So did you pay $320 for the shoot and the edited images? If so, it's likely you are working with an amateur...a bad one judging by the photos. She tried to do black and white to compensate for terrible light and exposure, probably bad focus, too. Black and white can hide a few things. She probably didn't shoot in raw, making it all the worse. She tried photo techniques (the spin) without practicing enough first... turned out crappy. It's fine to try, but if it doesn't work you don't show the client. If her work was better on her page, it may have been from a photo workshop where someone else set the scene, created lighting, etc. And then they took the pictures and included in their portfolio. Try again with a different photog. Don't recommend this one to your friends.

This made me unreasonably happy, lol. It also gave me flashbacks to my grandparents getting out the projector to show old family movies
