Part of a shoot for Mirembe, a locally based upcycle jewellery brand.
I'm looking for some consecutive criticism here. It was one of my first times using off-camera flash.

The shot is nicely framed but I don't think the outfit works with the location. There's too much black in the background. A different coloured dress with more leaves at the top would have worked better.
Thanks, Dave. I see that now. didn't factor that in at the time. Good tip
Hi, I'm new to portrait photography, but I think I would like more leaves and probably try to give just a litlle more exposure to the models skin in post?
Hi, Joel Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean more leaves in the background? I'll try lifting the skin exposure as suggested too.
Hi. yes, I think. As Dave sujested, the outfit is not ideal for the location and makes the phot a bit too black, I think I would clone some out of focus leaves into the black background and perhaps a bit on the foreground, but not too many otherwise you'd loose the mood. But I'm not an expert at all!
Hi William, I hope you and your loved ones are ok.
First thing I noticed on this portrait is that lack of details in the black of her sweater/dress. It looks like she doesn't know what to do with her right arm. A simple way to fix this is to crop the image tighter.
She doesn't seem happy to have her picture taken, you should learn more about making people more relaxed in front of your lens?
The whole image could use more light, maybe you can fix this in post?
Sent you an example of it cropped.
Regards,
Marc
Thanks Marc. Agreed the tighter crop does look nice. I'll try raise the exposure more in post.
Hi William, I'd like to see the leaves in the foreground gone and the lighting focused more on the subject which is the beautiful jewelry and not the models face.
