I'm just starting to really get into photography, I'm a photographic imaging student and everything but outside sources and experienced photographers and models and anyone who wants to critique my work i would love that, I'm only looking to better myself and i can't do so without y'all. I don't do studio shots really, I'm more of natural light kind of photographer. WATERMARK IS TOO BIG, I GOT THAT NOW. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32910717 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32910827 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32910854 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32910746 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32910680 I'm pretty much starting out so they may scream "NEWBIE" or "EW" y'all be honest. Thank you in advance. Jun 13 13 06:18 am Link Read up on the basics of photographing humans Lighting and such And what's up with the big ass watermark? Your photos are very amateur looking but Study up and keep working at it ! Jun 13 13 06:43 am Link Not so bad, you just need to work on your lighting. Fill flash or a reflector would really help. Get yourself a good portable source of light and keep practicing. Please make that watermark smaller...HOLY COW man that's just crazy! Jun 13 13 06:53 am Link Okay i'll go get one as soon as i can, thanks for the advice, i'll make the watermark smaller. Jun 13 13 07:06 am Link The only one I think has real problems is this one: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32910854 The composition is great. But I'd like to see the model either as a very dark silhouette or well lit. It's kind of in between. Otherwise I think the images you posted in this thread are great. Jun 13 13 11:41 am Link Your horizon is quite level Composition, you have the model almost centered left to right, usually turns out better leaving more space in front of the model so she has some place to go into Another element in the image is the horizon might be better if lowered so it is closer to 1/3 simply crop off some of the bottom or add sky You already know about the logo Models head and body are facing the camera, add dynamics and face the models body on an angle to camera For me the light that is dappled on her face is annoying, tone it down by using a scrim between sun and model [Piece of white fabric] could also add light to face with a reflector That logo makes it hard to look at But you did place her so there is more space in front of her then behind so that part works out Busy shirts distract from the models face Whites of eyes do not match, models left brighter then right Over all image seems muddy Move away from the background Crop the image just below ladies elbow, Photoshop out the cars Did I say that logo bothers me? Would also crop halfway between female models back and left photo border [get the couple out of the center of the image] Wish you well Jun 14 13 06:43 am Link learn how to use reflectors and diffusers to add to your repertoire. Your composition is basically portrait for the moment. Work on maybe exploring more different compositions in your work. Not a terrible start though. I have seen way worse. good luck Jun 14 13 07:04 am Link |
