--- Quote from: jonbull on May 31, 2017, 07:47 ---some good idea and some good shot. for me the problem in many is light.
sometimes too hard, sometimes too soft and flat.

If u find time, can u link to those photos? :)
To be honest I think my lightning is generally - ok. Since there are ~3000 images, sure I did miss some :) To some degree lightning is a bit of a personal style ... If you are willing post some pics, so we can discuss :)

Studio is a small room, 5x5m, where I mostly use ~120cm brollybox, which i consider on bigger side. Also since room is small, and must be bouncing from walls, I always think its more on the soft side :)


--- Quote from: jonbull on May 31, 2017, 07:47 ---i see the trend is more natural shot. yours model all look very constructed, they lack that easy posing in front of camera, most of them. they pretend to be super model attitude don't work.

Most of people you can see, actually aren't models or even if they are, they are just starting out, I was hoping that wasn't as visible since I pay attention to their clothes & poses. Guess you can't have it all with free, non paid, 'models' :D I agree, lifestyle images always benefit from "easy going" attitude.

As suspected I'm probably lacking in all areas a bit, which is fine, I'll learn thought time. What gets on my nerves is when I work with cheap gear, and get rejected for example, chromatic aberrations (I like shooting backlit) and such. How many of those 0.33$ you must sell to afford good (~1000$ lens), huh  ::)

here for example the subject got confused by the rest, light not put emphasis on them but everywhere else, my eyes are not attracted by them, but by the neck of the girl illuminated by a back light. next time kill ambient with soft box and illuminate the subject more than the rest maybe use some kickers to hint something in the background. or shoot them near window. also there is a HDR felling in this series that i don't like. don't think cause your camera can push shadow without banding or noise that pushing is the solution. light is the solution not pushing 100% shadows in post.

nice idea and light not bad but again too much distraction from background. the subject is barely illuminated. use a gelled flash and balance, my suggestion try use a gel for tungsten balance and flash and use the wb on tungsten...you will be amazed by the result.

Agree with Sean 1000% I had very simple Images of women used horribly. there heads taken off and put on another body then on a Cab in Vegas advertising a strip Joint.Stay away from That.You don't need the problems.
