My first post - EvonT

halee1953

Hi, I am a new member and I was looking around and can't find any threads to introduce myself. So I guess I'll introduce myself by posting one photo from my recent photo-shoot. I'm from Malaysia by the way. The model's name is EvonT.



Please give your c&c, appreciate any inputs.

Welcome to the club Glad to have you here.

Since you asked for it....
I like the photo!

Pros:

• She's beautiful - lucky you
• Light is very, very nice. The sun has done a good job picking up her hair.
• You've got nice soft shadows on her face - giving her some nice depth.
• Love the posing of her left hand - her fingers are so graceful
• Love the line of her body in the photo and the angle/relationships between her hands, arms, and shoulders.

Cons (some you can fix here, some you can't:D):

• Wash the glass behind her
• Clone out the glass seal sticking up in the lower right corner
• Pull her right should back a bit to remove the skin wrinkles
• Get rid of the table
• You have a very hot spot on the far side of the glass (lower panes).
• Her right shoulder, right hip, and hair tie all have minor hot spots.

I really hope to see more of your work.

Gosh, Scott_Quier, I never realized that there were so many angles you guys look at. Really appreciate the feedbacks.

angevin1, thanks for the encouragement.

More comments please. Ok, I know, the line on the wall is distracting.

• Cute girl
• Nice pose
• Light is a bit bland to my taste
• Apart from the line, the wall itself does pretty much nothing.

Suggestions:

• add key light, it will bring some interesting shadows
• unless extra light can bring more distinctive shadows on the wall, move the model next to the corner or put her at 6 ft away from the wall

HTH and keep them coming!

Thanks, Nikolai, need these feedback to improve. We (a bunch of 6 photographers with 1 cute model) were shooting in an fairly dark abandoned building (with cobwebs and dirty window glass). We were struggling to get lighting with the help of reflectors and fill-in flash. The second photo was without reflectors as we were not able to get sufficient light and it was shot with fill-in flash at ISO1250. I should have bounced the flash off the wall instead of the ceiling to create more interesting shadows. But that's what it is, a learning experience.
