Huxley posted:It's a little unexpected. It's a very standard portrait, his posture, the positioning, the cropping, the exposure. Everything about it is handled like I would expect there to be a smile there, except there is a weird robot face. thanks, definitely appreciate the comments. here is a related "cutting" pic since you had mentioned welding

The plain shirt does a nice texture contrast with the shiny metal sides of the mask

This is good but could probably do with some cropping / re-framing etc - I know what the subject of the picture is, but the thing that I keep looking at is the two clamps in the foreground. They do look really goddamn nice, but I barely even notice the dude's face. e: Maybe it's because his clothes blend into the background a bit?

The contrast does a great job of conveying the setting of this photo but the composition of the model is a bit haphazard. There are very few "rules" I would quote at people but honestly not placing the edge of a frame through a model's joint is one of them. The extremely prominent cutting off of her arm at the wrist in the foreground is off putting and doesn't jive with the rest of the photo or your over all body of work. Edges and corners, get better at paying attention what's in them.

Yeah about a stop of fill on the shadow side would return some of the symmetry to her face. It just looks jarring to have a straight on pose like that and the lighting be so asymmetrical. You could uncrush the blacks a bit in post and probably accomplish the same thing, not sure how in love you are with that VSCO look. I have the same problem when I run something through the Portra 400VC filter in LR, I have to either light with it in mind or mess with the shadows/black slider.

There's one band (not a good band, not a famous band, in fact I can't even remember their name) who have a shitload of whiskey on their rider but we had to eventually start telling them we were only gonna give them the big bottle after the show was over, and they'd just get a handle of the cheap stuff pre-show. Well, then a year later we just told them to gently caress off and buy their own booze, and they didn't complain.

They also frequently don't realize that people are just going to ignore all their dumb diva poo poo, which they'll just accept and not talk about it, because they're not gonna forfeit the take from a show over how much whiskey is in the dressing room. At least not anymore, maybe back in the day, but most bands have been humbled pretty good. Probably because unless you're the biggest rock star in the world, there's more than enough on the other end of the contract to dick you out of getting paid for performing if you decide to get in a pissing match with the venue. "The booze in the dressing room wasn't in an ice bucket as specified in the contract? Well, your 43-minute first set wasn't 45 minutes as specified in the contract either."

I remember hearing the really huge bands do it as a way of making sure everything gets done properly at their gigs, like so they don't get killed by a falling light rig or whatever.

Yeah that's what I was referring to as well like if you see a bowl of yellow m&ms you know that they actually read the thing versus skimming it and missing something important like electrical bullshit. Not actually about diva poo poo at all Was it a "this american life" story and wasn't the band van Halen?

Not actually about diva poo poo at all I just read about this very thing in the Think like a Freak book. They trashed the dressing rooms which didn't read the entire thing because they actually spent a lot of effort to calculate the safety parameters of their gigs.

If only there was a middle ground, like "Hey, we read your rider and saw that thing about needing xyz electrical things for your lights. That's taken care of. We also saw that you wanted us to spend hours sorting candy, and we're not going to do that because that's insane."

Well, at least, my job is to tell management what the artist is and isn't getting, and it's their job to dry the big rock star's inevitable tears with the finest silk or something.

Stage crew: "Tell those shitcock fuckweeds that the day I sort out M&Ms or what the gently caress ever into color coded bowls, is the day I brush my teeth with a 12 gauge. If they bitch please advise them I can and will make their vocals sound like they have been detesticled at random intervals during the show. Now if you will excuse me I have to go regel all the lights to make it look their livers have swollen to the size of Jupiter in the promo pics." Manager Translation: "The stage crew is working really hard to make sure everything goes off without a hitch tonight. As consummate professionals I have the utmost faith in them, but sadly there is not enough time to facilitate your request that we fill a bathtub with unwrapped watermelon Jolly Ranchers. I do apologize for this inconvenience."
