Photography

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

The biggest thing I see that a lot of photographers forget is to remember your thirds. All it means is keep your subject or model in one third of a picture. Using the intersects of the lines as major points. There is symmetry, but the only one I can really see symmetry is the fourth one. So just keep your subject out of the center of the frame, most cameras have a display that can be toggled.

Image

Something else that might improve your shots is how you're posing the model. The last one, the pose is fine. But, I would have her facing towards the left instead of the right. That will light up her hair a lot more and really bring out some colour. Maybe even shade the lens so you don't get glare, and use a reflector on the bottom corner to brighten up the opposite side of her face. The second one there should be a spotlight, optional though. A simple light with a snoot can take away that blend you have between her head and the background.

They're really good portraits, I like how you use your negative space. Just little things that can make them that much better. Keep it up.

That's some really great advice, but the rule of thirds isn't always applied if you have leading lines but now you mention it and i really look and think how it would have looked using that i can see how they could have been more eye catching.. And would have got rid of a lot of dead space in the first B&W image..

As for the other things i never thought about it was my first time doing something like this but i completely understand what you mean and will keep that in mind for next time!

Thanks for the Crit the last part especially i never thought of that but will defiantly keep that in mind for next time. Also i am shooting with a Canon 1100D and the kit lens and a 50 1.8 i have no other equipment as of now.

Really appreciate the help though thanks mate!
