Just some more photos from my photography class. Had to do some studio photography.

 

 

Took this one with one hand (wasn't using a tripod) so kind of amazed it was focused as well as it was.

 

 

Used this just to test lighting but I thought it was creepy enough to show :P

 

 

She was really shy about getting her photo taken. Still think the lighting is pretty good though (set it up myself) [Was a pure black background btw]

I like the second one rather a lot - makes for a good low-key shot. The other two are rather uninteresting in my opinion.

For me, I think the first shot is the best, the hand framing the subject works in my opinion. Don't really like the other two.

First one is cool but well.. it's a phone ;p. I like the second one, but I think the lighting could've been more effective if it were set up a bit closer maybe? I'm not really knowledgeable in studio lighting :P I like the shadow, it's shame you can't really see it much.

I think the third is the best, visually. Subject is well lit, but it seems your backdrop is a bit creased on the left, making it look like the lighting is cut off. Also, I've found that you have to be very careful with your model's shadows-- i.e most of the time you don't want them :lol:

I like that you've given her looking distance though (not sure if intentional). That's definitely a big tip I'd give to any photographer wanting advice; if your model/object is looking/pointing in a direction, leave space on that side. :D

I'm not either lol. Was kind of just [cabbage]ting the lighting. Thanks for the comments :P.
