These pictures were both taken at Bradgate Park, Leicestershire by one of the watch towers placed on the hill tops. I like the location because it has a great view of the surrounding area and is great for walking, and for photography now.
The top picture I have named 'Two Spectators' as the model is looking into the distance and so is the window in the watch tower, hence the two spectators. I like the sky in this photo and the light coming from behind the model (balanced from the front with a reflector). If I could do this shot again I would position my model lower so that she isn't the same height as the tower as I think stepping them may increase the flow of the composition. I would also try and light the tower with some fill light to help bring out the texture of the walls.
The bottom picture I have named 'The Old Turnstyle' as I imagined the arch as the entrance to an old football stadium and my model has just walked through it to survey the pitch. She has a rye smile on her face as she is thinking what the surface of this old pitch would be like. I like the contrasting colours of the bright red shirt against the grey and white of the background. I feel I have got the lighting of the model's face perfect and her stance is really natural. This is one of the few shots that I don't think I would change anything except a little more contrast in the clouds.
