Also, what do you think of my 3 newest additions to my portfolio? Comments would be appreciated! Thank you for your time, Chace W. Jun 14 16 08:42 pm Link As far as the three new shots, they are obviously creative, but visually they don't really command attention. This shot is a great concept, but the lighting could be better to create a more engaging photo. I'll admit I don't find the styling to grab me in this shot. It doesn't seem very masculine to me. It might work in a different context, but for me the styling gets in the way…too elaborate. I see the photographer has some other shots from this shoot, but they aren't working either. These shots have potential, but it's killing me that the photographers didn't put any light in front of you. Each photo has either overhead sun or sun behind you, so your face and figure are in shadow. Grrrrr, very frustrating. I like the energy, but this smile feels a little too over the top. Also, it's subtle, but the direct flash lighting isn't the best. The lack of contrast of your t-shirt and background is a drawback also. I don't know what's going on here. Remove ASAP. These are your best shots. I wish the shadow in the last shot wasn't quite so harsh, but I kinda like how it divides across your face. In my opinion, the last photo is the best in your portfolio…definitely a keeper. Keep working at it. Jun 20 16 09:26 pm Link Thank you so much for your critique! I have never received such good critique before! You definitely helped a lot and I can't thank you enough for that!

The flat lighting has removed the shape from his face - without the shadows and edges in place to show where his cheekbones are, he looks like a middle aged George Bush II. The bad colour balance makes it look he has been sprayed with cheap false tan - possibly on top of a layer of melted wax. It's absolutely awful and unrecognizeable as the same person as this: Jul 06 16 08:16 am Link |
