I did a shoot with a girl from Model Mayhem yesterday. The first model I have met on there that actually showed up.     Had a blast learned some good locations in my new city.

Pompous Rhombus posted:I'm not sure about the flare/lack of contrast on the subject in the first and last ones. It looks like you shot mostly in harsh, direct sunlight? Yes we shot around 4 to 5 in the afternoon and the sun was wicked harsh. I just kinda ran with it and experimented with flare. I like the way they ended up.

Hot Cops posted:I think that one would be perfect with a white reflector thrown in the mix. I really could have used someone there to hold reflectors. Luckily once a few of my friends volunteered to assist me in the future. I told them as long as they don't oogle the models too much they are welcome.

This is why I only break out the deep "meaning of my art" speeches if I'm trying to pick up girls in bars. Gary Winogrand had the right idea when he said "I photograph to see what something will look like photographed".

This is pretty decent guide to lighting and retouching people. http://www.amazon.com/Skin-Complete-Digitally-Photographing-Retouching/dp/0470592125/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1326159723&sr=1-1 If you general photo science metering just read The Exposure by Ansel Adams and you will learn more than you will ever need to know.

Frankly I don't use model release for TFCD shoots. I just explain to the models that without written permission from the other party neither of us can sell unreleased images. Since the shoot is just for my portfolio it really doesn't matter.

McMadCow posted:I have mixed feelings on this one so I'm putting it to the Dorkroom for some insight. She looks kind of disembodied in that pose with the white cloth draped over the branch. It just looks kind of awkward to me, like she is twisting her body into in a weird way. I think it would have worked better with a lighter top or without that white cloth on the branch.

Upgrading your digital body will in fact increase the quality of your photo in an objective way. Think of it like using newer film stock, Portra 400 is sharper and finer grained than older Portra. Higher quality capture medium doesn't make a photo any better subjectively than one taken on older stuff but it will be sharper and higher resolution.

McMadCow posted:Honestly it's far less metaphorical than that. I actually like it as a physical signature of the process. It will also let plebes know that your camera is better than theirs, now that you are part of the Hasselkrew.  (Note to poors: Hasselblad backs have little vee notches cut into the film frames so that we know who is cool and who is not. Get on our level Leica.)

Elite Taco posted:Only if we can have a thread dedicated to different post treatments of the goat man. The subtle "selenium" split toning you have done here really shows us the conflicted nature of a man that would show his colon to the entire world this way. I don't care for the blur added to the background it removes us from the grotesqueness of the scene and sterilizes the moment too much for my taste. HOW DARE YOU PHOTOSHOP OUT THE RING, don't you understand that that ring is the entirety of the message behind Goatse? Without that it's just a guy and his genitals being presented to us, we have no frame of reference. 8th-snype fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Dec 29, 2012 |

NoneMoreNegative posted:I have hella Roast Beef style depression, so haven't even looked at my camera for ages; however, I decided to get off my rear end and cover for the local burly troupe when their main photo guy took ill today - Busy importing and building 1:1 previews of 1055 shots in LR, but this early shot of the compere and one of the guest artistes cheered me a bit: In the future I would toss a color temp orange gel on there and WB for tungsten so the background doesn't have that gross cast. I keep CTO gels permanently velcroed to the sides of my speedlights because they are that useful.

McMadCow posted:The second one is really nice, with nice lighting. It's slightly flat in its tones though, and could possibly benefit from a burn from the bottom up in order to bring the focus back to your subject's face. I have a fetish for crazy burns though, so take it as a completely personal suggesting. It's still a nicely executed shot. I really dig the way the 180mm Xenar draws people at wider apertures. I like my B&W a little flatter than most people so I didn't really mess with the contrast at all, there is probably a little flare in there from shooting into the light with a 40 year old lens at f/5.6.

I told her I wanted a casual look, see how she's dressed? We were in a park, on a hill, in Jan so basically I could only shoot on the sidewalk. It was not ideal. She kept complaining about how cold she was, I just reminded her that I didn't pick the outfit.

Tricerapowerbottom posted:I looked closer and am thinking that he is probably standing in front of an intensely lit, light colored landscape (after all, these were taken in situ in parts of Africa and India). The illumination in their eyes would be hard to recreate outdoors in Seattle, which is only the color of clouds, trees, and pretension. You just have to pick your shooting days a little better in Seattle but you can get a ton of mileage out of a reflector here even on dull days. It might be gray and lovely here most of the time but gently caress me if the good days don't blow away the east coast for awesome light.

Whelp, I am also in the "slightly out of focus LF portraits" club. I got way too ambitious with my aperture for shooting a nonmodel. I am fairly happy with these two though. 20140311-005-web by 8th-samurai, on Flickr  20140311-004-web by 8th-samurai, on Flickr

The color one is much better. The pose is nicer, the light is better on the subject, and the color actually adds interest to the setting. The B&W one does have that cool juxtaposed joker head going for it though.

So we moved fast, and decided to see how insane of a look we could get. I Have No Neck, and I Must Leer. I think it works okay in the first and last one, but that 3/4 shot just looks awkward.

notlodar posted:There is something about these that feels like a missed moment, I think it's her expression. Or I am just projecting because it's the same face my girlfriend makes 95% of the time when I photograph her. She hired me to take some headshots and didn't mention how uncomfortable getting her photo taken was for her until we were on location. I'm pretty happy with what we got.

Huxley posted:Which filter (pack?) is that bottom one? Since I don't shoot for money it's hard to justify spending on VSCO but I really like that treatment. Very nice. Film 01. That's the Portra 800++ filter slightly tweaked. I like that pack because anytime I'm unhappy with Fuji's built in film simulation Portra is probably what I want.

1st AD posted:Do the Lightroom presets correspond to presets on the iOS app? There's a few I really like but they're named differently in the app and I don't want to throw that much cash without knowing what I'm getting. I like A6, M3, M5, and HB6. Not at all. The LR presets are film simulations first and foremost. I got the Portra one because I know I like the palette.
