Alanah Model Bridal Shoot

jonh68

For this shoot I was given a sample dress and wanted to incorporate the backgrounds while giving an elegant look for my friend who agreed to model. We had to dodge thunderstorms, and she was a real trooper wanting to wait out the storms to see if we got a good sunset. My favorite picture is in another thread, this is the series. I also played around with editing, going for a more desaturated look in some of them.

A very nice series, and I assume that you will not mind if a make a few observations for what they are worth.

P.1: A good attempt, but I am missing some sharpness on the eyes and the whit dress is a bit blown out. So this one is not my favorite

P.2:Much better then 1, but also a bit of detail loss in the dress.

P.3: Great pose, colors and framing. Although the background is a bit dominating

P.4: NIce and the tilted angle works

p.5: Great shot and one of the best in the series, due to the composition and light. Great bokeh/DoF

p.6- 7 Lovely pictures

p.8-9 Very nice light and compositions

p.10 Good idea but the light is to harsh on the face, a smile and dramatic light does not work to well

Conclusion: well done and 5 is my favorite

Thanks for the feedback.

1 was cropped so i lost some sharpness. Composition wise the crop works better but I guess it loses detail. Looking back over the RAW files I was able to recover some of the detail in the dress on 1 and 2 so thanks for the heads up.

great series. #4 seems to have a bit of a weird color.

also, what is that stuff in the air in #1?

4 is desaturated, and those are laughing gulls in the background.
