Did this fashion editorial earlier this week, borrowed a nice collection from a designer and went out to shoot it with a stylist and a model after some planning. I shot everything on my GF670 and Portra 400. This is only a few, the rest can be seen here: http://eriklovold.com/huldra

Thanks for looking.

Her expressions seem rather flat and certainly sends one looking toward the clothes and surrounds.

I like #1. The "flat" (as douter mentioned) expression works for me in this image because she's still looking at the camera and engaging me, albeit with a look of complete indifference and emptiness.

The others, though, it looks almost like you caught her right before, or right after, you intended to.

But yeah, #1. That is a great shot.

You title it as forest girl, but I get the fell that it's more like a grave yard. I'll also bandwagon on the others and say that they are a bit flat.

I think you could do with some posing improvements. Note the first few shots with her arms limp at her sides. Some say - if it bends, bend it, as in the last photo. Posing isn't my strong point, but I do see these as needing something to perk them up.

I'm not a fan of the washed out look nor her expressions. But since you were going for the washed out look, examine her eyes in #4 (not numbered, but the last one). Her eyes are also "washed out" and indistinct. I think a clearer face and eye look would go well with the soft washed out look.

I like how you composed #3, with her in the leading lines. Each of the lines lead us into your subject very well.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Especially Jim, posing is definitely one of the things I really struggle with. More often than not I find my efforts in that department to be rather tragic. I do have a preference for natural looking poses but there isn't enough variation here.

As for the "flat" look, that's kind of what I am after, I do have a preference for the moodier, ambiguous image, but of course it isn't always successful.

Some more:

Sorry, no my cup of tea, even thought I drink tea a lot.

In this serious, #3 wins. The framing is good. And the color lends itself to a lonely and solitary vibe. I like #3 a lot.

These are great!

Posing yeah, could use some variation... I like the film look, then I noticed it's actually shot on film
