Hi all, ordinarily I focus on travel photography however last weekend attempted my first formal portrait session. I had two lamps, 1 tungsten and 1 daylight lamp with a background sheet. Using my Nikon D100 & speedlite flash. I think I had the model too close to the background, so next time will have more space so as to lose the shadows. I took a series of photos and would appreciate and tips/tricks, feedback on how to improve on these.

None too shabby there, I like the 3rd one best. The background on the 2nd one looks odd though, looks like you've applied a blur in PP and the rubbed bits of it out near to the outline of the model.
 
Ya know what? I think these are fantastic! I love the colors you have used in the backdrop. :)
I agree with Kev, *** the 2nd one. But the 1st and 3rd one are fantastic!
 
the focusing is a bit off in the first, which is a shame casue its a really ncie capture and pose.

the second is a nice pose, but again i'm not sure about the focusing.

The third is the best imho, a really nice smile, pose and capture. Well done!
 
I think these are really good - nothing too clever or arty - just well lit, well exposed shots, which is never easy. Further away from the bg would have been better, but the slight shadows are hardly untrusive.

It looks like you've gone for a slightly soft effect, but I'd give them a sharpen to make a more of the the eyes.

Damned attractive model!
 
I've had worse:D:naughty::naughty:

Nice set(y)(y)
