Description
It was really odd sitting her by that door...it was slightly cracked and felt that at any moment something would come out of the abandoned building...

The title of the picture is really the meaning of the picture =3
The look, the pose, the place ... everything give the idea of the lack of secure.
Her eyes, the first thing a spectator notices on a face are hidden by the hairs and their shadow, giving her an anxious, almost melancholic, look. Her arms are posed as a "shield" ( for psycologists, they are a wall between the person and the outdoor in such position ), and reinforce the idea of insecure. The place, with neutral tones and such look of almost deserted place, has the same effect.
She looks the spectator, but she looks to in front of her. And according to the vegetation, I think she is probably looking at a wood, a forest. Because the green is the symbol of hope, of calm and freedoom, perhaps such green is a way of comfort for her.
It reminds me a little the work of Savitry ( he had a big talents for sad portraits [link] )

You have an incredible talent for interpreting meaning in a photograph. I wanted to capture the nervous edge she possessed (because she was, in fact, a little worried about being seated next to the door). I ended up only getting three shots out of the whole experience and this one turned out to be the one that portrayed the elements I wanted the most. And I feel like I'd like to take a better look at Savitry now. The link you gave was a beautiful photo.

Thanks 
I understand, but often, and it s odd, natural and quick pictures are the best. Capa said "the first pic the original, the second the copy". Former photographers had expensive tools, so they had to be quick and have the pic on one shoot.
It could be a good opportunity =3

Thats so different from what my teacher tells her students. She always says that it takes 100 to find the perfect one. I do often take hundreds of similar pictures because there are always slight differences that I pick out. But I feel that if I pose a model TOO much, the natural expressions and mood could disappear quickly. But I am very grateful for Kylee. She was my first model (still current of course) and her ability to portray her feelings is absolutely incredible.

My art teachers always had differents points of views 
Some of them said the same thing than your teacher, and I understand: today, with new technologies, it s more easy to work.
But for my other teachers, you have good artists and great artists. Great artists prefer to touch the perfection, and promote the quality on the number. And old school photographers promoted too the quality =3 In france, lot of students learn old school analog photography, because it s the best practice for increase the sillks =3
She looks a good model. A trick you can play on her could be to let her discovering the topic of the picture just when she poses

I'm almost afraid of the idea of taking just one or a few photos

If you teachers learn you such way of work, practice it too =3
The fact you shoot less pic forces you to increase your reflex and your instincts but it s more stressfull, I admit it. Choose the way you prefer, but you can train yourself with less number of shooting =3
And remember, more the pictures you shoot, more the time to choose the good ones you need =3

I think I'll try that... thank you so much for giving me a different shooting technique. I'm going to work with it and see if it will help in the long run

You' re really welcome =3 it s always nice to meet a photographer and discover how she works, especially when she is cool =3
If I must give you one reference for the quick shoot [link] he invented and promoted the technique, his pics could be good references
