First Studio Shoot....

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I recently had the chance to take some shots in a studio.

Here is a small selection of the results. Any thoughts?

Lighting is good, but the pose and model look very tense in these. Her expression looked bit too forced and unnatural to me. I quite like the last few of them. Great job there mate :)

Welcome to the forums, but please next time post only a couple photos (Max 4 of them) and link the rest of them. Its hard to scroll through many and make a choice on which to talk about. And having slow connection (not everybody on ADSL2+) took a little while to load these.

very nice shots there and great model
lighting is spot on
my only niggle is you that need to watch for wrinkles in the clothing, the wrinkles in #2 & #3 are very distracting (its the little things that make or break a shot)

Expression in the first few is a little odd.

Looks much better with a bit of smile.

I'd pull back some of those shadows in those monochromatic ones. You're losing too much detail in some of them.

They are all very nice photos. I think the last one is the best because it has more contrast. Perhaps, you can add a bit more contrast to the other three and see if they become more appealing - just a thought.
