To be honest with you, I don't think the hot spots (which I don't think really exist) are a distraction or anything to really worry yourself over. The brighter areas add contrast and texture to her hair.

My advice - keep shooting pictures of this girl!

I'll say! Tho' nuthin' wrong with the hair or the armpits that I can see. But then, the smile is distracting of course. Enjoy the shoot.

(You are shooting RAW, aren't you?)(no pun intended...)(OTOH )

Armpits are "the pits" in portrait photography. Long sleeved clothing works best for this pose. As far as hot spots on her face Mary Kay facial powder will dull them down. I keep a jar in my camera room for both men and women. When I use it on a man I tell him it is a "specially formulated oil absorbant specfically designed for human skin."

Hey guys - let's be respectful (and careful) about how we address this model. She is only 16 and while there's nothing illegal in admiring her beauty, federal cases have been made about smaller things than writing slightly suggestive comments. And it seems as though she might have seen the comments - since Bryan wrote "Brianna says Thank You!!!".

Bryan - 2 things. 1) When do we get to see the new pictures you took and 2) Make sure someone is with you when you photograph her. I'm a teacher and have seen colleagues have their careers ruined because they allowed themselves to be alone with a student, and that same student made false allegations. The older they get, the more likely it is to happen - because they're smart and they know how to play the game!

It will never ruin their own reputation if they yell foul, but whether its true or not, it sure will ruin yours!
