Was back in the studio last night after a small break from it. I went into the studio planning to experiment with the lights more, so heres a few of the pics i achieved while there.
I think the second one is cropped too tightly. She seems squashed into the frame. I’m not too sure if the lighting works either as her hand is too much in shadow compared to the rest of her. Never been in a studio situation myself though so take this with a pinch of salt!
I think the DOF in the last one is too small as his blurred stubble is offputting. Nice idea though although again, for my taste, it seems a lightly too tightly cropped.
Thanks for the feedback Dee. Yes I know what you mean about the expression in the first pic, I thought it looked fine at the start but the more I look at it the less happy I am with it.
