[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 36991, member: 1061"] The third is probably my favorite because there is an expression of love. That said...I realize that you're new at this, but this is one of those instances where the viewer is left confused and unimpressed. These aren't candid photos because they are aware of your presence with the camera. These aren't choreographed shots either, they're just something in between and kind of "blah". 1) The background is horrific. Nothing says young love like...hay bales and a power substation? 2) We can't see his face in any of the shots. That's borderline okay, because you never want to omit [I]her[/I] face. 3) Some are people naturals in front of the camera, but most are not, especially men. You can tell that he has no idea what to do with his hands here, and he seems stiff and unnatural. She seems like she would be fun to work with, and more relaxed. You [I]have[/I] to give direction. When you appear confident and are able to tell people what looks good, they will take cues from you and it will reflect in your photos. [/QUOTE]
