I want to preface all these comments with
1 - Great job!! Keep learning, you're off to a great start.
2 - I'm really jealous of your 5d mark 3. I'm currently shooting a 5d mark 2 & saving for a mark 3 to have my mark 2 as a backup :x
- The lines are crooked. This is easily fixed in post or just be a bit more conscious of your composition in camera.

thanks for taking the time out! very helpful and I'll definitely learn from this.
what 50mm were you using? were you using the canon STM?
If you keep shooting portraits I highly recommend looking into getting a canon 85mm USM 1.8. Very high value lens.

I checked your Flickr. Your shutter speeds are just kind of off for the shots. You shot 1/200th of a second when the girl as twirling and you'll never get that in focus with that kind of movement. Get your shutter faster. I know you shot at higher ISO at times but you need to just get out of the shutter speed you are at.
And bro, I hope you don't mind I did this. I also think you picked the wrong photos to show. I edited your photo below that I felt was a good shot. Just needs an edit or two. I am sure some people on here could do some great things with your photos as well. Let me know if you want to take it down too.
right now I'm shooting with the sigma 20mm art, sigma 50mm art 1.4, and the canon 135 L. will look into the 85 1.8, for sure... and try to be patient enough to save up for that 85mm 1.2

rokinon/samyang 14mm? were you shooting wide open @2.8?

judeezy36 Work on getting that exposure right and always (for portraits) focus on the eyes! Don't be afraid to bump up your shutter speed and your ISO a bit. A little grain never hurt anybody.
Just keep shooting and over time, it'll come to you. Watch as man y youtube videos as you can as they really do help. The thing that helps the most is practice. You're off to a great start, so if you keep practicing, I'm sure your first paid shoot will come soon.
Fong nice work with that edit.
I love how supportive this thread is.
For those portraits you really should have used the 135mm for the close ups!!!
But yeah man... Hit that single point auto focus on the eye & expose for the skin (when using natural light) & you're GOLDEN.
You don't always have to follow the rule of thirds, but it's a good start.

MYTH #9: “Cropping to the rule of thirds after shooting a photo is a great way to save an image”
Cropping a poorly composed, badly lit image will not save anything. That’s starting at the end and working backwards.
some great stuff in here from you guys!
