I just uploaded a new portfolio. I would love to hear everyone’s feedback. Please go comment or respond on this thread! Aug 09 19 06:24 am Link Sure. Some pieces look pretty good. Just a general rule that might have improved certain pics. Not that it's appropriate for every pic: - The brightest part of the pic should be in the subject, especially if the dynamic range of the background is relatively high. The lighting in a few pics is a bit flat. Your portfolio is heavy with gel work. I know that's what you are asking about. 'Maybe cut some of the more flatly-lit "gel-looking" stuff. This pic bothers me:  It looks like you used a brush poorly, and it is poorly lit in the first place. This one looks pretty good except the near eye is closed.  This looks pretty good:  Aug 11 19 12:08 pm Link Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind when shooting in the future.

Here's an example: 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35548926 Aug 25 19 12:33 pm Link Your work seems creative but some of your lighting isn't helping the models. Several of who to be frank aren't ladies I'd show. Quite often fair or not photographers are judged by the models they feature. Going forward I'd look at tools in CS like Liquefy. Some paid software like PhotoScape the non free version have a great tool kit with a Liquefy tool which is easy to use. Also watch where you crop images. Cutting off at joints can look odd. Aug 25 19 08:40 pm Link I think the exposure on some images are over or under exposed. Are you using a hand held light meter?

Light meters save time, but they aren't essential. Aug 31 19 01:15 pm Link I'm not really a lover of gels but you certainly did well with them and, it has to be said, some of your models are truly stunning! The choice of models in my region is quite restrictive. As a suggestion, I would cut down the number of images to your very best and relook at the cropping on most as they seem far too tightly cut - area perspective is just as important.

So, I just want to find out if the inconsistency is during the capture or in the editing. Sep 04 19 11:46 pm Link Thanks for the feedback. So the way I learned gel lighting, is that the only way to control light in an image is to physically move the light. Which in turn leads to how I have to crop my images. Turning up the power on the lights causes the colors to change (red to pink, blue to cyan, etc). Also the further I move my lighting back, You often lose specularity in the highlights.
