Yup. Here's one.

Something between fashion and portaiture? (Portraitist shooting

would-be fashion designer.)

 

I liked the twist in her shoulders. Suggestions?

Hope it's not too late to continue this discussion, I didn't expect so many comments. First, thanks everyone for the comments and criticisms. Second - I'd like it if people liked my work but low ratings aren't going to hurt my ego.

 

I'm more inclined to post photos that almost but don't quite do it for me because I expect there's more I can learn from them than ones that I know are as good as I know how to make them. On reflection I'll need to start posting those so I can learn from the mistakes I can't see myself.

 

With regard to his head: I had one where I didn't cut his head, but I erased it because it didn't get his attitude quite as well, and I wanted that line down the middle to be unbroken. Having a few days away from this shot - I still like the line. If I had it to do over I'd try again with a higher cut and one that almost but doesn't quite cut his hat, about like his toe.

 

Space - I like the converging lines and the way it creates something that I could cut in half (break from the rule of thirds). I hate the statue sticking out behind his arm and the tree and building behind his elbows. I was worried about them when I shot but hoped it would be worth having things converge an balance evenly.

This is my third foray into TFCD. I'm better with portraits and I know

it, and have seen and shot enough in general to know this isn't quite

as good as I could do with a touch more patience.

 

This woman wants to be a fashion designer and also has a decent amount

of runway experience, but the shots I'm pleased with don't necessarily

take advantage of those talents.

 

Would she be better off having an "almost good" photo of her doing a

decent standard pose, or only the good photos that don't say much

about her own technique?

I like it.

Starting a series on odd gender stuff. He thinks the expression is

akward, I thought it was one of the few that got around his artifice.

Thoughts?

Not my usual thing, trying TFCD to get some portraits and figured I'd

play a little.

I like this one a lot. I'm curious how it would look with a full depth of field? Sort of thing I might easily see and then say "stick with the original" though.

That's quite a statement. I hope you're okay!

I really like the fact that this feels like a person's portrait rather than the usual "look at the animal, how odd that it has a face" feeling I often get. "Human Touch" is a good title. Thank you for sharing.

I really like the tones and texture in combination. His face looks a little flat around his cheek, I'm tempted to guess that's not an illusion. Regardless, it works well as an expression of his age and long working career. Great job!

Lost a wallet on a bus, didn't speak the language, but I had a friend

to help out. Not that much could be done on the phone. Too much

snapshot for a portfolio?
