johhnyvesper 0 Posted November 27, 2012 First attempt at a self nude, wanting feedback from photographers to tell me what is good and what is bad and where I can improve. Photography is a new hobby for me, I love learning and desire to grow as a photographer. Link to comment
savagesax 3 Posted November 27, 2012 turn off the TV! Darken the background. I don't like the wrinkled sheet, but I'm not sure what to do. Maybe a dark background would work. Your THING is too dark, can't see the detail. Work on the lighting. by adding a side light maybe. The pose was decent and interesting. Adding the chest makes you look like you are proud and keep fit. savagesax@aol.com bob Link to comment
gsphotoguy 3 Posted November 28, 2012 I do agree that the TV is an odd element in the composition. Its inclusion makes me wonder if there is not a more sexual message here then originally obvious. There is a bit of mystery related to what program is on and how that relates to your being naked in bed. I like the look of the sheets and how they relate to the form of your penis. A good first effort, keep at it, Johnny. Link to comment
wmc718 3 Posted November 28, 2012 I pretty much agree with all the assessments here Johnny. I do think the back ground would have been much better as a plain wall. You don't want your viewer's eyes drawn to the TV and other background components, which they are.Like Mark, I like the sheet arrangement... all that is fine. I think you needed just a pinch more "sculpture" on your penis, which would add some depth and interest. This can be accomplished with reflectors, or even turning your body for better light and shadow from the sunlight coming in. Here, you just kind of have a dark blob sitting there.Keep it up... photography is a lifelong lesson! Link to comment
