I think the bottom photo is stunning, but the noise is quite terrible in the bottom-left and under her jaw. It looks great and adds to the photo otherwise throughout.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
Took some of a friend of mine. I like the wild hair on the first one, but I need to get better at cloning to fix the errant strands in the second.

I really, really like the first one. I really, really dislike the second.

The first has great contrast, an intense look, and a good use of depth of field. It feels dynamic and raw. She looks dangerous, and it's great.

The second shot, though, just seems meh in comparison. She's extremely yellow, and the shadow of her hair on her face hives her a very oval look, which I don't think does her any favors. It just seems... drab.


And now... gels!

I did some more headshots. I decided to go a little more extreme with the processing, does anyone think it's distasteful?

It's meant to be - by placing the lantern slightly below her face I get both a kicker and a bit of horror lighting.

What's up with the skin tones on her calf? It also looks like there is a line extending from the corner of her mouth out across her face... and her skin is kind of yellowish near where her left leg meets her shorts. Otherwise, I like!

I like that, it's strangely intriguing. The crazy amount of head room does it for me, I don't know why though.

Other than the little bit of yellow I don't see any of what you're seeing?

I like it too though!

Model showed up late and forgot to finish her makeup and had to do it in a car -_-;;;;;;; The thing on her cheek is a Taurus sign. I think I will photoshop it out if I use for my site but haven't decided yet. I also may adopt a policy of chopping off the hands of models who wear hairties on their wrists after I ask them to remove.

I think the yellow is just from the light coming through her shorts, it's nothing glaring but eh, I noticed it. The bit around the mouth isn't too visible at this size, but I didn't pixel peep the image and it was still noticeable.



I do like the photo though, just a couple quick things to make it better.

I like the sort-of-ambiguous setting here. I also like how it's closing him in, but not crowding him in. It's a nice picture.

As always there's a real sense of unease with this that I find really compelling. The composition feels a little unbalanced with only one corner being black but I guess that's a result of the process.

Both good but really digging the first one. The eyes are kind of lost in the second shot.


DSCF2874-5 by Paul Hofreiter, on Flickr

I have been trying to practice post work on non ideal lighting situations for when they inevitably happen to me, so I sat my daughter down in front of a screen window with the light behind her to put a shadow right on her face. I don't know if I went too far with the processing - I wanted to try to keep it looking fairly natural and not like I was just trying to recover a bad shot.

sw1gger posted:

Quick thing that I noticed that happens to me sometimes too (but you might be ok with) - it is a bit oversaturated around the ear. It is an easy fix if it bothers you. I like it otherwise - I might have been tempted to tame the neck texture a little bit.

Too much eyes. There's also a bunch of blown out pixels on the shirt - bring down the saturation in the reds (and probably overall).

I was going back and forth on the eyes for a while - I probably should have waited until tomorrow to look at it fresh. You are right, thanks.

Please don't think you need to edit out shadows caused by the light or minor skin tone variations. That's part of the deal with shooting outside and what makes location shots more interesting.

My only stylistic criticism would be that unless the scenery is as pretty as the girl, you should be filling the frame with her as much as possible. Tighten up the framing unless you have a reason to show background or location.

Right, while I do appreciate all the feedback, I didn't have the intention to retouch shadows. I agree a tighter crop might be better.

I really enjoy how you've burned the outside edges of the frame, so it almost feels like she's emerging from the frame at bottom. That hand pose is also unsettling, along with all the darkness. Nice job!
