Alex - only critique I can make on #1 and #2 is - feet. Either totally in the pic or out. In #2 (I’m having a bra week) the model on the left is showing a rather large amount of a terrible bra - let them know or take another angle

#3 would be my pick.

To nitpick, the flash in the first seems abit too strong, while in #2, I think the framing is abit too tight and the pose un-model-like.

first one is good in terms of idea. but she just looks like she's forcing her smile. personally I think from a shot from eye level and dialing the flash down a stop or two would have worked even better.

i don't mind the second one except the crop is a tad tight.

the third one is a nice behind the scenes look

[Alex]

Thanks for your feedback guys.

My pick is #3. Captures an expected moment backstage. Well done.
I'm with Chris on the feet and also the bra in #2. And agree with the Abel on the flash.
Cheers, Mick

Very nice, I like #3 for the behind the stage scene...


Would you mind sharing the lighting techniques used?

[Alex]

Thanks for the comments, Mick and Yi-P.

Yi-P. The lighting was ambient + remote sb800 at 10 o'clock position with respect to the subject. Flash triggered by in-built D70 flash. The technique was originated by Wendell, except I use remote due to absence of SC-29/28 cord.

Hope this helps.

I'm with Chris on the feet, too.

This is one of those annoying niggles I have with a lot of fashion images where the feet usually aren't in the frame for some reason or another.

Does this mean, you held the SB800 with your left hand at 10 o'clock aiming at the models?

Where the flash pointed somewhere else for a bounce? Doesnt look much like a direct flash there.

Yi-P,

That's right, held the flash with my left hand aiming directly at the models. Didn't bounce, just diffused with a standard diffuser.

Thanks
