8th-snype posted:So would a concept beyond "quirky pose" Ansel here notwithstanding, this is an extremely good point. This shoot in particular was more pointless than normal even for me; I just found a model in the area I was visiting family in because I wanted to shoot. I didn't have any concept or ideas behind it, I just wanted to shoot. I figured I'd just call it practice. The more I do this, the more I realize that photography is easy, having a reason behind it is hard. When I try to come up with something, it feels forced and fake. I need to find more interesting people to take pictures of. Also, I need to find a more interesting person to take the photos.

I really dig this, but I keep going back and forth with how I feel about how shiny her face is. I'm trying to guess the lighting. I broad hairlight, and a gridded or snooted spot? I'm assuming the cig smoke is edited in. It looks... small?

Paragon8 posted:what are you trying to show with a wide portrait composition. the background is really boring and way too much in focus. you can make mundane street stuff look good with aggressive depth of field to abstract it. akadajet posted:The cropped one feels like a better composition looks a bit soft to me. Overcropped? I liked the wider crop for the environment; it might not be the most interesting in the world, but I liked having at least a bit. Sadly, it does look like the focus was off a bit on the tighter crop (though I think it's good on the wider one). I'm starting to think that I'm having focus problems that aren't just my fault; need to start shooting some targets to see if it's the glass or me. big scary monsters posted:Did you touch up her eyes/eyebrows in the first one, because they look a bit weird and smudgy. I think the wider shot is better though. Nope, no retouching.

I don't know what's going on any more. I mean, I didn't before, but I still don't. Verman: What up, design bro? AAaanyway, I hosed up many, many things on this day of the shoot. Like this shot, for example. Under absolutely no circumstances should it have been shot at f2.8. But that's what my stupid brain did.  Untitled by Jason Martin, on Flickr

I think this photo is great. I also think that is is incredibly awkward — the unsymmetry of her feet, the cutoff at her knees, the crooked bedsheet. I hope that's what you were going for.

Huxley posted:I don't know about deadpan but I am pretty familiar with the look you did get ☺️ I, too, get that face from her all the time. Sepia is a phase every photographer goes through. Soon it will pass, replaced by a short flirtation with platinum-print emulation. Somewhere in there is toying around with grunge brushes and blurs and other aging effects. Then you learn to love true black and white, dismiss the gimmickry for what it is, and try to forget about that end of your flickr stream.

elgarbo posted:It's more than a little condescending to lump Sludge Tank - a dude who does a whole lot of actual wet plate work and alternative processes - alongside beginner photographers who are going through a sepia phase and emulating alternative processes with grunge brushes. I know nothing about Sludge Tank's wet plate work. I saw a photo that was rendered sepia in post, and commented in turn. Actual wet plate is awesome. Fake sepia almost never is. This example included.

8th-snype posted:Did you heavily retouch the cheeks of the first one? It looks like there's a weirdly out of place blurry zone, that I probably wouldn't have noticed except I was looking intently. The second two are a bit heavy handed. What technique are you using to smooth skin? Try varying the opacity of the layer your retouches are on to let some of the natural texture show through, it makes it look more natural. Thank you for the feedback! On the first one I tried to bring out her freckles a bit on the cheeks (overblushing them in the process), but I didn't do any smoothing that should have caused a blurry area. Where do you see that? There's a bit on her forehead, but that's because I had my depth of field a bit too narrow to catch it all. On the last two, I did some frequency separation (still getting used to that). She actually really had, through genetics and makeup, very smooth skin. Most of what I was trying to smooth there was at the high frequency level though, which I think I might have overworked, pausing any placisity you see. I'm trying to find the right balance to let some texture, but not too much show through. Good idea about the opacity mixing.

8th-snype posted:Right here: Right! I just went and looked at the raw file from before the edits to double-check this. I didn't soften or blur that area at all. It's not DOF, it's just a very low-contrast and smooth-skinned part of her face... which probably stands out more because I DID selectively sharpen her eyes, cheekbones and nose. Here's a sample from the file after B+W conversion, but before anything went into photoshop:  Unrealtedly, here's another shot from the same model. Took a lighter touch with this one.

Yes, TheAngryDrunk's photograph was vapid. But drat. So are most photographs. IMHO (Hey guys, remember when we used to say IMHO?), the photograph has the old woman-as-an-object problem, but is drawing hate because it's woman-as-an-object without a reason for it. There's no story being told here. There's a really hot woman barefoot on a suitcase on a road. But she hasn't walked there. There's no broken car. Why is she barefoot? WHY IS SHE SITTING LIKE THAT? It could be stock but even if it were stock: Who would buy it? What story can that photograph possibly illustrate? What emotion could it possibly convey or elicit? Anyway, here's some more stupid photography:  Let me help you with that. by Jason Martin, on Flickr
