>>2829523Thank you for the insight. That's the main issue I am having with portraiture work is capturing that feeling. I'm confident in taking technically good looking photos (lighting, editing, etc) but posing the models is where I'm struggling, a lot. They end up looking like senior photos, which is something I'd like to get into since it's easy money, but I've yet to charge for a shoot since I'm not 100% confident in all aspects of portraiture work.
I've got another photoshoot this Friday with a couple of girls, and I'll try to use all the tips from this thread to help make those photos.
Here's a photo from a past shoot that shows some emotion, not technically perfect, but I still like it.
>>2830368If you read any of my responses you would realize I'm going to get a Rokinon 85mm f/1.4. Can't wait to get that amazing piece of glass.
