This is my favourite set of the series so far. Lovely images
#2 The wooden legs are a little distracting and I cant help but wonder what her veil is caught onl

The images to me seem to indicate that you got a beautiful location and a beautiful model/bride....but you just didn't know what to do with her. The poses seem forced and awkward and don't compliment the subject in her environment. The composition in image #2 is very awkward with the veil leading the eye directly out of the image space. I would have liked to have seen her more animated...perhaps twirling or dancing or running. There should have been more of a narrative or story. Why is she in the woods? Perhaps some other props...a bottle of bubbly or a borzoi dog or a bouquet of flowers would have helped lift them up?

i like your aesthetic taste and the execution of the images
although i think the first one is the only one with real value because from her expression and other contextual clues like the forrest it portrays a sense of wonderment, the emotion of this image makes it the best

i feel though the others are just derrivates of the concept

well done anyway

Pretty amazing location, light etc! :cheers:

As already mentioned, the wooden leg is a little distracting but wow! Great quality images.

How many assistants do you have? What time of day is this? (assuming this is an outside shoot)

Many thanks for your comments, very good points!

The truth is that i have had some other poses in my mind,
but it was the first time i have seen the model and very soon
i realized that there were some limits... Althoug, it isn't her fault but mine.
The lesson for me was that i have to spend more time with the model
and not the shooting day but a day or two before to have the ability
to organize my plans better and know how much i can push a situation.

Bad english - i know - but i hope that you can understand what i'm saying.

Many thanks again for the comments and the suggestions!!

I have one assistant and as for the time 6-7pm. I had to reduce three stops via ND to use f1.2 or f1.4 in these shots.

I didnt realise there was so much light at that time of day, but then again it is the summer in Europe isnt it?
