Some good ol'2nd shooting.

April 1st I 2nd shot for Nicole Shilliday.

Which in turn made this a mini high school reunion. Conner (the bride) was a fellow classmate and graduated with us. As well was in the music program with us too, as with some other classes .. now that I think about since middle school... :scratch) and Brian. One of the singers during the ceremony was also a classmate and fellow singer. And to continue this trend several guests were also of our grade and school.

I just noticed you can see my assistant for that time, one of the groomsman, hand holding my flash... hmm...

I like 1, 6 and 5 (would prefer it without the grain though). Sorry but I cannot understand what you were trying to do with no. 3, and number 2, although quirky, is an unflattering angle/expression.

Tell us about this one Ted...what exactly is it. Novelty photo...

And, what about this one...why the grain. It doesn't remind me of film. I grew up shooting film...nothing like this. Did you do it for an artsy effect...or just way low light.


I like looking at your work...just wondering what you were trying to accomplish...or what accident caused the first one.

I like these Ted! I can tell you're relaxing and playing around with it. Like others have said, I'm not sure whats going on in #3, but I like. Maybe not a great wedding image (or maybe it is...), but a very cool photo.

So don't kill me for cropping out your logo, but I had to do this to #1. The guys left toes were bugging me and I don't know if the window adds... so here. I love the cross light!

Hi, Ted!

I love #1, composition, color, love it! But, as the others above me, I am not sure about the intentions of the two photos already mentioned. I think the first thing that popped into my head was "accidental". In fact, when I saw #5 I thought, "Wow that's really low light." So for me, both 3 and 5 are the weakest of the bunch because I can't tell if you created/shot the images with intent or if they were mistakes that you liked and saved.

Also, I do appreciate and see your style: the way you compose is very apparent. However, I was wondering if you had more shots with at least varying distances from the subjects or more dynamic compositions. Scrolling down this body of work, it just starts to have a same-ness to the pictures when it looks like they were taken with the same focal length and composition (with the subjects at about the same distances off center).

Sorry, I am currently writing a paper, so my writing may seem a bit on the formal side. I assure you I have only the best intentions on the critique and really like how your style has shaped itself :-)

#3 was for fun, it wasn't by accident. I was shooting behind stained glass. I figure since I already got the boutineer shot in, I might as well try some more and have fun with it.

#5 was added grain, again, I wanted to play around. And... it was a slight mistake too...

Hmm... I didn't think about cropping the dude... Still fun image.

Thanks for the comments.

I think I'm pretty ok with #3, actually. I LOVE #4, though. What a great shot.

Thanks!

I hope you checked the blog. Cause there is a whole lot more where that came from.
