I shot a model. Especially a male model. I had no clue how to position him. :dunno

3 basic shots since this will be for his for portfolio.

    I like the last shot, but I don't like the fact that it was shot with sunglasses on.

    Me too
    Yeah, I think the last one is the most arresting, but I think it would have been better if not BOTH the head and body were straight-on to the camera. No tension. And lose the sunglasses. If the shots are for his portfolio, whoever's looking at them won't give a rip about the glasses. They'll want to see his face.

    Keep in mind though that I shoot architecture. WTF do I know.ne_nau.gif

    On the third one, I'd also clean up the jean wrinkles. Maybe shoot this one again before he has a chance to sit down?

    The wide angle of two (#2) is very nice. The sharpness of the tennies are nice with the shirt. Not to mention the contrast of the tennie string pattern with the vertical stripes in the shirt.. The 'head' and the 'square' color block on the concrete are a cool comparison. Tha swatch on the concrete is cool. Really, this is a great background for a shot. score. The model looking 'up' the stairs, composes nicely. The hands and arms of the model follow the shot, and match the feel of the stairs quite nicely. A very pleasing shot, emotionally. Thanks for sharing!

    I have the same shot without the sunglasses. I just like it better with them.
    The wrinkles come like that on the jeans.

    Thank you for all the comments.

    I am far from being happy about the shots, my speciality is motorsport and I find it hard to guide model without making it looked to posed.
