Reflection
Image One has tightest crop and from a teenager's perspective the most revealing in terms of any imperfections identified by the model. These kind of zoomed images can be very intense and reflective of a model's face. However there is exclusion of background and as a result context of the image can not always be identified. This was the least popular image from the model's perspective
Images 2 and 3 were the most popular style of image. I think this was because distance gave the model more confidence in the image opposed to an "in your face" image both from the lens perspective to the model, and also the image to the viewer
Image 4 was accepted because it gave a full image of the model's dress and perhaps if a fashion shoot would be the more accepted by the shoot director.
For Image 5 I've used Colour Efex Pro and used a "Polaroid Transfer" preset that I had experimented with as part of DPP Assignment 4. This gave a glamour effect and one in particular that the model was pleased with.
I recall when researching for a wedding shoot I did in February 2014 that a colleague advised perhaps not to use a sharp prime lens, one less sharp would likely create photographs the bride would be more pleased with.
From a photographer's perspective I am most happy with images 3 and 5 as these are not to close but close enough for the viewer to establish a connection with the model and also for image to show the model's personality.
