Just looking for some comments on my portfolio. . . check it out! Nov 14 05 09:29 am Link I'm no expert, but I'll put my 2 cents' worth in...You have some really good strong images in your port, and a few that look more or less like snapshots, i.e., "brandon", or "sophie & christina". I'd lose the snapshot-looking photos and concentrate more on the stronger photos like "mike" and "marie" (the headshot specifically). Nov 14 05 01:09 pm Link the Andrea shots are cool as hell, the rest blow monkey chunks.

Have you looked at some of the shit in your own portfolio before calling someone else's stuff monkey chunks? Nov 15 05 07:13 pm Link you have a good Eye!!!. but here is some things iwould do if I were you . Give your subjects more head room (dont cut off limbs and heads). i.e albert is a great shot but his fro is cut off. How are you going to cut off a mans fro. you might want to do all your Croping after you render or develop your pictures. If you have photoshop mess with the Levels .(mid tones highlights and shadows)like the 4th marie shot where she is wearing red. if you added some shadow you would not see that white filmy look on her. looks more natural. do some stuff with color like make the bacround and what your models are wearing work together. The one of albert looks good . nice earth tones. Also look at other peoples stuff and read their critique. and write some too for them. it will train your eye. MOST IMPORTANT keep shooting . you have an EYE Nov 15 05 07:29 pm Link HERE'S A LITTLE HELP. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA BUT THE WRONG ANGLES IN MANY SHOTS. THE FIRST GIRL SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE HER BACK CURVED LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DO ANY JUSTICE FOR HER, AND SHE IS GOOD LOOKING BUT NOT THE POSE. I AGREE MANY SHOTS THE LIGHTING MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A SNAP SHOT. BUT HERE IS THE BIGGEST OF THEM ALL. THE BEST PHOTO'S ARE SNAP SHOTS IF THEY WERE NOT PLANNED OR POSED AND THERE IS NOT A RIGHT OR WRONG PHOTO THIS IS WHY IT IS CALLED ART. WHAT YOU LIKE AND WHAT OTHERS LIKE MAY BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT BUT IS YOU ARE SHOOTING FOR A CLIENT THEN YOU NEED TO RESPECT WHAT THE CLIENT WANTS. SOMETHING TO GO BY. HOPE IT HELPS.
