I haven't posted in forever so here are a few from a recent session that I did. Gotta take advantage of the short Alaskan summer!

    Not a fan of the pose in the first (besides, the BG is distracting), but #2 is good but #3 I think wins of the three.

    Wow what a great place to shoot…. I like the first and third shot. The second is a bit to flat. The first, well you can look at from different angels and read a symbolic meaning, the spread legs , de hands holding down / back something as it was kind of a protection…. If that was the intend, then yes it works. The question is "is that what a senior shot shoot look like ?". But besides that, not bad….
    The third one I do look best, nice angle and pose.
    But you do have such an interesting place, I am sure that there are so many options available for great shots. If I was you I would certainly go back…
    Good job and thanks for showing

    1 and 3 are my favorites. I like the red,blue, and white colors and she has a confident look in 1. For 3 it is a classic lean against the wall but you used an airplane instead. 2 is ok for me, I like the diagonal lines but there may be a bit too much contrast? Thats a personal preference thing though.

    Love the lighting on these. Love the model.

    In number one, I sure with that building wasn't behind the truck. Without the building, that image would be truly special.

    Got a bulldozer in your camera bag? :D

    Thanks for the feedback!

    For #1 I wasn't going for any hidden meaning, we were just having fun. The building in the background bothers me a bit too but I am not in the mood to replace it in photoshop...at least not now.

    With #2 I was trying out a little different processing...more of a grunge look. The angle is simply because she is standing on the wing of an old airplane.

    #3 is my favorite out of the whole session.

    1 - what an awesome old bus!

    2 - not often you get to crawl on to an airplane for a shoot

    3 - sassy in front of an old Anchorage, Alaska fire truck
