Outside Portrait

[Chantelle]

Yet another of my portraits, this one was taken with some off-camera flash, what do you think?

This one without flash

Good job! Subjects with darker skin tones can be tough. I prefer the exposure in #2 over #1 as her face seems just a bit bright.

I find the colour off on the second shot, but it is the more pleasing pose.

I agree with Greg. The second pose is quite pleasing but her skin appears pasty and the other colours are a little subdued. Maybe there is a flash/shade/colour balance issue. The models skin tone are a little better in the 1st picture which may be more sun lit.

I like shot 1. Looks nice and bright.
Shot 2 has a blue/green cast and looks underexposed to me.

[Chantelle]

Yea I noticed the pasty look too, didn't have much time to play with it this morning, I'll have another play with shot 2 and see if I can fix it up :) Thanks for your comments!

I like the first one the best. The hair on her should is a little distracting. She has weight of her body on her right arm which makes the top of her arm look heavy.. Just my opinion :)

[Jason]

I think they're both good, I also think there seems to be a slight greenish color to the skin though.

I like the pose in shot 2 better. That shot does have a cast and needs a slight contrast boost imo; both of which are easily done in PP.
Hope that helps - Marko
