[QUOTE="ekib, post: 145442, member: 14069"] Thanks everyone for all the input. Crycocyon, your comment about working against the light makes perfect sense now that I think about it. I feel like quite often I have to spend a lot of time in Lightroom tweaking the levels to get something that looks decent but in the end it still doesn't look "right". And now when I look all the photos from that perspective, a lot of them are back-lit. Is that what you mean by facing the model the opposite direction, into the light? Also, I guess I should have clarified a bit more what the purpose of these shots is. It's all for a personal fashion blog so the priorities are fashion details, clothes and how they fit the person. In hopes of conveying the clothes and the fit in a most natural way possible, I often try to take the shots more like candids than posed portraits.
