Hey, we are in the same province! Nov 10 12 12:46 pm Link Sugar Sharai wrote: i think the second link is better pose wise but overall shot isn't that hot. The quality of these photos are not that great and the make up looks harsh not flattering at all compared to your other shots. I suggest working with a professional photographer and mua. Be picky too and contact people who can help benefit your photos, good luck Nov 10 12 12:47 pm Link Sugar Sharai wrote: I think the first one is worst then the second with regards to the post work. Nov 10 12 12:47 pm Link The second is better, IMO, but neither is portworthy. The lighting, composition and makeup are terrible. Nov 10 12 12:49 pm Link Great location, but the post work is awful. Looks like HDR toning which I am not a fan of. You are a beautiful young lady but those don't do you justice. Bet there is lots of photogs in Edmonton that would do a whole lot better,and maybe when I visit there at XMas we can shoot together. Richard Nov 10 12 12:50 pm Link I have to agree...your existing portfolio is much better than these two shots. I'm not crazy about the "HDR" effect in these two photos.

(yes its HDR she did) Nov 10 12 12:53 pm Link If the second pose was taken from a different angle, I think I'd like it a bit more. You've got some great work in your port, and you look like you had fun with this shoot, but you've got so much more going for you babes! Nov 10 12 12:55 pm Link I wouldn't use the word disappointed...you tried something that didn't work. And there are many cases where the "HDR" effect can be used but in order to do it right on skin, the photo has to be treated a certain way and in this case it wasn't. I like where you were trying to go...sadly it just didn't come together. Nov 10 12 12:56 pm Link Sugar Sharai wrote: Yup, definitely toss them. Your port is clean, you don't need cheesy edits and concepts in it Nov 10 12 12:57 pm Link SSR Designs wrote: thank you so much!! i LOVED the pose and the location and my wardrobe, the makeup somehow got a bit messed up in the post processing..( not my doing of course!) so it looks worse unfortunatly!! Nov 10 12 01:05 pm Link Sugar Sharai wrote: Hey no problem! I have a full hard drive of concepts that just didn't work. But I did learn something from each and every shoot. And you are right...keep movin forward you are doing just fine Nov 10 12 01:10 pm Link Sugar Sharai wrote: When I first started out, my photographer sister with 30+ years experience gave me some invaluable advice: Don't be afraid to make mistakes. We learn faster from mistakes than from successes. And when time and opportunity allow, go ahead and screw up a shot on purpose; you never know if it might result in something interesting and end up as a new trick in your arsenal.
