My 6 year old is to take photos of her to school to share with her classmates next week. These are to help her tell a little about herself. I thought we should have fun with them. So here they are...

She likes to watch movies (inspired by jeffreaux2's recent photo)

    Cute kid :D

    The position of her hand bothers in the first, she looks like she might be feeling sick.

    Second is nice, maybe a little light on her face from the side would help, as it's a bit flat there.

    The third is quite cute, but I don't like the textures of the room. Add a vignette or re-shoot to isolate with focus?

    And that last one is spot on, even if she's looking at her imaginary parrot friend, at look at the camera so that she'd be telling me to keep quiet would make this a total winner! Excellent! bowdown.gif

    She'll have the best darn photos in the class! But I'd reshoot the first one what with the hand and the flash reflection over her head in the background.

    The last one rocks!thumb.gif


    The first needs some help. Why is there a flash in the BG? It looks like a movie projector yet you framed her to appear as though she is watching television. I bet getting rid of the bg light.....talk her into a frightened look....and letting her oversized shadow play on the wall behind her.....especially if it were a cloned in bogey man shadow would look cool.

    In other words...a scarey movie....
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Thanks Pyry for the individual comments. You are right on every account. Her endurance wasn't as quick as my learning curve. She gave me about three shots at each location before she said she was done. I should have dialed in the lighting first then had her come in.

    Thanks for the feedback. Agreed on the reshoot. Especially after reading Jeffreaux2's comment. I'll have to try that one.

    Thanks Scott! Looks unanimous on the reshoot. I'll have to see if she is up to it.

    Love your idea!! Have to break out the ice cream for bribing. My problem was impatience from the model. Boy, you would think that paid models (free room and board) would be more patient, but...
