I have uploaded and adjusted my model mayhem portfolio and would like to hear what you other members think about it. And if you could tell me what you think my best and worst photo is. Thanks!!! Johny May 19 14 10:18 pm Link Re-think again. The fruit series is solid and clean, the motion blur stuff is very weak, the face painted shot has been done by many, but this is a great version of an idea that still works and the head shot of the girl in fur is just weak compared to your other beauty shots. As someone who hired photographers I would pass on such a book as yours because I see no strong focus or point of view and the technical variance is simply too great to know what I'd end up with. Clearly you have chops, perhaps like so many of us, you cannot edit yourself. Have others pick your best shots and remove yourself from the process until you can put some distance between the emotions of a shoot and the commercial reality of that same shoot. May 20 14 07:04 am Link wow, thank you so much for the honest critique. I definitely see where I should separate myself from the shoot, and let a trained eye pick the best shots. The fruit series are the only photos I have on Model Mayhem that I shot in 2014. You have given me a lot to think about for my upcoming shoots. Thanks, JHP May 20 14 11:11 am Link I won't drag things out by adding to what Jean already stated. It is sufficient to get you on track. I will add something that has to do with displaying images online: I am not sure if you calibrate your monitor, but keep in mind that most people dont. If you have a calibrated monitor, your images might display darker on other systems. You have a catch 22 situation with non-calibrated monitors: There is always a difference between what you see online, and what you expect in your prints.

This for me is not doing it Good one for removal Another for removal Wish you well May 20 14 04:51 pm Link |
