I'm no expert, but it sure looks good to me! I love the catch lights in her eyes and the gradation of light across her face. I would prefer a solid color dress as the pattern is a bit distracting but that's just a minor issue. The portrait might be improved with a hair light to separate her from the background.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Hank! It's been a while since I took this photo so can't remember if I did or didn't use a hair light. I'm thinking I may have and darkened the edges (maybe too much?) during post. Cheers!
Welcome to the group!
This is a strong, technically adroit portrait that you should be proud of.
You will hear lots of opinions about esthetics that may reflect different styles or personal preferences but keep working toward YOUR vision and style.
Good work Sung Lee.
Thanks for the kind words Julian. I'm finding out it doesn't hurt to have a beautiful model. Always room for learning and I'm enjoying the journey. Cheers!
Overall, I like what you did here! I think I might agree with having a hair light to separate her from the background, but that's a small thing. The photo is nice either way.
Thanks for your input Nick!
I really like this photo as the element of movement is brought out by the light from the front as well as the absence of catch or rimlights at the back. Very well done!
Very well done!
