Shooting in the Pearl District, PDX

Ike615 · May 29, 2007

These are photos I took of my good friend Emiliee yesterday in the Pearl District of Portland. There's a lot of cool settings there to shoot. Anyways, this is just a sampling of the photos I took. If you want to see the rest here's the link:

That is what I think: very attractive model, interesting dress. I think that if she'll NOT BE LOOKING into the camera - you'll get some realy interesting characters.
(dreaming, waiting, laughing, yawning, boring....)
Otherwise we have snap-shots - you see a lot of them around. We call this in Russia 'raisin' /salt, zest/
I'd try different points of shooting - from the top, from the ground, and so on, so on....

Good work. I especially like the cheeky ones!

KEEP Shooting
You have some nice portraits and your friend seems very willing to be int to it all. I like the ones of her looking off most but I'd try and watch the background. Try moving her into a background so that the clocks are providing a backdrop rather than competing with her for attention. My favorite is with the silver background.
Have fun with your shoots. Sherrlyn

Thanks Sherrlyn for the critique. I agree with your critique on the clock photo. I'll be aware of that the next time I shoot. Thanks again!
