Great feedback! It was definitely hot (95 or so). I'll see what I can do about the sweat. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

The blue makeup is a weeee bit distracting, but it's not bad or anything, just a preference.I was setting up a photo booth for a company mixer and I took these. I'm really happy with them.  amy2 by francography, on Flickr  amy1 by francography, on Flickr

I do feel like the sand is a little too blown out though, like clean it up completely, or give it more definition. The water/waterline background right behind her head is really nice and brings the attention right to her face, which is also a great expression.

Yeah, the sand is blown out, but I'm okay with it. I exposed for her skin and was able to bring back some detail in the sky and water. The sand...meh.

I did some actor's headshots for a friend of mine. The rest are fairly boring (to me) GAP ad style and corny, because I prefer working with much more serious looks and moodier lighting. I can't decide if I need a third light to blast the background to white, or if I should go with a black background.

Yeah, I think if you had a reflector on the right to bring up the shadows just a touch, you could get that dramatic split lighting look without almost blowing out the left.

I apologise in advance for the low effort post, but I've been shooting all week all over London and I am now ready to go to bed on a Friday night at 10pm. I am a party machine. Here, have a scary promo photo of a pro wrestler.  Click here for silly big silly detail then try and look away.

I wasn't sure where to post this photo, so I guess i'll post it in the portrait thread. I had the opportunity to see the president speak in los angeles, and I really wanted the flag to take up most of the frame. 351B4158 by francography, on Flickr

I think the little flag is the only weakpoint, it just seems a bit too overexposed. not sure if you could burn it at all or crop it out?

I've been out of it for a while but a couple recent shoots are helping me to get back into a shooting mindset again. Mikey by Myotomy, on Flickr  Chris by Myotomy, on Flickr  Untitled by Myotomy, on Flickr  Untitled by Myotomy, on Flickr Nothing fancy but at least I don't hate them with a passion. Some of the focus isn't even top notch but we didn't really care at the time and the imperfection grew on me a bit. RangerScum fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Oct 11, 2012 |

For me it looks fine except for the eyes, where the post (possibly combined with Flickr's downsampling) is wigging me out. That being said, full size doesn't look nearly as overbaked as the Flickr-resized ones make it seem.

Recently contacted by a couple wanting to spruce up their modeling/promotional portfolios:   The shoot overall was really sloppy (no assistant, only an hour to work with, on-location with the studio lights, etc). Plus they picked their outfits/location. If I had known she was going to be dressed in leather, I would have told her not to meet me at a fricken' beach.

I like the balanced lighting, the processing is at the limit of being 'over the line'. Good stuff. RangerScum posted:I've been out of it for a while but a couple recent shoots are helping me to get back into a shooting mindset again. These two are my favourites, I just wish (as was already stated) that the clarity slider wasn't pushed all the way to the right. The lighting is great though - I like the overexposed look.

After totally refusing flash photography for like my whole life, I finally went and got a speedlight - I got a BGN 580exII from KEH. I'm just starting out learning how to use it. For this picture, I had the flash laying on top of the TV to the left - wireless triggered by the built-in flash. EDIT: yes, the vignetting is fake. 0toShifty fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Oct 13, 2012 |

Looks like you shot that wide open or close to it. There's something funny about your focus. It looks like her sweater on her shoulder is tack sharp, as well as her nose, but her eyes not so much. I can't tell if it's because of her glasses but they don't look sharp to me, and that's pretty much a requisite for this type of shot. Her mouth/teeth look a bit blurred as well. I like how her eyes are filling out the tops of her glasses and it could be making for an interesting shot, but I think the background is a bit too busy and suffers from too many technical issues to make the cut.

I understand what you were trying to accomplish in the second picture but it feels butched. First it totally miss the point of focusing on the texture of what you're putting between the model and the camera and second the window's division is right behind her head and the house in the background adds nothing. I would suggest that you redo it with a different angle and maybe closer to her so that way the focus is on her and not on the surroundings.
