Hello ! Just sharing a recent fashion shoot I did with a stylist friend of mine. Comments and critique are more than welcomed.
( sorry about facebook compression )
The photos are lovely. Only suggestion would be to try a couple of shots without the models looking at the camera. This can be especially effective with a group shot -- get one model to look at the camera and the other to look off camera.
Just a little tangent but Facebook compression isn't all you lose when you let FB host photos. FB strips all your IPTC and metadata (including your copyright info) from photos and I'm sure you're aware the FB TOS (terms of service) gives FB permission to use photos posted on FB for what ever they want. And their latest "download high resolution" link added to photos isn't usually what most photographers want set as a default. Far better to post links on FB and let someone else host your photos.
Very cool. with both comments. #1 could be my favorite otherwise. As it stands, 2 & 4 are my faves.

Great shots! Love the comps on these. Would prefer slightly less flare on the face in the 1st one but great set regardless!
dogwood, thank you for your comment and concern. I am aware of those facebook issues but I think the benefits slightly outweigh the problems. I've read some rumours about that download high resolution option but haven't seen it... where is it ?
Qarik, thanks for your critique. I know about the first one, I over exposed on camera on purpose as it was the only way to get some light bounced back to the models. I was working with just one light. However I pushed the raw a bit more in post to blow it even more, personal taste ( by the way, sweet gear list )
Yeah, I hear ya' on the FB being beneficial. And I just checked some of my photos and didn't see the download high res but I never post high res images on FB!

But I like this series!
