Lighting Designer

Hi Everyone

 

I took some portraits of 20+ employees in one day and tried to show

them with a prop relating to their work as well as a portrait with

no prop. The client liked the pics but I would welcome some

feedback - I like this moody lighting and dark background but is it

too out of date?.

Nice shot. Out of date? I don't think so, although it does look like a Corbis or Getty image (stock shot companies). Is that good or not good?

First, congratulations on making the client happy. Second, yes I see what you mean about this being a style popular in the recent past (70's?), but it was popular because it pleased people. So go ahead and mix old school with new school to creat your own school. I like this shot too, the model looks really excited about showing viewers what he is holding; whatever it is.

I rather like it. While it is a bit of a throwback, there is a significant modern element to it which provides an appropriate balance. I'd like to see the whole set now that I've seen this. Tonally this s quite welcoming and acceptable, and would generate enough interst to have the viewer read the corporate words that were attached I'm sure.

Well Done.

Good job. I personally like the split lighting.
