    I can tell you the red ones are the worst.. as to the rest I’m not sure. At the moment I’m yet to actually produce anything that I’m overly proud of. The ones I like the most out of this would be the glitter ones, but that’s mainly because it was fun. I loved them when I first looked at them but now, not so much.

    You have some amazing pictures there! I love Zach, that is adorable. I’ve been wondering how you get photos like that. Is it a two shot thing?

    & honestly he was a little old for that type of shoot. I really should’ve just told her to wait a little longer & get some then.

    Thank you for sharing yours!

    I know the red shots are trash. There was honestly not one good thing I could say about them. & your breakdown of them was way more positive than I gave myself!

    When you shoot do you tend to use auto or manual focus? I tend to have a lot of trouble when I use auto but because kids move so fast I thought I’d be better off. also. I can be rather shy so telling someone what to do can be a little difficult for me. How do you get parents to either stand where you want or leave?

    & in regards to the Red, how would you tell someone that the idea they have for their photos may not turn out exactly how they think it will? I hinted at maybe using a white background & she could throw a bit of colour in with the clothing but I don’t think she liked that I wanted to change her idea.

    Sorry for all the questions! but one more.. As you can see b&w is not a strength.. I looked up a few tutorials but couldn’t really find anything that I liked.. if you know of any that you could pass on that’d be great.

    Thanks again for the feedback!

    I know they’re horrid. But my lecturer wanted me to put them up as the feedback is part of an assignment. I honestly never wanted to pick up my camera again after those..
    So, sorry. I just want to clarify.. is my work coming off as fauxtog quality? Thanks for taking the time to have a look too!

    I totally forgot that fairy pic was on there.. those bottom three are about 12months old. hopefully there’s a little difference between them and the new ones!

    For this assessment I got the okay to use work made by others & I had their permission on the condition I credit them.

    The situation was very much like that. I was way out of my depth. And I have noticed that about deviantart. Unfortunately it was necessary evil. 

    Kimera, not harsh at all. It really helps to have these things pointed out to me as I didn’t pick up on it at all (obviously (: ). I will definitely give it a try. I’ll have to find out how to even attempt it first though!  

    & ST. do you know any tutorials or anything that would help me out with that? I have no idea how to even approach something like that.

    Thanks again everyone. 😀

    I honestly didn’t even think of that. But other than the confusion of the image, have I cut her & the wings out neatly? Also I recoloured the mushrooms.. is it overly obvious? sorry I’m not wording this very well I know. But I really need feedback on the digital side of things.

    With the black and white could you give me some tips on how to improve the effect?I’ve just tried it again. http://www.flickr.com/photos/80095806@N06/8393019435/in/photostream better or worse?

    Yes I took the second photo a few months ago, before I even started the course. I was asked to go to the airport with her to just take photos. She offered to pay but I refused as I knew they wouldn’t be so crash hot & I told her as much. The model in the first image I took just last Tuesday. But is the lighting for her honestly okay? I only had 15 minutes in the studio and I’m not very confident with lighting and posing people. Does she look too awkward?

    I’m not trying to sound snarky so I’m sorry if my reply has come across that way. I really, really appreciate you taking the time to give me a bit of feedback.
