quote:In 1957, Avedon was commissioned to take a portrait of the couple, who were notoriously photo-savvy — way ahead of the curve of today’s paparazzi-beleaguered movie stars and royals. Knowing that they were dog lovers, obsessed with their own collection of pugs, Avedon is said to have told them that the taxi he had taken to meet them had run over a dog (which wasn’t true). The couple grimaced sympathetically, and — snap! — Avedon took the picture, which is on view in “Richard Avedon: Photographer of Influence” at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn Harbor.

I got to do a pretty cool shoot this weekend with two dancers. We didn't get nearly as much time to shoot as I would have liked, but I did get this shot that I'm pretty happy with.  model: Aurora Black

Gazmachine posted:Thanks. I was slightly worried I got a smidge too close on the first one and distorted her face a little: I may have been better off switching back to the 85. She seems less round-faced in the second shot. I really like both of these, especially the second. There's something lovely about her pose there; it's stiff, but not unnatural at all.

Love the single point perspective in this, works really well with the leading lines in the tiles. I took a portrait today that I'm really loving happy with so please knock me down a peg or 3 before I start thinking I'm some kind of pro.

The skin, especially her face, seems a bit overexposed but the rest of the picture is awesome. She has great eyes and you've separated the neck from the chin line which is always awesome.

AceClown posted:Love the single point perspective in this, works really well with the leading lines in the tiles. Her face is a bit smudgy you could probably even out the consistency The hair is a mess, what's going on with the strand peeping over her left shoulder, on the other side there looks like a strand clumped off. There's good messy hair and bad. This one isn't great because it looks like it's trying to be styled. Why a square crop? What is your reason behind it? Shooting at a slight down angle has made her neck disappear. Sorry if that was more pegs than three! It's a good start. If it's little things that are the issues you're on the right track.

You can easily fix this though, it's not completely blown out. I really love her expression and the eyes. The hair is definitely messy, you can fix this in post as well, a lot of selections, cloning, and liquify would do wonders. It's a great start though.

xenilk posted:I like them, first one the posture makes her seem a little stiff / uncomfortable tho, especially because of her shoulders going way up. Ah, I definitely see what you mean. The railing was a bit high, for sure. Also, word? I'm not married to the idea of branding Facebook photos. I mean, I guess I don't REALLY need to since I'm posting them from my photography Facebook page. People'll still see "so and so shared Kneer Photography's photo". The only time I wouldn't be as visible would be when people make something their profile picture. I'm still kicking it around. Maybe if I get a mark that isn't hideous it'd be better. I am not a designer.

Yea, we couldnt decide between two crops. Theres that full one, and one cropped up to his collar (same aspect ratio), so its just enough space for both heads.

I like it with the empty space, kind of draws attention to it, like as if the ghost is the spirit of his past, and the empty space represents his future without that.

somnambulist posted:I'm sad this thread is on page 2. Bumping this with some portraits I always enjoy your portraits. Is that some subtle split toning? It looks very nice. To nitpick, the background on the second looks like it is gradienting, most obviously with a line about eye level. Great expressions, though.

So I work for a portrait studio called Picture People. They recently had a photo contest for the summer and one of my photos made it to the finals. Liking the image means you placed a vote for it. I would really appreciate help with the contest as I get a pretty big bonus for winning. And as always, if you would like to critique it go for it (post here, not on facebook). It is one of the better sittings I've had since I started working there 3 months ago and would love to see how I could improve. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151259102886804&set=a.10151250267901804.519519.121599011803&type=3&theater Edit: Also click if you want to see the world's happiest baby. rcman50166 fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Sep 24, 2012 |

I love the background but he's squinting his eyes and the frames of her glasses are sort of cutting across her eyes so I've rather lost eye contact with the pair of them. They also both look a bit forced in the pose department, her mouth for instance. Not sure what's going on there. But the background is making me jealous.
