Photography

Constance is eager to know your prefered portrait shot of her... You know the rule now: your vote for 1, 2, or 3 is awaited with the reasons for your choice ...  

The positioning of the sweater and pose make it for me. I also like the bit of fireplace in the background...

The natural smile, the pose and just the appealing overall look.

...and it makes a big difference

She seems so natural, as if she would be on her own without me shooting

Number two for the win! I only have one picture of my lovely wife, I want to share with you all from today, she can do it… Jim ...  

If I had to choose my favourite, it would be the first one - the eyes!

I was surprised that nobody had chosen #1 yet... Definitely her eyes look stunning

Constance looks like she is enjoying herself in that photo along with the great sweater pose. Also like #1 with the naturally relaxed pose.

It was because of the laid back look or her eyes they said.

No message body

I normally am not a big fan of seeing too much flesh in such photos but on nr 1 her smile is most natural of all Nr 3 could have been nr 1 easily and by miles were it not for that one loose hair that’s right in front of her face which detracts all attenti... 

Not only I don't take them bad but on the contrary I am always interested to know about feeling and reaction of the viewers, whether positive or negative. Sorry for the loose hair on #3, my bad Your vote for #1 duly noted with thanks

I think the strand of hair spotted by our eagle eyed Jurry can be edited away easily😁.

And without that hair I place nr 3 at first place as well

Just for you and S.F. ...  

smile with a soul nice lighting

As is, I think that Constance might prefer the second. I also like the colours and background... good choice of costume. I lean toward the first photo because of the eyes with the caveat regarding post processing - crow's feet. I can go both ways with pos... 

The attractiveness of her face and hair combined with a slightly vulnerable as well as pensive expression, makes the third picture number 1 for me. The second picture shows some leg. Though these are portrait shots, to me it adds some flavour to the overa... 

It has a quality the other ones do not have. It looks as though something was just said between the subject and the photographer causing the subject to smile in an unguarded moment.

Just makes me smile looking at this pic . Happy feelings but also a bit sensual

And don't worry, it makes me smile too

no 1 2nd

The reason I ask is because the pupils are very dilated and the eyes are generally 'prettier" when less pupils are showing and more iris. The dilated pupils indicate the room was dark and when using modeling lights on your strobes you can up the light to ... 

You are totally right in your comment, and indeed it is natural light. This explains that Many thanks for your very spot on comment

The pose and the way she is covered with just that sweater.

Like the off the shoulder sweater and smile.

i'm wondering if it is the photographer or the model which makes it better ;-) Best, mahesh.,

To answer your question, it is not the photographer OR the model. It is an achemy between both.

my 10 year old son likes number 2. his exact words, "she looks like she's moving and yet she's being captured very clearly."

There’s a pleasant calmness about her.

A small hopefully constructive note: perhaps dial the foundation make up back a bit... to give a more natural appearance to the model's skin. Lovely shots indeed!

Score : #2 : 16 #3 : 9 #1 : 6 #2 is winning with a good lead as I would have expected For the 2nd place on the podium I would have thought #1 would make it but #3 made its way after the small editing (hair in the face) #1 is making an honourable score and...
