[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 145359, member: 13076"] Looks like you are off to a good start. I would include the model's head in each shot, rather than legs or torso only. And don't cut off the legs above the knees. Try to place the model not so much based on location but on lighting. Since you don't have flash, you should be finding locations with good directional light so that you can control how the model looks into the light. Also, if you are not already, I would be shooting maybe one stop down from maximum apertureso you get better isolation of the model from the background. The poses, angles, composition are otherwise pretty good, but it almost seems like you are having to work against the light rather than with it. You definitely need to invest in a flash with flexibility in terms of bounce capability. It makes a huge difference even outdoors if you can control the light somewhat on the subject and therefore in relationship to the background. (6/12) [/QUOTE]
