triplexpac posted:I've never worked with more than one strobe before. Do people generally mix the continuous & strobes in one shoot? You'd need a pretty slow shutter speed for that, right? It sucks and you should probably try not to do it. I mean you totally can but you may find yourself unable to avoid suicide.

VendaGoat posted:Yes, the father makes it. The look on his face! This seriously isn't making fun of what I think is a good photograph, but it's hilarious. The father is like "aw yeeeeah", the mother is like "OH HAROLD" and the wife is like "sup from down here in the chill zone" Maybe the only tiny, barely-worth-mentioning gripe I have is that it'd be nice if it was SLIGHTLY taller, so you can see what they're sitting/standing on. I can't remember the name of the dude you're ripping off, but you're doing a very good job of it. That was a compliment, I just can't remember who this style reminds me of.

It's a lot easier when you already know the model. *fiddle around with gear* "Ok, here we go, uh..." "Could you..." "TITTY SPRINKLES." *machinegun fifty frames that will probably be the best of the day*

poo poo like this has landed me more deliverable headshots than any legit direction I've given. Not that I couldn't pull it off without doing poo poo like this, but if you're taking pictures of a person, and you're more than 10 minutes in and you're not both laughing, you hosed something up. It's supposed to be fun.

This also is somewhat my jam, except, as weird as it sounds, I might prefer it without the model (obviously not as a portrait in that case, but you know what I mean). It's a great scene as-is.

Pukestain Pal posted:Not 100% sure I'm thrilled with this, but it gave me a chance to mess with frequency separation a bit. Fun to mess with. The lighting's not bad, but the cut-off out of focus highlights make it seem like there's an invisible black box behind her head or something, if that makes any sense.

The lighting is not doing her any favours in these two, and making the lighting work is your job. The ones after this were way less bad though.

Wooten posted:I don't choose my client's clothes or the locations that they want photos taken. A lot of complaining in this thread from people who live and breathe shooting for the AP wire. It was one photo I liked from a shoot that included many photos. The background is actually slightly overexposed and I usually shoot in natural light and balance with flash but a literal idiot who shoots for a WIRE SERVICE said that sucked too. I guess I'll WIRE SERVICE. gently caress this thread, half of you AP WIRE AP WIRE AP WIRE.

Yeah the lighting is loving top-notch, and I can't imagine it working very well without really good lighting. We're just gonna assume that by "Terry Richardson style" you mean direct on-camera flash, and yeah, this would not have looked good like that.

30hz posted:thanks, definitely appreciate the comments. This is good but could probably do with some cropping / re-framing etc - I know what the subject of the picture is, but the thing that I keep looking at is the two clamps in the foreground. They do look really goddamn nice, but I barely even notice the dude's face. e: Maybe it's because his clothes blend into the background a bit?

voodoorootbeer posted:The most metal beer to put on your rider is the one that's guaranteed to be skunked. Jesus christ don't get me started on riders. There's one band (not a good band, not a famous band, in fact I can't even remember their name) who have a shitload of whiskey on their rider but we had to eventually start telling them we were only gonna give them the big bottle after the show was over, and they'd just get a handle of the cheap stuff pre-show. Well, then a year later we just told them to gently caress off and buy their own booze, and they didn't complain.

Verman posted:I don't even think that most bands understand the point of putting eccentric poo poo into riders other than dick waving their celebrity status. They also frequently don't realize that people are just going to ignore all their dumb diva poo poo, which they'll just accept and not talk about it, because they're not gonna forfeit the take from a show over how much whiskey is in the dressing room. At least not anymore, maybe back in the day, but most bands have been humbled pretty good. Probably because unless you're the biggest rock star in the world, there's more than enough on the other end of the contract to dick you out of getting paid for performing if you decide to get in a pissing match with the venue. "The booze in the dressing room wasn't in an ice bucket as specified in the contract? Well, your 43-minute first set wasn't 45 minutes as specified in the contract either."

dakana posted:If only there was a middle ground, like "Hey, we read your rider and saw that thing about needing xyz electrical things for your lights. That's taken care of. We also saw that you wanted us to spend hours sorting candy, and we're not going to do that because that's insane." This is literally my job. Well, at least, my job is to tell management what the artist is and isn't getting, and it's their job to dry the big rock star's inevitable tears with the finest silk or something.
