My daughter Jessica dressed as an angel for Halloween (Her friend Lindsay went as a Devil)
and she gave me about 15 minutes for a quick photo shoot. Jess did her own makeup.
I appreciate all constructive criticism because I am just learning here.

Hi Steve
I stumbled on your website by acident. I'm guessing you want constructive feedback? I have a few comments that I think would help you, hopefully.
Your composition is good, and you definitely have talent. Next time try different lighting, ther seems to be a lot of shading in her face, think of the context or the message.
How old is the girl? She's very slim with little womanly shape so I'm guessing quite young, early teens? 12/13? As she was wearing an angel outfit she should look more angelic, especially with her youth, however some of the shots look like she wants to be seen as sexy Now of course most girls will do but it detracts from the angelstyle, therefore actually looking slutty. She is very pretty and obviously not meant to look slutty but the outfit is revealing, quite clubby to be honest which emphasises the oposite of angelic. Please don't take this as an offence, its only the message from the positioning of her. For example close up looking to the left with the mouth slightly open....? Not all give that connotation, they are good shots just some things to think about in the future.
i hope that is helpful, these were my first thoughts. You have a talent and to be a photographer you also need to be a good director, don't leave it to the model to decide, use props, play with photoshop, play with lots of lighting.
Hope it helps.
