Hello all!

I am looking for critique on my latest album Beauty in decay. It was a photoshoot done in a abandon house. Please let me know anything I could do different next time!

Thank you!

The Focus of your series appears to be much more on the Model than on the decaying house . So given that I am going to say simply that generally 1-2 photos of the Model wearing that same outfit is sufficient for a portfolio ( unless you have some extraordiairy fashion or posing going on ) The Poses of your Model are pretty basic and there is no emoting . And your lighting is all over the place...As a photographer I think you can have done much better in all these areas ( including directing your model )

I agree with Garry, you are giving us too much to look at. I always view it as the photographer's responsibility to narrow the selection down to the best one or two shots...preferably one single shot for a wardrobe and/or scene. It's up to the photographer to look for the subtle differences of a series and really discern the differences of a photo compared to the others. Angle, expression, lighting, etc., it is up to the photographer to recognize what the image is trying to say and to understand which image says it the best.
