>>54620 Okay, first off, you'd better post the pics in /s/ and toss us a link when you've finished.
Suggestions: 1. Use a wide aperture. Since you don't seem to be too much with the knowing-what-you're-doing, smaller numbers = wider aperture. This will put the thing you're focusing on in sharp focus and everything else blurry to a greater or lesser extent. 2. If you do that, and it's a shot of her face, for God's sake focus on her eyes. Lots of otherwise good closeups of women's faces are ruined because the camera focused on the closest point--i.e., in-focus nose, blurry eyes. 3. If she has any inkling of a double chin, shoot her face from above. Avoid poses that accentuate any "flaws" in her body, unless that's specifically what you're going for for some reason. Watch out for skin bunching out and looking flabby in places other than her neck, too. 4. Make her smile. Don't just tell her to smile, actually make her smile. Joke with her. Make her feel at ease.
Really, the technical details in this sort of photoshoot are far down the list of what's important. Keeping your model at ease and posing her to make her look her best is a much bigger deal.
Also: My girlfriend's coming to visit me today, so I'll be doing some of this myself. I'll be sure to post anything artistic she'll let me.
