Amber, Senior 2006

[brad]

I shot Amber to fill in for a friend who had car trouble... we did it over two days, one at the Canals in Las Colinas and the other at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. Here are a few of my favorites



The rest can be found here.

Brad Great job!! Please Don't feel like I'm being picky here's a few things that I sugguest.

pic 1. The toes on the left side a choped off. The brightness in her skirt draws the eye away from her face. Maybe a doge and buring.

pic 2. Correct the cyan tint on her teeth. Pretty smile though. I suggest doging the eyes a little to draw you attention up from her teeth. The colour matching between her top and the background elements are a nice touch.

pic 3. Again the lightness of her pants draws your attention away from her face and eyes. Depending on the location maybe try a different camera angle. A little lower and a tilted up angle to force the water in the background to flatten out and not appear to just be a vertical wall of water. Right now it appears to have very little depth.

pic 4. Great job on this one. Nice backlight on the hair. The fountain in the background intersecting with her left arm pulls your eyes away from her face, maybe placing it more to the left and making it a second point of interest.

pic 5. love this one. See if it look better to you with the bottom of the pic cropped a little higher or lower so your not croping on the elbow.

Really its a great set I hope she liked them.

No, feel free to be picky..

#1 .. I know, it bugged me, too.. but it was the best pose and smile of all the shots in this spot, with only the toes as an issue.

#2 .. Hmm.. hadn't noticed the cast on her teeth.. or even that somehow I made her teeth brighter than the eyes.. that's what I get for doing eyes before teeth, I guess. LOL

#4 .. yea, couldn't figure out where to place the fountain to make this work well... not sure there is a good answer.. having water spouting out the top of her head didn't work, either. LOL

#5 .. I figured that's where I would crop it (higher) for other than 4x6... again, was the nicest smile at this location

She was a delight to shoot.. wonderful eyes and a beaming smile. I actually had to tell her to try not to smile for a couple of them, but she was *always* smiling.. even when not posing.
