I got bored and had to finish a roll of 120.  The dirtiest frame I've ever seen! No idea what happened to this particular shot, other frames are much cleaner.

Shameless crosspost from PAD. A friend popped over last minute and we messed around a bit with some lighting but I couldn't find my lightmeter so some spots are really uneven but it was fun and my first time using off camera with my MF camera. I asked her to come without showering/makeup so I could work on my post processing, I think I did okay!    Whoops I mean

CarrotFlowers posted:Couples shoot: Personal taste here but would you consider cloning out the buttons? They are very reflective/contrasty and pull the eyes away. Solid work though!

Initial thought: Nice! Second thought: What the hell did you do to her body? x-post from PAD These guys got married (eloped, courtroom)! This was directly after the marriage while walking to get some pizza and wine.   No control over location or time, kind of upset the top of her dress is so blown out.

Would recommend shopping out the wall corner off his head in the first photo and the vignette in the second. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the third but on first glance it looks cool. thetzar posted:
Very fun second photo, would recommend having him take off glasses or pop the glasses out the frame to avoid the break in his face.

TheAngryDrunk posted:Are you sure you're not overpowering the skylight already? F/9 ISO 50 and 1/200 seems pretty dark for indoors. I would think that kills the skylight, but maybe not. You can gel your lights to match the fluorescent, it fucks a little bit with colour temp. I would also recommend getting paper instead, cloth is a bitch. You should steam it if possible until then or just blast it with light to overexpose it.

Sludge Tank posted:Thanks. Thing is, I also want to play around a lot with a black backdrop and have 'darker' settings, so being able to completely block out & control the light would be great. The photo I posted was actually taken around 8pm after the sun had gone down and most of the ambient light was gone. If you blast that background with light from behind it will be fine (no halos). You could do a curves or exposure mask of the background and whiten it then do less touchup of creases if they are still there. Here is a SUPER QUICK very rough example. I did a curves layer on the bg, duplicated it then fiddled with opacity, then went ahead and curved the model as well. Took like 2 minutes including uploading. I'm sure you could do better if you took your time.  Anyway, the point is to shoot on paper. Edit: I couldn't resist.

I'm sure you get asked this all the time but what do you shoot on? I know you do your own developing, I would like to get to that point soon.

Just as an FYI - even after asking a client what kind of retouching they would like for their photos ask again. Especially Asian (especially Indian) clients with dark skin. It'll save you time and a headache.

Would've liked to see these shot at a narrower aperture to keep the entire body in focus. Bakewells2 in your flickr set would've definitely been improved with a larger depth of field IMO. I like to PP style though. My job was a bit more run of the mill. He wanted lots of PP but refused to smile because of his chipped teeth that I told him no one really cares about.

NoneMoreNegative posted:I think the couple shots of the bloke could at least go somewhere with some directional light, a bit grease on his wifebeater and face, some vignette etc in post. At least stick a wrench in his hand, for gods sake Don't forget the look of "surprise". Good as a portrait, fun idea. I would maybe retouch the back of her thigh and d/b her skin to match tones overall. Do you have this any wider at all? My turn:

RangerScum posted: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! 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.

sildargod posted:I was asked to shoot a friend's makeup again for portfolio work. I had loaned my gear to another friend who needed to shoot a music video so declined. The lady with the makeup said I could use her camera, and asked nicely so I landed up doing the shoot. In terms of critique - too many different sources of light/reflection and thus differing color casts. :/ For makeup usually there is a want for color to be uniform throughout. There are also a lot of shadow and hair obscuring her work.

Dr. Shockwave posted:So last night there was this 'meet and greet' of local photographers. Really awesome concept. They hired a model and let like 20 of us take her picture all at the same time. One model for TWENTY photographers? What the hell is the use? Even having three or four would have been infinitely better.

smallmouth posted:I shot with my first model today. Any comments are welcome. Pretty much the same pose in every shot, same facial expression (I struggle with that and new models). The photos may show the model but it doesn't seem like they feature her if that makes sense. Random summer stuff    Too busy?

Dren posted:Speaking of backdrops what do people use? I bought a medium gray muslin and a stand for it. It was wrinkly as poo poo and I read you can't iron them so I got the cheapest steam cleaner Target had and steamed it out. It's pretty good now. I never managed to find any official wisdom regarding muslins. Is what I did a normal thing? Muslins suck, get paper. That is horrifying.

Sometimes generic and contrived lighting is okay if that's what the client wants.
