This bit tbh

Cheers.

Any more comments on the actual photos? I know the mistakes I made which caused some OOF hair, and also some of the backgrounds are a bit distracting. Anything else?

Have you boned her yet?

/sorry

We are going to do another shoot in the next couple of weeks. I have a few ideas of what and where to go but nothing really planned yet.

So there is more to come. Should be much better as well as we are much more comfortable with each other so hopefully will both be more relaxed and confident with it all

You know, I've always said photographers get the women's attention!

Excellent shots, and excellent job on the catch.

A girl I used to get on the school bus with 9+ years ago asked me via Facebook recently to take some photos of her. Seeing as she is incredibly hot and a lovely person (yes I am now in love with her as we had an AWESOME evening together) I thought it was a perfect opportunity to get my first portrait shoot out of the way.

I made a few mistakes during the shoot which has resulted in a few areas out of focus, but it was all very much a learning experience for both of us.

Feedback very much appreciated, as harsh as you like

Hair on the left was out of focus so I tried a crop:

I expect people are probably a bit bored of them now

As I said above, I will have some new ones soon

Some ideas I have are lovely sunny flowery field with her in a summery dress running around going "Oh God isn't life wonderful" - Typical catalogue style shot!

Spooky glamour style shots in a derelict mental asylum

Or more beach shots, but less of the head and shoulders and more full body shots.

as with everybody else 7 is by far the best. I also really like number 3

Can I ask what sort of processing you used on #7? I've got some shots of my wife that'd look brilliant like that.

I would guess black and white filter with roughly hue - 37 and saturation 10% in PS. I'm sure SS will let you know though
