Balance

Comments, ideas and honest critique are most welcome. Model: Jenny

 

Thanks, Patrick

I like this image, but I wonder if you can reduce the impact of the edge of the floor/wall...?..perhaps move your model into the middle of the room, and use a much larger aperture...?

 

This wouls allow a much sharper focus too.

 

It's be interesting to have some alternate views from around her too, front on/rear on, from above....

 

Just my thoughts - you did ask!

 

best regards,

 

Shaun

Hi Shaun and thanks for your input/comment. I agree that the wall/edge is disturbing. I only took my 200mm with me and the room wasnt really large enough to place her in the middle. I didnt use any flash either so f2.0 was the only choice that time. I will for sure use other lenses and get better placements the next time! Im glad you were honest! =)

 

Thanks,

Jenny is really adept and deserves a session where you can have the background and lighting under your control. I have been seeking a model to illustrate yoga myself and haven't met anyone as sleek and powerful as this lady. Send her to Hawaii. I bet she could help me to push my aged bones more. This asana takes strength in mind and body. And it is just a beautiful example of the art of yoga. You can tell I am an enthusiast. Photographically, yoga studios are not great for doing anything. Persuade her to help you in a better environment. I still like the shot despite a humdrum background and your limitations on light control, Lifelong learning is what its all about. I wish you well and keep at it pat...gs

Thank you Gerry for your comment! Jenny will be happy reading this. I agree that she deserves a better shootout then this one and we have talked about doing one soon. Thanks once more, Patrick
