Composition: I feel the crop on this is a bit tight. A bit more headroom, I think.
Lighting/Exposure: A tad on the bright side. Especially the hair. BUT, I much prefer this non-flash version as you have some interesting light and shadow going on.
Pose: I love her pose here. Her eyes are cut back towards the camera perfectly and her arms say, "GO AWAY!!"
Suggestions for Improvements: From someone that uses constant lighting as well and not flash, remember WYSIWYG. That light there in the back is very harsh on her hair. I would suggest moving both lights back a bit and the one in the rear a bit higher. Also, moving her another foot away from the BG so that it goes blurry. That lens is going to be its sharpest at around f4. When doing a studio portrait, with someone other than a little kid ;), try taking your ISO to 100, putting your camera on a tripod, and adjusting everything else around the metering. You also have remote capture software that came with your camera.
You are lucky to have such a willing model. Again, your daughter is very pretty and certainly knows her moods :) |
