Laurence,
Photos are over exposed a bit probably about 2/3 stops for the subject and about 1.5 stops for the background.
For the first photo:
Pros:
- Nice catchlight in her eyes.
- Nice use of the sun as a kicker light to give her rim lighting.
Constructive Criticism:
- I would suggest bringing the reflector used to light her up to her side a bit. This would create a soft shadow on the near cheek and make her face look slightly less puffy. If you notice on the bottom of her jaw (nearest to camera) it sticks out. A shadow in that area would decrease it's visibility.
- My other suggestion would be to create a slight break in her elbow to give some nice compositional lines through the photograph.
Second Photo:
Pros:
- I like her expression.
- The light is soft and has a good direction to it
Constructive Criticism:
- The base cement blocks are distracting. I would suggest cloning them out or cropping tighter.
- Typically I try not to point soles of shoes to the front of the camera it makes feet look fat and large
- Get the model to push her shoulder blades together. This will create a nicer posture instead of the slouch.
Hope this helps!
