Hello all.

I am stil trying to find my style finding what I do best.  Could you please have a look at what I have and let me know what you think.

Not sure if you can tell or not but some are older then others. The older ones I did about 6 years ago and the newer ones I did this years. Its pretty amazing the diff between them.

THanks a ton, and be honest I can take it.

Jesus do they suck that bas that no one is giving their opinion?

Hmmm what to think....

I can see a style emerging from your work. I think you are getting close with your compostition. You have a few good shots in there. I don't really see a consitent lighting style. I think you are ready to step to the next level. It would be best if you only worked with the best models and makeup artists you can find. Your job is hard enough without having to "test" with an inexperienced team. It won't matter how good you do your job if you have anything less than an attractive model that poses right with the right clothing, hair and makeup, and location.

If you are really going for a style, dig it out. The only shooting style I see is in your compostition. If you are looking for a consistency, focus on bringing your lighting and themes into your style. And, tighten up your composition just a tad. I think good models that pose well will help with that. I can really see which ones you have worked with that have helped you with this. Don't even try shooting inexperienced models at this time.

Hope it helps,

Rob

THanks a ton ROb I think your right on a lot fo your items.

My questino is tighten up my composition, which ones did you feel need work. I thought that was my strongest part. 

ANy one else cna jumo in here, I would like to hear from more of you.,...


THanks..

Emulate shots you like from photos, paintings, etc. until you break free and grow into your own thing. This includes lighting and exposure. Your fundamentals need more honing before having style concerns. It's like asking how much style should you use during 360 dunks when you're bricking your lay ups.

You do seem to be progressing however you aren't molding the light most of the time. A gold reflector on shot row1, column 4 (if you have the crew to help) would have helped pop it more. Is the original a bit out of focus because the web image is pretty soft with a lot of alias artifacting? You did get a good body line there.

Row 1, Column 3: The composition is forced. I'm fine with that but the dark pillow doesn't compensate, doesn't work. At it's size and being around eye level, it's pulling to much focus away from the model for it not to have some interesting pattern or purpose.

R1, C2: What were you showing? Bra, eye shadow, zit? Pick what you want someone to focus on and point to it. You should pull this shot before you put an eye out.

R2, C1; & R2, C2; & R3 C1; & R3, C4 etc. are showing where I think you're going - a sort of spontaneity and naturalism with some mild kinetics. That takes a level of touch and sensibility.

You asked so now you have one more set of opinions to add to your stack.

Thanks sooo much everyone. I will take your opinions to heart and try to aply them.


Again THANKS!!!!
