on assignment

my sweet model girl was so patient today as i dragged her from place to place today, trying to find the right setting.  we got to try out some of my ideas...some are still waiting on the right settings.  some ideas worked, some didn't.  but it was all about the lessons learned.  here are a few of my favorites for this week's theme "obscurity".  in this case, i went with a sub-theme of teenage angst and running away....

    Nice Photos, Char! I sure wish I could get my 16 year old to pose for me like that. Your daughter is beautiful. I hope she enjoyed the final outcome of the shoot!

    Wow! Awesome pictures, Char! And I love your new model. She's perfect for this shoot. I especially like the third one down. There's real vulnerability in the way her left foot is turned.

    I second the vote for the urban pictures. They're really working well in setting the tone.

    Your model did a great job. The last image is my favorite. It captures all the angst of that age.

    Where is Andy's? I've never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

    the last one is the most expressive.

    the one where she is looking down, holding the teddy with her hair across her eyes, is the most poetic.

    you inspire. thank you.

    Omigosh, that must have been so much fun for you! I LOVE #3 -- I think she looks small and obscure next to that wall. I also really like the composition in that one. Wonderful work, Char!

    Great shots! The last one is my favorite...something about the way she is holding her head is perfect.

    char ... each one is so artistic and different I think the tulle adds so much softness/interest and of course I adore bricks

    Great lighting on these, my only suggestion is some are a little too posed. Next time, have her just jump around to loosen up.

    It is wonderful how a theme can bring out so much creativity!...I love your whole series and would have a hard time having to vote for only one...but I will say that for the theme I like how #9 , #11, and the last have your model's face obscured...

    I think the second and forth are my favorites, they feel the most natural to me.
