I agree with the lamp. And your skin tones are all over the place. Did you shoot this with any kind of lighting or was the lamp your main source. Oh and one more thing, kid photos that have the most impact to me are the ones where their eyes are featured. You have to show us that innocence.
For the lamp, mom wanted it in the photo????? I was shooting this in a house where the room was about 9x10....fairly small and using a 50mm lens. I could have changed it but I wasn't prepared, the only other lens I had with me was a 100mm (yeah, I only use primes)
Anyway, The lamp was not the only light source. some shots it was on and some it was off...again, mom being creative???? it was against my judgement but oh well.
The skin tones very here because I was asked to produce black and white, sepia, washed out, selective color, cross processing, and God knows what else.
I sent her the proofs similar to what was here and then cropped and fixed up and it paid off.
She took the cropped ones and placed a nice big order.
No offense but these would have called for a reshoot on my part. These wouldn't have even made it to my "to do" folder. I'm wondering what market you're in since I remember one of your posts saying you're a paid professional. Again no offense but these just scream out point and shoot to me.
I guess i'm just very particular as to what I let my clients see. If I'm not happy with it they don't get to see it.
yeah...ummmm.....as I said, the mom wanted this set up, she thought she was creative and onto something.
If you took the time to read what I typed earlier you would have seen that. It was against my better judgement but she wanted it like this, go figure?
If it were up to me it would have been VERY different, which is why I posted them here to see what you guys thought, I was reluctent to post them for this reason but what the heck, It ended up worth it even though I do not like the results, the customer did.
