Working with a subject

[N|z_~]

Anyone got any tips on how to do good portrait photos.
Like when you’re working with a model and stuff?
And... Outdoors not in a studio.

I asked a friend to help me practice and these are the results.

And my first time doing something like this.

I agree with PPP on shade. Afterwards you probably want to warm up pictures, because shade gives them blueish hue. I usually apply warming filter in PS.

Of those three shots, I like the first pose the best. You should try get your subjects eyes visible, even though she has long hair. And try lower angle too. First one is taken at face height, but two others higher... you want to photograph her face, not hair. ;)

p.s. You have lovely friend to practise with. :)
