Fairly moody shot, which fits with the style and image of the band,

especially that of the drummer. I'd like some feedback on the shot

(composition, lighting (although that wasnt in my control), overall

look/feel, etc.

 

BTW, the shot appears to come up a little bit darker on the photo.net

website than the uploaded file actually was. I am hoping that its a

quirk of my browser or something. I'm curious if anyone else has had

their uploaded files come out darker on the website than on their

systems?

thats all...just wow....

 

kudos!

This shot really just captured my eye and tripped my trigger on all sorts of levels, perspective, angle, lighting, mood/environment, color, cropping..all of it.

 

And maybe it's because of the years i spent going to college in brutaly cold winter climates, but I have to say i really respect your determination in braving the cold for that one :)

Actually it was more candid than posed. I had been changing film and she was waiting for me to finish, rather oblivious to me when I grabbed this shot.

I took this shot of a fairly new child model in AZ recently, using

available light. I was trying for less staged/obviously posed images,

that captured the childs look while also showing some

mood/environment (without getting so artistic that the shots wouldnt

be viable in her portfolio).

 

I'd appreciate any feedback on the image, &/or suggestions to improve

my results on future shoots with child models.

 

I also have a second similar image of the model smiling in a

*slightly* different pose in the 'Tori' folder within my portfolio.

If anyone would care to comment on which of these two similar images

they prefer (and why) that would also be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

My fashion editorials are often very 'non-traditional' thematically. This particular editorial had a very rough edged sensuality, but it was all between the 2 models. In the few shots where either model engaged the camera directly, it really came across like the viewer/camera was intruding on something or interrupting them. I chose this the more agressive of those shots to include with the editorial. This was the last shot of 5.

Nice combination of a tastefully nude model done with a fun mood/atmosphere.

Really caught my eye and held it.....but what are we missing thats going on off camera?

the scans should be as good as the slides. However, if you are doing night photography or work that has very subtle color gradations you sometimes will wind up with less than equal results. My lab tends to get me about 90-95% of my scans turning out as good as the original slides.

I love how the use of color brings the whole bright & cheery mood of the shot together.

Very interesting & memorable shot...great image overall.

definately different...and quite interesting visually

Great creative choices add up to a great image. Very well done.

I'd never thought of such a different use of a polarizing filter, or even thought of trying to capture that type of subject in that way. I commend you on both an innovative choice of subject and execution. Beautiful image.

Great concept, subject, execution, and originality. Killer work.

I just am taken with...maybe its the 'too cool' chases on the cabbie, when set in that car in that city that clicks for me. I'm not sure, but it just works for me. Very nice.

Captures the child in a specific moment & mood. Nicely done.

I'd give up an organ to have that tunnel within a couple hours drive of me for fashion shoots. Great shot.

Pretty rare, especially rare when done well. I like it!

Very well done. Creative and thoughtful choices creating a standout image.

Excellent shot!

Is really strong in this shot. Reminds me of home somehow (I'm from Agrigento).

The tone and use of light really gave it a cinematic feel to me. Shades of hitchcock definately emphasize a moodiness in the shot. Very nice.

These shots are part of a series documenting the body modification culture. Your reaction to the shots as though the purpose is mere shock value shows a lack of knowledge on the subject. Many people involved in this culture weave alot of spirituality into their decision to ornament, modify, and change their bodies. This isnt anout shocking anyone any more than the Maori or other aboriginal and tribal people's tattoos and various other body modifications are. You dont question the ethics of the photographers who document the lifestyles and culture of those peoples do you?

(its not really a portrait in the standard sense of the word, but I

dont see where else it would fit in)

 

This is from a fashion editorial series i shot in mid-june with a

young model Geneveive from Wilhelmina models in L.A., makeup by
