    less lighting.
    everythign is so even, doenst create depth or any emotion. looks like high school yearbook pictures.

    take a single light to the right or left with a reflector on the other side or something.
    for some reason her smile doesnt look natural


    other than that, they are sharp, and well exposed. just the lighting looks funny

    Nothin to flame about. First one is underexposed a bit. Second one is cute but lit pretty good, third one is a horrible crop, 4th is cute.

    Don't get discouraged with the grey backdrop. Learn how to use it before you toss it aside. Grey is one of the ones I use the most.

    Looks like Miley Cyrus.

    I think they are ALL underexposed just a smidge. The last one is close, but the first just has no contrast at all.

    Not bad for first attempts though!

    No

    more lighting...///well exposed? She is way underexposed!
    If these were to be printed to photos would come out looking muddy

    Chad, if you can, go out and find a reflector and have one of your heads aiming the light directly at your seemless..this way, even if your using a a grey wall, u can still get a white background. Also, if u can get ahold of a light meter,,that way u can find out whats your aperture on your subject and your background and found out the difference in the number of stop

    Also, here is your chance to shoot tethered..like i said before, your camera will play tricks on your eye..THere is a website called captureone.com
    go on there and download there free trial software for shooting tethered..that way u can get a feel and see more accurate results when shooting directly into the computer..

    other than that, i think your off to a great start dude.Haven't seen you post any shots in awhile..

    Now time for my asshole comment! Now if u shot this in raw, u could see the benefits of using it and fixing the exposure in photoshop..Just giving ya a hardtime man...
    look forward what you create in the future

    If you adjust the levels you can bring it back up some. Raw files will work better tho.
