Excellent work, really first rate

Phil Tompson · July 15, 2009

Those are some great shots. I really like the one with the table. Good work!

heatherfeather · July 15, 2009

Ok it is official.

You are amazing.

Love all of these and it looks effortless.

I love how you keep them so bright but not actually blown... pretty amazing!

Just love those eye in 17
Wow, what a large wedding party.
Very nice work.

whiteagle · July 16, 2009

That's funny, I was going to say how much I loved everything except 17. Different tastes for different people I guess. Anyway, if this were my wedding, I'd be more than pleased. You've got a timeless style and one that comes from talent not skill. Although to pull off those kinds of exposures, you've definitely got the skills to back it up.

Agnieszka · July 16, 2009

Thanks everybodyyyy

whiteagle, haha! I do see your point. I was actually thinking the same (it was just a snapshot between shots), but her eyes drew me in when I looked at the pic once I was back home, so I couldn't make myslef ditch the photo, haha ...

Phil. Thanks!

I really like the ghosty look of the table cloth too/ Was only like a 3 second exposure, but it was really windy that day

(Thanks Heather

OK OK your stuff is amazing!! I am especially jealous of your PP skills. Would you mind someday posting some of your secrets in the new Grad School forum...particularly how you processed the eyes in #17. A lot of us are still trying to find our way through Photoshop and LR and could use as many tutorials as possible....

Jonnyyaya · July 16, 2009

Some Amazing work there : )

Tim Kamppinen · July 16, 2009

Love the eyes in 17, but what I'm really interested in is #11. That's an awesome wedding party shot. Just wondering, is it just lit by sunlight? I'm assuming so since the people are so spread out... did you use a polarizer to get the rich blue sky? Or some PP magic?

rhondavid · July 16, 2009

Very nice job. Know the bride and groom will be very happy with these. You did a great job capturing this beautiful day and beautiful event. You really connected with them and captured the love they share for each other.

Congrats on job well done.

divamum · July 16, 2009

Sigh. I just look, and marvel. As Heather said, you just make it look EFFORTLESS, and consistently produce beautiful shot after beautiful shot.

You're an inspiration!

Agnieszka · July 16, 2009

Thanks for the nice comments rhondaivid & divamum, it was def. one of my favorite weddings. They didn't really have many details, but the couple was sooooo handsome, and she just lit the whole room / tent when they came in + having a gorgeous setting for the posed photos helps

jeffreaux2 · July 16, 2009

Holy frickin huge bridal party batman. Hopefully you had someone to help corral them. I know the smooth skin, edgy exposure is kinda your thing, but to me a couple of these go beyond toeing the line on being blown out. The dance shots are perfectly exposed and awesome color, very impressive. Your compositions are always strong, and these are very strong, it seems that you do a LOT of different things with them, you really change things up. Great set.

This was actually not my biggest bridal party. I had one this year with 34 (!!!

) people, the couple & parents not included! Crazy. Just imagine what they had to pay for all the extra limos!

The last bridal party was a lot of fun, didn't need much help, nor did I have to yell around too much

It's just a bummer when you get home, after you positioned everybody (for the group shots), and then you look at the photo, and some of the guys moved ... just a couple of inches, but of course that made a difference and you don't see the whole face

Oh well. I guess the important thing with big bridal parties is to get MANY photos & a couple different poses, so you end up with at least a couple of shots where you see them all

Yeah, I know ... I live on the edge of being blown, but I like the effect, and my couples seem to like it to

Glad you liked the dancing shots.

Thanks for commenting.

Swartzy · July 16, 2009

Beautiful Angie! Love the bridal party shot...That is awesome. Can you share some of what your processing is for the light tones and flawless but not overprocessed skin...is it an action or a filter?

Pamani · July 17, 2009

Hurme · July 17, 2009

Can't really offer anything but praise. Excellent stuff from start to finish.

Toast? Did somebody say... toast???

Back to topic: Agnieszka, what do you do for those skin tones? Is it because you tend towards the lighter end of the exposure, or do you have some amazing refinishing technique for that incredibly beautiful, creamy, ultra-smooth look? (Or is this your "secret ingredient" which I'm not supposed to ask about? If so, apologies - blame my remnants of n00bness

)
