like #1
#2 and #4 look great to me.
#3 would be a great shot except that the bit of bra showing throws it off for me.

for me the problem with the 1st one is composition
the pose, the cigarette and the wall just dont work together

#1 is my fav minus the cigarette...but the pose seems a bit awkward/uncomfortable for her.

I think they're very nice, but would not call them glamour... is that enough of a c&c?

Thanks for the comments , I'm really new to this type of photography. I've been surfing this particular forum for years and have been admiring the stunning photos that are posted daily. This portrait stuff is a lot harder then I thought it would be, while shooting I found myself confused on how exactly to pose her. I guess practice makes perfect... Today I will shoot another friend and see how it goes.

One more , heavily processed... I don't like all the background elements but she likes this shot.

What's the easiest way to remove the bra showing ? I primarily use LR2 and CS3 for editing.

#4 has too much unflattering detail I think. Particularly around the cheek/chin area.

Well, it's usually two hooks in the back, you have to pull the hooks at about a 45 degree angle. Practice makes perfect. Sorry, I had to, you set yourself up.

I like #2 the best. It looks really natural, and the color in her eyes really stands out

Good technical photography but as far as the model; too much makeup and lose the cigarette.
