I was going to comment on your fourth photo as well. But first, I like your second posted photo (above) much better. The problem I have with the first one is the basic pose, leaning body-forward into the fence. It's the same problem I have with photos of seniors standing on railroad tracks (apart from the oft-commented-on safety issue). My issue is that nobody ever does these things except as poses for photos. When would anyone ever lean body-forward into a fence? When would anyone choose to sit on a rail, or between the rails on a railroad track? I get the leading lines bit, but there are so many other ways to accomplish that. These are just my pet peeves.
Having said that, your work overall is very well done. So take these comments for whatever they may be worth. ...Show more →
"when would someone lean body forward into a fence" I see poses like that from my favorite photographers. At least 20% of high school senior shots, from some of the best photographers have people in poses they normally would never do. I hear what you are saying but I think some of those poses looks great anyways. It was a barn, I had them up next to it because it was super bright and harsh lighting. Normally high school girls aren't up against brick walls or out in fields either, and rarely ever in creeks or streams very often.
