To me it depends on what the show is about. How do you want them to feel after the show?

First one I feel calm and it is more pleasing but thats it. Pretty pic and thats it.

They second one Im uncomfortable and I have questions. Im paying attention to everything in the pic. The wood walls the hanger, her tattoos, what is she drinking?

Just off first thoughts
funny, we had different interpretations of the 2nd pic.
I thought the 2nd was bland....more like a normal snapshot.

If delicate was what you were going for with the first one, it hits, I think.

The second one I like more though. Cept for that hanger in the back.

Not sure how how that can be interpreted as a snap shot, do u not see the over sized cup or finger tattoo. I get what you're saying, first one is more pop....appeals to everyone. The 2nd is more art, more subtle.

I dunno.

I just ...I'm not criticizing you. Lord knows I'm a terrible photographer, but the 2nd one just feels like you walked over to a lady and took her picture and went to get a snapple.
I think if I were scrolling through a portfolio, I wouldn't even give it a 2nd look.

You have to pick what you love though. I'm no expert by any means at all.
If you have a site with pics though, please share. I love looking at stuff like that. I used to work in a camera shop for 3 years.

2nd one, but 1st if you want to be safe.


That's what I was thinking.

I like number 2, the chick is in an indie band and I feel like if she got famous...that could end up being an iconic shot. The first one is more universally liked but I think its mainly cause the girl is pretty.

Haha, then by all means go with that one.

You might have to do like George Costanza in Seinfeld...do the opposite of whatever I say. Haha.

Well yeah, she's done up more and is like that universal image of the typical pretty white girl, while the 2nd is kind of like grungey, but still feminine. I see the 1st woman as a woman who is a girly girl that loves to shop, the 2nd one seems like a thinker but chic.
