Did my first proper portrait shoot today, it was 3 hours away and had no location or theme planned. My shots feel very mediocre and I have no idea how to go about processing them.

HPL posted:They aren't a house on fire, but they're solid. She isnt a model or anything, and i didnt give many directions for expressions. Heres a fun one though:  You're right nonanone, I was looking for decent landscape compositions that would work with a model within them, guess you need a completely different thought process for portraits. Thanks for the crit, I think they definitely need more exciting postures/expressions, this one above is probably my favourite from the set even though its really simple, just because it has fun expression.

psylent posted:Agreed, that last shot is fantastic. Was it all natural lighting? Nope, 2 lights. 1 Brolly outside of the tram lighting her face and 1 on the other side of the tram with no modifier acting as a slight rim, can see it on the poles and her hair.

Cross_ posted:I have finally gotten some gear together to start looking into portrait photography. My first attempt at pestering friends & family to take their pictures is shown below. After weeding through the shots and post-processing for an hour I am having a hard time evaluating the result objectively. The first thing that sticks out for me is that the girls hair is just drowned in the background. 2 easy fixes: brighter background or more light on her hair. I think the best fix in this cicrumstance is just to throw up a reflector on the right itll brighten up those dark shadows and throw some light at her hair whilst staying a nice and simple family portrait. Solid on-the-spot thinking torgeaux, they came out really well.
