or a model under a tree
A different and wider shot of a promotions model I posted previously, when i had the opportunity through an adjacent car show. I'm not sure about the pose, particularly the hands.

I am no portrait expert but she looks a little awkward...not sure why? Perhaps it's the expression... Do you have any otheres from the shoot?

she looks a little awkward...not sure why

Because it is not a natural pose for her and she is not
smiling. Nothing wrong with the photograph, but with
the pose of the model and possibly she did not feel
comfortable in that environment.

I have photos very similar to this one.

She'd never modelled for a photographer previously, (they walk around the car show handing out promotional material ) so wasn't relaxed and i think that shows. I literally had only a couple of minutes with each lady so it was a big ask of her and her mates to expect too much when rushed so much.

Another of the above model

On the money. I'm sure given time she would have relaxed, though many people never can when a camera is pointed their way.

She has a nice smile... I just can't help but look at the nose ring.

Yep, not a fan facial piercings myself.

gotta open those shoulders out! that would change the whole dynamics of the pose and image..
