poo poo, I just came back to the thread and I don't remember. I think it was Halie maybe. If so she's really chill and easy to work with.

I took my first foray into Non Wrestling portraits the other days and had a bit of a fun testing day with a friend (who hadn't modelled for a year) I wasn't looking to make anything artsy or with meaning but whatever. Stacey Bokeh by bang3rachi, on Flickr  Stacey Bokeh by bang3rachi, on Flickr The background was pretty busy (some boards covered in alfoil) so we tried some on some black muslin  Stacey Dramatic by bang3rachi, on Flickr I've got an awful lot to learn but it was fun.

They're certainly sharp. If you're not going for art or meaning then you should probably be going for beauty and they're not particularly flattering. I kind of like the third one, though. It has kind of an unsettling "haunted painting" vibe to it that is cool. The other two, meh, nothing is really meshing between her expression, the poses and the lighting

Yeah honestly the first two were mainly tests shots to see if the background worked so it's nothing serious, and I like the sharpness on the third but I didn't add any in post except for a tiny bit of clarity. It was our first time shooting together as well so hopefully we'll mesh and get some proper stuff going. (I'm usually bloody concerned with things not being sharp enough!)

What are you doing to make them so sharp ? Is it mostly post? I like the second in particular.

Honestly all I did was bump up the sharpness and clarity a tiny bit in LR, and was hovering around F2-3.2 during the shoot so maybe it's the extra sharpening from flickr that's doing it.

Sharpness, or rather excessive detail, can also get a big boost from using harder vs softer lighting. I definitely don't think you should have increased the sharpness at all in post.

Her pores have bright highlights and deep shadows, as well as the small hairs on her face are lit up. You will have to dodge&burn each of these slightly to soften her face up. Also remember that the clarity slider can be very harsh, even when making the smallest adjustments.

Thanks for the feedback guys I'll have a play around with the other photos and see if I can soften it a bit (I am kind of a fan of lots of detail but eh) I'm not super used to using soft lighting yet with what I usually shoot.

evil_bunnY posted:Why'd you leave that much headroom while almost cutting her fingers off? I was shooting with a prime and she was moving around and "broke" the framing. If I see something I like, sometimes I just take a shot rather than saying, "Hold that there." Then I have to back up and hope I still have the same shot. A zoom lens would have been handy at the time. There's a lot about the photo I like, but the composition sucks.

bobmarleysghost posted:Got frisky with Chester, namean Yeah, fair enough. His ears are a bit redder, and the greed color hosed with that a lot; but I tried to pull the color of his skin a bit back to normal and faded it to the ears. I'll try to tweak it later.

Background: Shadow to light Subject: light to shadow That would have been a much trickier lighting setup. Just thinking out loud here.

What you're basically saying is that your brain can't reconcile the colour of the subject's face with his environment?? Like, is it off putting when people under incandescent lights look orange?

It doesn't have to be an "issue", the artist may simply be making a creative choice like I believe this guy has done. It is essentially like having two different color lights in a scene.

The *scene* is green, so why would it be weird that objects look green in green light? I mean fair enough if you just don't like the green lighting, but taking issue with the skin tone in this case doesn't make sense. It would like completely out of whack if his skin tone looked like what it looks like in white lighting when the room is bouncing green light everywhere.
