Not the usual subject type but I wonder what you guys think of these. Any ideas to improve for next time would be appreciated http://danknafophoto.com/#106 Jan 13 13 10:47 am Link I really like it. Comp is great love the colors... to me it looks very professional like one of those interviews in magazines about important people. nice job!

Looks like a magazine piece on an artist, minus the writing part. The only thing I would do with it (if possible) is separate her photos more. With your other "portraits", each one is different, so that small, 1/4" grey bar separating the photos works, but with the portraits of that painter, with her having all her paintings in the background, it made the photos kind of run together. A small critique. Jan 13 13 04:01 pm Link

Not sure how to 'improve' for next time as these are nicely composed and nice colors and tone. Really great job at avoiding reflection in the glasses too... And puppies!

The 3rd one is especially harsh. Flattering light will help get you repeat commissions. Jan 13 13 06:03 pm Link Fleming Design wrote: Agreed. Overall though, great job.

Jan 13 13 07:10 pm Link Whew. There's a lot going on there visually. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, just different/busier than the fashion images I'm used to looking at. It is interesting, in that it is a visual that makes you sit there and look around for a bit, to take it all in, so it keeps the interest going. Jan 13 13 07:46 pm Link Some totally ripper enviro' portraits Dan. Two thumbs up on my end. Jan 13 13 08:28 pm Link wow, they all look great, nicely done!! Jan 13 13 08:30 pm Link Thanks everyone. All your input is much appreciated. Jan 13 13 09:04 pm Link A couple of things... You photographed her amid a bunch of art. It's not clear whether she creates, sells, or collects the art. Based on the images, I'm guessing she collects. (You show her at a table with scissors and what appears to be photographs.) I could be wrong... Needed more light on her eyes. The glasses frames are blocking too much light. Maybe just rearrange the lighting, but then you might have positioned the lights to avoid reflections in the lenses. Maybe a shot with her just holding the glasses... or ask her if she has some old glasses you can knock the lenses out of. No lenses - no reflections. The shots are okay... but coulda been better. Just my opinion. Jan 13 13 09:12 pm Link John Allan wrote: yeah, there is a lot going on visually, i agree. Jan 31 13 08:43 pm Link the glasses are casting a shadow right on her eyes, too, especially in the first shot. Jan 31 13 08:44 pm Link dave phoenix wrote: That is some good advice. Thanks.
