Jessica's outdoor portraits...

zoomer

I found this old abondoned church with lots of nooks and crannys.
Jessica is a friend of my nephews and I recruited her to be my model.
d700 24-70 most are natural light, a few shot with sb800 and 36" softbox.
(I fixed number 5 thanks)

very good shots! lovely model..great lighting and good posing imo.

in shot #4..uhh..how shall I say..her *rhymes with tubes* stick out like a sore thumb due to the lighting. Not that I mind but not sure if that is what you are going for.

Also the eyes in #5 are distracting. They look rather dull and glossed over.

I agree with the eyes in #5, looks kinda creepy. The rest are well done and a very lovely subject.

I third the eye. It looks like there's a kind of transparent mask on the eye camera left O_o

Anyway, I love #1, 2, 6, and 9. But my favorite would have to be #6 ^_^

The arms in #4 seem unnatural, especially the left arm looks like it's cut off. #1 is my pick.

Thanks Qarik,
I think she is OK with it..better than the alternative I imagine.
I fixed spooky eyeball, the sun was hitting her eye at a weird angle.

Thanks GP. Some kind of weird sun reflection. Fixed it.

Thanks Cuong,
I think of some nut with a camera asked you to lay down on a bunch of hard steps you would think that arm position was pretty natural...haha

Number 6 makes me very jealous of your wonderful find in this old church. GREAT location , great lighting, pretty model. I am inspired to find somewhere half this cool to shoot.

My Favorite is #4...the BW. The light is awesome. This one would work up really nice in color. Like the stuff you did in some of the wedding images you posted. Just my two cents. Thanks for sharing...nice set.

Great work Zoomer. I like your angles and perspectives. Great model and posing. That one of her sitting on the steps is lovely.
