    Why some studio portrait are so terrible?

    in Portraits & Fashion

    Posted

    Hello!

     

    I often stubmle upon on photography, sometimes made by beginners, sometimes full time photographers, that look just terrible.

     

    There is example number one - Magdalena Grycza Make Up Artist & Stylist

     

    And there are plenty of more examples - FOTOGRAF | Paulina Lupa

     

    And i always thought that this must be mostly about the lighting, that is too hard and too flat, and partially about the post-processing.

     

    However, right now I'm watching Nick Knight tutorial on lighting.

     

    Imgur: The magic of the Internet - this was done with one bare flashbulb. And it looks decent.

    Imgur: The magic of the Internet - this is with huge softbox, looks even better.

     

    And i don't get it. I'm looking at an image made with bare flashbulb, which is the hardest lighting source imaginable. And it looks decent.

     

    Then i look at images from example 1, and they are absolutely terrible but i can't understand why they are so awful.

     

    Can anyone solve this mystery?

    Any actually good fashion studio lighting tutorials?

    All your advice is corrent, and i agree with most if it, however it's not every helpful for me because i know all of that already :P

     

    and i do shoot a lot

    and i do watch lots of magazines and fashion photography in general, i basically browsed through work of every photographer from a major talent agency

    and i really realize that great picture if result of many things, and lighting is only one of them, but this one certain aspect is what i feel needs the upgrade right now

     

    and i think there is nothing wrong about failing in general, but when I'm either getting paid for my job, or if there's whole creative team involved,

    this is when i cannot fail.

     

    And while i realize that practice is the most important ingredient of progress, i also think it may be accompanied by learning stuff from the internet and youtube.

    Hello!

    Sooo there are lots of YouTube tutorials on studio lighting. However, most of them are crap :D

    and it's difficult to find videos featuring lighting setups capable of creating something that looks like actual high end fashion photography, and not some cheap lookbook for internet Store.

    Two actually usefully videos I have found are those:

    I just started working in studio. I shoot my first studio editorial, and it turned out pretty decent, but aesthetically it was not the style I'm after. And I don't know yet how to achieve what I want. And I would probably learn that sooner or later, on my own mistakes, but renting a studio is costy and it would be great to know certain lighting setups as a point of reference I could begin with.

    I have some upcoming paid lookbooks in studio too. And I don't really know what I am doing yet and I need to learn that quick.

    And yes, I read strobist, there was some useful info, but it's all extremely basic.

    I keep browsing YouTube videos, but it's difficult finding something worthwhile.

    So, good people of photo.net interested in fashion photography, do you have any videos, or channels, you would recommend for me?

    how to achieve such lighting?

    in Portraits & Fashion

    Posted · Edited by Spearhead

    Hello!

     

    I'm a fashion photographer and I would like to completely change my style. I'd like to start shooting in aesthetic similar to this hart leshkina - Google Search

     

    But I'm not sure how to achieve such lighting. It basically looks like natural light, but it's shoot mostly indoors so strobes must be included.

     

    How to achieve such soft lighting?

     

    To be more specific, lighting on those two images is what I want to replicate: (MOD: Images removed. Do not upload photos you did not take)

     

    The first one have some harsness in it, and the second one is more dull.

     

    Do you have any advice for me? :D

    "sex, drugs and rock&roll" aesthetics in photography

    in Casual Photo Conversations

    Posted

    <p>Thanks for all replies.<br /> When i said "rock&roll", i meant lifestyle rather than actual music. perhaps it would be more clear if i'd replace "rock&roll" with "we are cool and we don't give a f*ck".<br /> apart from photography subject - esthetics also have to be "rock&rollish". By this i meanpictures that are very snaphot-like, looking more like very-lucky shoot of a beginner, rather than shot by professional photographer. Pictures that are trying to capture the mood. Nan Goldin is great, but I'm looking for something less depressive and more rock&rollish (like i said before - capturing life attitude, not music itself).<br /> <a href="http://accidentswillhappen.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html">http://accidentswillhappen.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html</a> - this blog is a moderate example of esthetics im looking for.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.google.pl/search?q=the+kills&hl=pl&safe=off&prmd=imvnsl&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=iBOYUPibKYLd4QSnwYDYCA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=588">https://www.google.pl/search?q=the+kills&hl=pl&safe=off&prmd=imvnsl&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=iBOYUPibKYLd4QSnwYDYCA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=588</a> - some of these pictures also are close to what I'm looking for.<br /> <br /> I realize that all this may be very subjective and misty.</p>

    <p>What the picures are about? When i was in UK i was overwhelmed by how everything seems to be fake. I couldn't resist the impression that people rather being themselves, are trying to be advertisements of themselves - hiding weak spots, pretending to be perfect, etc. These pictures are reflection of what i felt.</p>

    <p>(i know this isn't very insightful, but it's not really about "changing the world", but about expressing feelings that dominated me back then)</p>

    teach my about my masters...

    in Casual Photo Conversations

    Posted

    <p>There are three kinds of photography I'm interested in and I'd like to acquaint myself with work of people who are/were doing this kind of stuff.<br>

    <strong>The first one</strong> is "photography of life". I'm a traveler, hitch-hicker, and I'm documenting my journeys. I'm looking for people who were doing similar stuff - documenting their life.<br>

    Biggest name i know is <strong>Nan Goldin.</strong><br>

    <strong>The second one</strong> is creepy kind of document photography, very honest in brutal way.<br>

    The best example is work of <strong>Diane Arbus.</strong><br>

    <strong>The third one</strong> is much more typical - documental photography about issues of regular persons - but things less cliche than hunger or being poor.<br>

    Good examples would be dealing with death of someone close, dealing with some kind of natural disaster, etc.<br>

    I don't know any names.<br>

    <br />I'm looking for both "grand masters", and contemporary photographers.<br>

    <br />Help me please!</p>

    where to sell fine art photography?

    in Business of Photography

    Posted

    <p>I'm a person with dslr who think he could TRY to sell some of his work online(actually i have only 1 picture i consider being worth trying). I live in EU and this is market I'm interested in.</p>

    <p>I live in small city in poland and we don't have photography galleries.</p>

    <p>Somy of my images may be appropiate for stock photography websites, but these are easy to google, so I'm not asking about them.</p>

    softness of pictures

    <p><a href="http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/">http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/</a></p>

    <p>this is very good example of hard pictures.</p>

    <p>It's not about miss-focusing. I'm reffering mostly to famous photographers of 20-th century, and pretty much all of their pictures are soft. </p>

    <p>I compared ansel adam's work with some picture from 500px in my previous post. While ansel adams pictures are sharp, they are not as punchy as these from 500px for example, which are extremly sharp.</p>
