p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · First time shooting with models

I attended an expo this weekend and one of the sessions, we got to work with some models, outdoors using available light (no reflectors).

This was my first time shooting a model and it was crazy at times with 10 or more photos shooting at the same time at times. I had a great time and learned a lot.

The bar above her head in the first one is distracting. If it was OOF perhaps it would be ok, but takes your eyes from a lovely lady too much....IMO.

Pretty model. You probably didn't have any choice on where she was sitting. Especially with 10 other photographers shooting her at the same time.

Thanks. You are right about that. There were about 30 of us with three models, just getting close to the angle was challenging at times.

Lovely shots for first time shooting model!
Picture 01: The bar is distraction (perhaps you did not have a choice to avoid it!). There is still too much space above her head, consider to crop it a bit.

Picture 02: I would kneel down to shoot her to avoid having the horizontal line cut her head. Also you might consider to re-crop the original picture so that she is closer to the left of the picture and there is little more space to the right of the image.

Overall, lovely portraits of the model. Keep shooting!

Second one is a bit awkward, from an odd angle

yes, a different location or shooting at a different angle would have been better

Did you happen to get a picture of her smiling. She's beautiful.

I agree with everyone above.
I really like the first picture
I think the second is just a weird angle.

You are doing great just keep on practicing it makes perfect.
