Model: Meghann O'Brien

Please give me pointers,critisism whatever! thanks Jamie!

A very nice portrait of Meghann. I like the blurred out background and the positioning of the body. The light on her face looks a little bright to me and where the light fades off across her cheek it becomes texture lighting and exaggerates the imperfections of her skin surface. Photoshop could be used to make slight corrections in contrast and skin retouching to make this into an even stronger image.

Portraits lit by a single side light will highlight any scars, or angularities in a face by creating shadows. This can be good for a strong face, but is not usually the best choice for a young soft face. This particular portrait has shadows beside the nose and within the eyes that do not add to the attractiveness of this woman.

Facial tones don't seem quite right to me. Seems a bit washed out.

Nice shot Jamie. The bright side lighting seems to work well. I would suggest a slightly higher position of the lens to give a slightly more flattring chin line of the model.
