Today in class, we got to set up lights and had a volunteer to come in and model for us. Here are the shots I took. Any comments would be appreciated.

Portrait work at school
Hi Neeper
Some nice shots there but a few are very soft. 1992 is the best IMO along with 1993. On 1996 and 1999 I would crop up slightly from the bottom mainly to get rid of the other foot as one is cut off.  Chris

Thank you for your comments Chris. I do not know why my pictures are coming out soft!! What can I do to make it better? I shot these at F/8. I can't seem to get any of my shots tack sharp, like some pics I see here on the forum.
Neeper - have you shot in RAW? If you have, at the end of your PP’ing add some USM at 180/0.5/0 in PS and see if that make a difference

neeper:
good first go at studio! you had some nice angles and good exposure in all of the images! my only critiques is to watch your cropping as you have cut off legs or feet in a few of the pics. If you do it the right way it makes great compositions, but if you dont put much thought into it, then it can present like lazy composition. I like the one where you looked down on the model and cropped in on her face only. my experience with studio model shoots is that alot of the time, the model makes THE big difference between mediocre and great shots. I shot two models and basically threw most of the pics out of one, while the other had dozens of keepers. The other thing you can do is play alot with lighting and shadows and use bounce to make the images more dramatic... Im not sure that this model's choice of clothing/colour worked that great on the black back drop tho. As for sharpening your images i would try what chris said by using the unsharp mask in PP. anyways, great job, Keep em comin...
