    German Cheerdancers

    Another photoshoot with the Bayern Munich cheerdancers, none of the images have been edited, realise that there are some marks on the backdrop, was just wondering if you had any comments on the portraits themselves.

    Many thanks

    Herriot,

    Great shots though a little lackluster for me. I like the last one, just as it incorporates the full body, but other than that, these don't do much for me.

    This top shot is ruined by the arm coming in from the right side....otherwise it would have been a good shot.

    I agree, the full body shots are better.

    Pretty girls and the exposure is good, but I'd like to see them off of dead center and in more lively poses or angles. These look a bit like passport photos.

    Re: German Cheerdancers

    Herriot, I like the second shot in the first set a lot. It just just the right amount of spontaneity to set it apart from the rest. I like the tight crop and centered subject, and I like that she doesn't look so "posed".
    Now what you need to do next, is give all these lovely girls my contact info!

    oh i bet it was terrible shooting all those young girls ;).

    i like them all, though most all of them need a serious crop job to be used.

    Re: German Cheerdancers

    Thanks for the input everyone,

    LavalLamp - Passport photos! Ouch!! Not sure I could really have heard anything worse!!! Do appreciate the comments though & I know what you mean about striking other poses but this is what the client requested, the pictures will all be edited before production, glad you liked the exposure!

    Thanks again
