Hello Everyone, I've been watching Fstoppers on YT for a while now, but still very new to this community. I'm looking for some CC and/or advice about shots I've taken over the last year. I'd also like to comment some of my own thoughts on others' photos. Please have a look at my photo of Lisa, and tell me what you think! It was a pretty windy day, so I had to use a bare flash, even though I did actually have a diffuser with me. This was my first (and so far, only) attempt at doing a bikini shoot on the beach.
Right off, the pose is awkward, and because of the hard light, her right hand looks exceptionally odd. Could you have done this without flash?
Thank you for commenting! I see what you mean about the pose and hand. I could have shot without the flash now that I think about it. Maybe not in this exact spot, but yes.
The pose doesn't bother me as much, but I'm really distracted by the lightness of her face which doesn't match the rest of her body. This is due to the flash without a light modifier I suspect. Really pretty model though, photograph her again soon.
