Meryem 2.0

[Brell]

After reading and thinking about all to good advice I took a other photo of model Meryem. This time in full colour. Using the 70D with a Canon 70-200 mm on a trypod and F2.8 if I remember correct. Now looking at a different way I discovered that Meryem is not standing
upright. And Donald, Google translate is extremely helpful!!

Much better.

I noticed this on your first image of Maryem. Her left eye (camera right in this image) seems significantly different from her right eye (camera left in this image). The eye is smaller and the lower lid almost seems a bit closed closed. I wonder if this is physiological or caused by the camera angle. In both images that eye is the farthest from the lens and the angle is from a lower vantage point.

Richard - I spotted that as well and if you look at people, about 95% (according to some portrait photographer I asked) fall into that category.

Arnold - further to this issue, I think you will find photographing your model from the other side (smaller eye closer to the camera) and the dominant eye away from it will generally result in a stronger image.

The other issue I have with this image is the significant amount of "negative space" on the right hand side of the image. This is not working all that well for me. While I do use negative space, too much is just as bad as too little.

Thanks for your observation, now you point it out I see it to, I will next time if I do a photoshoot, take time to look at the model before I push the button.

I find all the comment far beter then I recived from a other forum, so first my compliments to all of you. Than your comment on this picture, I whas so happy to work with this model, we had instantley a verry good connection, that I lost som Eye to take care for composition. So, again, next time I will drop to much space.
