I assisted the university photog today doing headshots of the football team (just basic stuff, setting up/breaking down, getting the names/order of everyone). As an unexpected bonus, the athletic department shoehorned the women's volleyball team in ahead of them. With the volleyball team he had a few of them in the room at a time, which made it go faster (they all saw the poses he wanted ahead of time) and put them more at ease. The football team was like herding cats, they dicked around, distracted each other, etc. So I'd say what I got out of it was "for single headshots of groups of people, shoot women with other women in the room, and probably do the guys one at a time". benisntfunny posted:I'd really hope so. For the sake of humanity that they don't actually bread. Used to be friends of mine; back when I would have and did shoot an engagement for free. This is all pretty funny, and a good lesson to for the rest of us. Pompous Rhombus fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Aug 15, 2009 |

jackpot posted:They won't inspire anyone to greatness or win any awards, but the client is happiest with the first one (me too) and a handful of others came out well. This is (potentially) to be used as the author's photo on a book jacket. It's not bad, but I'm not sure the "looking down at" perspective suits an author photo that well. They're all pretty tight shots, if you get a chance to shoot again you may want to try getting some wider ones, maybe a few environmentals and see if anything jumps out at you. If it's any consolation, I picked ten books off my shelf at random and only 1-2 of them were any better than a snapshot that the authors friend/wife/husband took.

Interrupting Moss posted:Bingo. You were not initially hired as a "Photographer." But, if you are not specific about this they will do their best (in my experience) to claim it was part of expanded and willful job duties. Yeah, that is how mine has worked. I never bothered trying to get the copyright as all the stuff I'm shooting is going online for free educational use anyways, which is a dealbreaker for stock agencies AFAIK. Nice for fleshing out my portfolio and getting away from a computer screen (plus paid travel), and I bring my rangefinder along to shoot pictures for myself nowadays.

BobTheCow posted:I don't know that this is really the right thread for this, but I need to vent somewhere. Huge group photos are a huge pain in the rear end. When that huge group is every sorority on campus, ten times so. Ugh. All I can think of is getting up on a really high ladder and using a T/S lens (or large format camera with movements) to move the focal plane to cover the sweep of the heads.

BobTheCow posted:There was a woman with me who was basically a handler, her sole job was to arrange them and get them all to shut the gently caress up for two seconds to let me take a photograph. That's still the best shot of like ten. Ugh. If you think sorority girls are bad, try college football players

Reichstag posted:Another day, another instant print. I am loving this stuff, however, I have run into a problem. I have no way to store them when 'in the field.' The print is particularly vulnerable to dust and smudging when it's freshly peeled, and I don't have anywhere to put it. Yeah, I know what you mean. I was tossing them into the empty space in my bag where the camera went (so they weren't getting crushed or anything), but it's still less than ideal. My idea is to take a tupperware or some other kind of plastic box and try to find a way to stick some septums in it, so I have slots to drop the individual prints/negs in (might cannibalize some of the busted wooden film holders I have laying around for the dividers). I think individual storage is best, because they're still a little wet/gooey from the developing and I don't like how stuff sticks together if left to its own devices. I guess Ziploc bags in a tupperware would work, but it seems kind of inelegant.

http://www.amazon.com/Fujicolor-Professional-Color-Instant-Film/dp/B0000B0ADI The holder (either a Fuji PA-45, or a Polaroid 550) is way overpriced at $125-175, but I eventually broke down and bought one.

AtomicManiac posted:On an unrelated note, What kind of poses give people the slimiest look? I tried putting them side-ways but it came out weird. I also feel weird yelling "Suck in your gut fatty!". Any tips for that? I've learned that I need to go over basics of posing with people, especially musicians who aren't going to have any knowledge of how to look best for the camera, though truth be told I only know a few tips to pass along. A cheap suit and a fake smile go a long way. If it's a guy, maybe a pedo-stache.

Santa is strapped posted:Haha yea. I like the shallow dof it creates (0 aperture after all) as well as the fact that you can make pseudo tilt shift effects too. That's just what your camera is reporting because it can't talk with the lens, the aperture is still the same. The apparently shallow DoF is from shifting the focal plane (pseudo tilt shift effect) you mention. That's real tilt/shift btw, you just aren't doing it systematically like you would with a dedicated T/S lens or a view camera. Nice portrait by the way!

AIIAZNSK8ER posted:This lady owns a bunch of local radio stations. Not to dog you on the backgrounds again, but the conclusion I draw from these photos is that she's the announcer for a shipyard. #2 and #3 also have hella reflections going on. It's a part of the office and she probably likes the view, but I would have just focused on the sound recording equipment and left the window out if possible.

So ~*~A GIRL~*~ I've been hanging out with lately asked if I'd take some graduation pictures for her. She's pretty out there as ladies go (does unspeakable things to rats in the Psych department for a living) and wants some atypical stuff, any suggestions?

 Did a paid headshot for a friend of a friend yesterday who is an engineer/travel writer, we were both happy with how it turned out (although I quietly sperged out about the subtle reflection in the right lens of his glasses when I got home). He originally wanted a B&W shot, but I included the color and low-saturation ones with it and he liked those better. I'm definitely going to pick up a copy of Silver Efex Pro before I leave my university later in the summer though. I'm pretty much a babby at off-camera lighting and posed portrait shooting, how do you guys feel about it? I'm leaning towards competent but nothing special. I definitely want to get some more experience with this before I move, even if it's just shits and giggles stuff for friends. I switched bags for my lighting equipment and left the head for my umbrella stand at home, but was able to improvise on-site with a briefcase on a shelf weighing down the umbrella Moist von Lipwig posted:What would the lighting setup for a shot like this be like? Haha, I know that shot (and that camera). covet covet

 Drinkwater, Eatphone by ethics_gradient, on Flickr I kinda wish I'd had him pose seriously, because I think the background elements for this shot work pretty well. Have to remember to bring my good camera with me next time we're at that restaurant.

Fart Car '97 posted:Yes, good to know, but in this case your skin tones are all overly saturated to an un-natural level of orange for any human that isn't spray tanned. Yeah they remind me of the portraits in my older (early-mid 2000's) Southeast Asia Lonely Planets where their photogs haven't figured out Velvia isn't a portrait film.
