I've started to mess around with external flashes, borrowed from my school library. Shot my roommates and sister a bit, this is the best picture I feel I came out with. Any critique or comments are welcome. Zach by dshenphotos, on Flickr

Yea, that white pillar on the right, making it clear that its not level. And pretty dark and otherwise boring. Ok, more background attention, thanks! edit: Anything else that I'm just missing?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more interesting backgrounds for portraits. This past weekend was mostly for me to get used to working with external flash. Is there anything notably bad/annoying on the lighting on my subject look ok in that photo? I was using a reflective umbrella to the camera's left for key, and ambient from a window off frame on camera right to fill the shadow.

It's just normal mostly flat lighting... the exposure is okay overall but that's nothing to write home about. I personally think it'd look better if the exposure was even across the face. If you're trying to get used to using external lighting then imo you shouldn't try to use more than 1 modifier / source at first.

Yea, put your camera in M, ISO 100, shutter 1/200 and then go hog wild with the aperture and flash settings. The shutter speed will make it so only the light from your flash is recorded. Now you are in control.

 Lindsey by Sheep Photo, on Flickr I tried to go for processing that made the photo feel wintery? I can't help but feel her skin looks a little dead. She is already fair skinned as it is... How would you guys resolve this?

You can use a selective color adjustment layer to lighten up the reds and magenta so they don't contrast so much with the pasty skin.

Processing looks good, I think her blush needs a little fixing personally but otherwise the photo is good.

Skin is fine. Her facial expression looks like she feels uncomfortable/awkward. Like she's halfway between trying to smile or look serious and isn't sure which she should be doing.

Is there a tactful way to tell subjects to take it easy with the makeup besides hiring a makeup artist? It's not the first time I have ran into this. mr. mephistopheles posted:Skin is fine.

I actually don't mind the color myself, but I think she applied it kind of weird and it's doing weird things to the contours of her cheeks.

I really like the first one. It's warm but not all-yellow thanks to the blue sky. It's a portrait of an atmosphere, and it works. It is a bit look-at-this-belly, but that's fine too. The second shot seems a bit awkwardly posed to me. The composition is great, the exposure nice, but the model just seems to be in an awkward part of her spin. Her hand is a little claw-like there.

Picked up a camera for the first time in months over Christmas.   I'm way out of practice with my P6, so many shots where I've just missed focus. Nobody will notice on Facebook, but I do and it hurts me.

Hey guys, used to post a decent amount in the Dorkroom but I kind of fell into hibernation for a while, I'm thinking I should probably put an end to that. I used to mainly shoot urbex and nature stuff, but I recently moved to NYC and figured that if I was gonna start shooting portraiture seriously that now is the time. Got to the city with not much in my port but I ground out Model Mayhem models for a while and now I'm getting to the point where I'm working with agency models. I know the next step is getting a regular team together here but I'll be damned if it isn't difficult. I'll start with a general question, what do you guys think of really stylized portraits (shooting through things, dragging the shutter, intentionally blurry shots, etc.)? I know that agencies like cleaner stuff and it's pretty much a no no in fashion unless it's really really well done, but I'm a total sucker for it. I'm assuming it's more of a matter of execution, but will having stuff like this really hinder me as long as I demonstrate I can shoot really solid normal poo poo as well? Some examples:  Untitled by audiesumaray, on Flickr Untitled by audiesumaray, on Flickr Untitled by audiesumaray, on Flickr Untitled by audiesumaray, on Flickr

Some examples: I love that stuff. Just know your audience. Yes, they might not find their way on an agency board, but there is a demand magazine editorials. Plus, it's a lot more creative and fun than shooting boring poo poo that will go on an agency board.

I guess that's the benefit of being a glorified hobbyist, complete creative control since I don't rely on photography as a main source of income. My stuff just looks pretty different from a lot of the other photographers I'm following and seeing pop up in my social media, so I hope it comes off as interesting and not like it's amateur hour in here. iSheep posted:I love that first photo and I demand you tell me how you accomplished it. All the photos except the third one were shot through a little plastic prism I got off amazon, you can get all kinds of crazy stuff shooting through random things in different kinds of light.
