Hello, My Name is Nick and I am a Graphic Designer who has just been getting started in photography. Any constructive critiques to make my work better would be appreciated. Thank you, Here is a link to my work. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/3343980/viewall Dec 24 15 03:50 pm Link This works... Albeit I'm not a fan of having the iris slammed into the corner of the eye... Aeriously creates an illusion that the talent is cross-eyed... The ONLY time this might work is if the talent has face turned away for the camera and is looking back into the lens... Your avatar is not even at an amateur level... lose it... In your BIO you state I would be available to shoot weddings... Do you have a clue on how incredibly difficult it is to be an effective event shooter?

The Negative: Using selective coloring technique (black and white with only a few items colored in) in your port is a quick way to get labelled amateur. It was popular about ten years ago but no serious photographer does this anymore. Jan 01 16 09:43 am Link I agree - the one of you looking over your shoulders works great. Here is why I think it works. Your shoulders are facing one direction yet your head is turned to your left. This implies you were focused on something in front of you then something else appealing caught your attention - maybe it was a good looking fellow. The mysterious eyes (thanks to the hair) looks sexy and inviting to whoever caught your attention. But I do agree the eyes touching the corners is usually considered a bad idea.

Secondly your facing expression looks more like you are concerned/worried and is just plain awkward. Jan 04 16 07:21 pm Link |
