Here are some of the portraits from my first studio session:

• The lighting looks nice in all of them and is not too harsh or soft.
• Both eyes appear to be in focus in all of the photos.
• I tried to fill the photo with Tessa instead of having a lot of blank space above her head.
• I like the eyes looking into the camera as it draws your own eyes in more and I feel eyes are the most important feature on a face.
• The neutral clothing works well as it does not detract attention from the face.

Here is one of the photos edited:

I am trying to go for the dark, sinister and gritty look to my photos. I feel Tessa looks as though she has come from underground in this photo but I love how her eyes look piercing. I am not sure if it is too dark and may have to get some opinions on it before I submit this photo though.
