Second group crits

In the second group crit that I had earlier today, I took in my latest work of the illuminated faces. I showed everyone a selection of about ten images from across the two shoots and I was given feedback.
There seemed to be a general liking to my idea. and particularly with a couple of the images, people said that they sensed the fear and discomfort of the model in the shot. This seemed good, and gave me confidence that I was going in the right direction.
One of the things that Dave and Sarah picked up on were that the technical aspects to the images were not quite right. They told me that the images were too dark, and that I needed to get my exposures better. I tend to agree with them on this, and even though I want the images to be quite dark in appearence, I should shoot them at the correct exposure initially and edit them later in photoshop. I will certainly have to get a more powerful torch now so that I can have more light in my images.
