Brooke the 'Office Chick'

[Mad Aussie]

Last weekend we had a 'stock photography' office shoot where a modeling friend of my daughters came over and we snapped a few shots.

This was not for portraiture at all so the photo below wasn't taken with portraiture in mind.

However, after having a quick play with the photo in PP I thought it was worth seeing if anyone thought it worthwhile.

I really like the softness it has to it yet that her eyes are so piercingly blue and sharp. Pretty girl.
I might be being too picky here however,see a bit of red on her the right side of her neck and I might think about retouching that out. I'm hardly an expert on "photography anything" right now I realize, but since you've been helpful in critiquing my posts, I thought I would give you my $.02 in return.

Certainly don't think that as a beginner you don't have valuable opinions and critique.

I see that mark you mean now. I have never noticed it before. As I said, we'd been doing an office shoot with Brooke and I guess we have her looking down perhaps in the previous shots that caused that slight red colour.

Nice soft light and what a striking model. I'd shoot her again in a heartbeat. Her face is very versatile for getting different "looks".
I like this shot but she is too close to the background imo. The books and her own shadow behind her head are a bit distracting to me.
Hope that helps

Yeh as I said ... it was an office shoot so the background was supposed to be discernable.

Brooke does indeed have a few very different looks at times.
