NUGGETS AWAY!!!!!!

great shot


My impression of your work - you are def into angles & light, you love skewing the models into the frame of the photo. very rarely doing a straight on shot. nice & consistent in your approach, and it shows up in the location shots inside & outside.

Your avat shot has this, and #4, 7, 9, 14, 19 - all very nice shots!


#11 & 20 are my least fav - the point of view of #11 is kind of flat, nothing jumps out.
And #20 the background is too bright for the model in the shade, she is pretty and wearing red - she should pop out much more.


Great work, best of luck!

please feel free to critique my work

Your stuff seems like you just do this as a hobby.. I really cant comment much more as there is really no subject or style to these.. I would try using some flash or getting some outdoor shooting books..

Feedback pleaseeeee

My fav

Great triptych - I like the 3 different framing styles of the subject. The last shot on your page has this same style and is also nice & effective.

I'm not so much into the one where the chainsaw just pops out, could be more fun as a stand alone shot
I think the dancer leap shot with the window in the background also works better as a stand alone shot.

I also like shot #3, 6, 13.

The family shot - on the fence about that, kind of cute - but not really in line with the other work - especially the piercings and all that.
A couple shot could go - just not as strong as others.
4, 5, 9 (similar to the one below it) and 13.


best of luck

Your studio skillz are great and lighting is good to. I only wish you would go outside and to locations some more.. Your two outside shots are good but not as strong as your other stuff.. Play with lighting and the outdoors and i think you will find something you have been missing for a bit.. All in all a great port and keep shooting shooting and shooting..

JOHN

Thank you!
I'm soooo scared of shooting outdoors. I feel like I'd be wasting the model/mua/stylists time if the photos come out bad. lol
But I'll practice with my son, if I can get him to sit still long enough!

I would love a few minutes of your time...Thanks in advance!

HI Crystal..

You have a great body, and smile.. Your shots are not the best and not that great. By this i mean try and work with better photographers.. You are good they are bad.. Once you do this i really think you will have a better port.. Dont stop just be more selective in who and what you shoot..

thanks in advance

You know how to take a good picture. Your subjects and settings could use some work.. If you can concentrate on refining your interaction with the models and get better locations, or more interesting studio shots then you will be on the rite path to a great body of work... all the best

don't be too harsh, still a newbie

Very strong portfolio so far for a "newbie"

Great shots:



My advice - keep doing what you are doing - keep adding the variety of styles & looks.
Maybe a couple outside, natural light images thrown in - photographers look at the natural shots often to get a feel for how someone looks, before all the MU & Styling & photoshop.

I think you already have some very nice fashion looks, and as someone that shoots a lot of editorial/commercial - you are great for these fields as well.


I know a great chicago photographer - I will PM you his info - check him out!

later, !

Me too. I've just got a couple of shoots under my belt so far...

You have an amazing Profile angle to your face.. Soft cheeks and face.. It seems you have a mix of pro and not so pro shots in your port.. The top is alot stronger than the last few shots.. Keep shooting and try to get more pro looking shots up to replace the others.. That can turn photographers off when they see that kinda stuff.. But you have a great face and body and could really do some great work in the correct hands of a talented photog..

Thank you! I've just started pursuing this semi-seriously, so I've got some more shoots coming up that will add quality and variety.

Don't be too hard only 3 months shooting

For 3 months shooting not to bad... The major issue i have with your work is the models. There is no connection between them and the camera, which means you are not getting them in the mood of the shoot or making them see what you are seeing.. Some shots you could just do with out, and i am sure you know the ones i mean.. Keep shooting, look at other peoples work, and get some how to books.. They help... All the best and keep shooting ..

Hey Michael

My fav for your page


Other shots I like - 6, 14, 17, 18, 19

A def theme here, lovely ladies.
Nothing wrong with that.

But a few too many of the stone wall style backgrounds, and a lot of shots with the same framing - 3/4 shots cropped above the knees.

A few like that is fine, but too many and they blend together.
Toss in some tight close ups, maybe some abstract body images, face portraits and some full frame images.

2, 4, 12, 13 - the weaker shots.
If you have more to add, maybe swap these out.

My 2 cents.


takecare!

I would love to hear your honest opinion!

I think you look good in most of your shots.. You could do with out some of these in your portfolio, but you have a great face smile, and your body shot is my favorite, so a great body as well.. I would keep shooting and try and find a style you work best for and work with that for a bit. You have a great lifestyle commercial feel so try and push that.. I would also try and find a little bit more of a pro photographer to work with even if it costs
some$ you will see the diff that can make.. All together great look and images, just be selective to what you use in the end.....
