Same as haim. Get a little more closer to the subject

I think the first two are too centred.
Distance wise is about right.
To take these to the next step, id recommend getting a cheap flash, light stand and a 5 metre sync cord, that way you can light her to make her pop out of the images.

I quite like the B/W photo. Has kind of a creepy feel :D

[thirdkid]

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, flash is on its way here.

As for the sync cord, are wireless any better?

[smurff]

if you go wireless, from what i can tell, the more you spend the better you get hahaha, think a few people on here use these

Regarding sync cord Vs wireless.
The good thing about Sync cords are you get max sync speed with no issues . They are super cheap 5m for about $16 and you can join more than one together.
Bad things about sync cords , you might need a hotshoe adapter to connect the cord to the flash, the cord is a hazard and someone might trip over it , and could hurt themselves and/or damage the flash.

Wireless
There are the cheap ones, the pluses are they are cheapish $80 pair , no wires/ less hazards.
Negatives, getting the max sync speed is not a given, the range is limited ( i have used 3 different sorts and struggled to get consistent triggers at over 5-6m. You need spare batteries. And they might fail for no reason.

The expensive one( pocket wizards $400 each, cybersync $90 each), the pluses you get consistent max sync speed, range 80m-400m, if they dont fire the flashes YOU have done something wrong , and cant blame the triggers :D
The negatives, cost, batteries.

I have had some cybersync for over a year and they have never let me down, except for a flat battery , but that was a 30 second fix. I also have 2 x5m cords just incase my triggers ever fail.

Thats my take a cord vs wireless,

look around.... pocket wizards are not that expensive...... ( at least not 400..... just have a look around and i'm sure you will find a better price than that)

as goes for the triggers....

i started off with 4 pocket wizard plus II's .... now i have 3 as i sold one but yeah... they are good... i would recommend to u to save up and actually get them and not the cheaper ones. and definitely not go with the sync cord.... do it once - do it right.
