New Photography

C&C of course.
It is really hard for me to take photos of the Jamaican girl because her eyes are so intense and evil looking that it hurts to have camera to eye contact with her. She stares the camera down.

You took these? how do you get these models, are you like.. profesh photographerr?

ps I like the 2nd one and last one most

No these are actually two girls that attend the same school as me.

I love taking pictures outside. I miss it. I feel like lately I've been taking so many indoor pictures, but the occasions have been unfortunately calling for it. Anyways, a quick critique on each picture:

1. This shot could be cut up into portraits of both of them, especially the girl on the left. Love the setting and background, only problem I have is the dark dark shadow on the girl on the right's face. Love the reflections in the water, good job on having the horizon line off center.
2. Definitely my least favorite. I just think her skin doesn't work well against the brown leaves, she doesn't pop off the background even with the small DoF. Perhaps it darkening the background might help.
3. Great exposure, borderline overexposure on part of the shirt but it's white so what can you do. Small nitpicking: I would have like to have seen her other foot in the shot for a feeling of completion.
4. Did you purposely make the picture cool? A lot more blue tones in this one. But I like the pose, both it and the fence helps the eye move up and down the picture.

Overall, good job. I'm so jealous of you that you have the opportunity to shoot so much. Lately I've been so busy that I've only been able to shoot for school projects! And that's only been two this quarter.

Thanks Axxy <3
And no I actually didn't do the cooler colors on purpose. This is just the best time of year for me to take photos in Florida because it seems like it is just the beginning of autumn.
In the first picture I was going to have the Horizon run through their eyes, but I didn't want to risk walking out into the water with my camera so it had to stay as is.

If you want to fix those cool colors then, you can use a photo filter in Photoshop. :]

&Haha, I used to be VERYVERY cautious with my camera, but then it snowed for the first time this season on Saturday, and decently thick for a while, so...I went out with my camera. Even though a lot of snow got on it and melted, no problems.
I want a waterproof case for it, so I can take pictures UNDERWATER!

I absolutely love the last shot, Cyrus. Great composition, great pose, everything works perfectly. The third on is really nice too, but I think the maybe it would look a little better if there was a bit more negative space above her head, and as Axed said, if her other foot was in the picture. I really want to like the second one, and I think the composition is good, I think it might be the brown leaves against her skin tone. And the first on (sorry about going in reverse order lol), there's something I don't like about it, but many things I do like.

The model in the third pic looks disgusted lol. Not a great face to be sporting. Second is yummy though. Interesting pics, strong focals.

The only one I really like is the first, and I dislike the heavy shadows and the distance between you and the models.

The second is downright unflattering to the model, because it makes her look pudgy and purple :(

The third, I really dislike how the bar goes across her throat. She looks decapitated.

The last one, I really like the hues, however the model just doesn't look very... pretty in that pose. It looks silly and forced. :/


Just my 2 cents. :P

i think the backrounds in all of them are amazing i love the whole fence seen going on there too.

but the only thing i dont like about this assortment is the first model, seems to be something with her hair, her facial features are beautiful i just dont like the short cut hair :P

but great work its astoundingly profesh. ^-^
