Trying to make an already beautiful picture even better

    Hi Darren,
    You have adequate "head-shots" of your model, which are important for agents and producers. I'd suggest more "situational" shots involving sports or daily activities (and the clothes that go with them - school, hiking, riding, etc.) The images #4 and #5 approach this, but the backgrounds are too plain. On the other hand, the phone camera shot and "smiler" are too busy in the background. The key to showing off a model is to find a background that is at the same time interesting but does not distract from the main subject.
    Also move the model off center. See if you can elict different smiles (laugh, surprise, wonder, contentment - all these emotions produce different types of smiles) rather than the usual "OK, now smile" pose. (Ciaran's picture has a great smile, BTW). This is not easy with youngsters, and I don't know the best method either.
    Best of luck to you and your client!
