Hi All,

I have done one photoshoot with a cute littel girl Saanvi. As this was my second photoshoot only. I think it came out good and her parents like it too. But I need your inputs to make it better.

I need comments and suggestion that helps me to become a better photograper and successful as professional photographer...

Please Please Please go through all photographs and give your views on photos.

The photos are well done. The only thing that caught my attention was the way the photos were taken. Normally I see grown up models in some of the styles of your photos. I am used to seeing children in more of a playful and innocent way. Not saying that there is anything wrong with the photos. Just that she seems a bit grown up for her age. I would expect more playful and smiling photos.

It could be a cultural difference, but I don't care for the images for several reasons. I agree with JaimeVinas in that I would have liked to have seen her more "childlike" with the poses.

This one might fall in that same category, but somehow it works for me. The red accents in the background, and the fact that everything is black/white and tidy make it work. Also the shelf line intersects at her shoulders rather than chopping off a body part.

Overall this is my favorite.

Dear Michelle,

Thanks for you comments. Actually I started with plain back ground but she was moving around the house and I didn't want to restrict her to perticular area. I wanted a natural photos of her and it was only possible when I let her roam around and play :).

Your comments will help me and I will keep this thing in mind next time.

Even My favorite is

She seems like quite a happy little girl in most of the shots. To the comments about the photos seeming too grown up, I'm not sure I see it the same way. She just looks like she has way prettier dresses than I had growing up.

My #1 critique would be to be mindful of your backgrounds and where background lines fall. Keep the photos clean of background clutter. Watch how lines in the background intersect on your subject.
