stephen hazelton Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 The pose looks a little awkward on the second shot- not sure how I would change it, though. Specifically, the hand on the thigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_de_fehr Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I prefer the first one, and would crop it vertically. I like the eye contact and expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b. edward sandifer Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi Christalana, The first shot is my favorite. I wouldn't crop it vertically, however, as it would end up very tight and the character of the arms etc would be cropped out. Horizontal cropping is perfectly acceptable. Most senior shots are vertical, but in my senior photography business, the kids quite often like horizontal shots to give to their friends. Yearbook shots are always vertical in my area.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_branden Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I like both the shots. Much better than the cookie cutter look we have in my hometown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minh_thai Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I like the first shot a lot. I assume these are color->b&w pictures. If so I would redo the channel mixing job to give the face more definition. It is a bit too faded as it is I think. Regards, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staticlag Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Personally I like the second one, it kind of shows the subject in deep thought. Though this kind of picture really wouldn't be good for a senior portrait, it will make a great addition to your portfolio. Next time try to get all the body parts in, its no biggie, but a lot of people complain when you cut something off. I'm not one of them though. For the B&W, it looks very sharp and nice in general, but if you used B&W film I suggest using a dark yellow filter next time, as she looks extremely pale and with little accentuation to her lips and hair. Or maybe a yellow-orange filter might do the trick. Very nice shots though. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_ewart Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 With regards to the second one, I really dislike that the foot is cut off by the frame. My rule of thumb (at least for standing portraits) is that if I am including the knee, include all of the foot. I have not done enough sitting portraits to really have a policy on that yet, but I certainly think that the whole foot should have made it in the frame.
