About half of the images from my portfolio are new—love to hear feedback in terms of technique, composition, and post-production. I was fortunate to get my feet into a couple LA agencies doing test shoots; now going into my second year, love to hear what I should improve from here. All image are shot in natural light, and post-processed in Photoshop & Lightroom. Thanks ahead! Oct 23 16 05:15 pm Link You have a really nice style. I like your use of light and tones. Often a person's strength is either in color or b&w, but you work both really well. I love the vibrant colors. I'm drawn to some of the portraits, which are classy and expressive. It's no surprise you have interest from agencies. But why all men? I would think you need to shoot women also, so you have that variety. Agencies will expect it. This is my favorite from your portfolio. I love everything about it... the tones, shadow play and expression.... Very expressive, and the toning is perfect...

Example the eyes seem a bit unsettling, as they seem to be looking in different directions, with models right eye looking higher up and to models right side more then his left eye. There also seem to be some kind of artifacts left behind on the right side of the photo, about halfway between right photo border and models head, as if a faint clone of models ear and bright area of hair. This might be a great time to add some back light and or rim light, to help separate the dark parts of the hair and shirt from background. A lot of the photos seem to have a lots of shadows on your models faces from the harsh lighting environment. I wish you well Dec 11 16 07:53 am Link Thank you for the detailed feedback! Anyone else? Any thoughts? Dec 18 16 05:09 pm Link One little studio trick to be aware of for male subjects... Keep one or two small screen type scrims around to subdue the light hitting the ears. Also a somewhat larger one for guys with bald or shaved heads. Dec 21 16 06:02 pm Link |
