I see captcha in our future.
adentParticipantadentParticipantOK, here you go as promised. I don’t know, I think it just needs something. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Any ideas? I’m actually trying not to laugh while typing this……
adentParticipantI’m confused, you ask for an opinion and then get upset when you get it? When I posted my work on here, I didn’t get upset when people pointed out where I could have done better. That was kind of the point. Someone saying “It’s fine” to spare someone’s feelings doesn’t really help anyone improve. Come to think about it, I may just take an image and process the life out of it and ask everyone what they think just to get a good laugh……..
adentParticipantHere is another local one I stumbled upon today. www.facebook.com/pages/Moxie-by-Melo/212837458762376
Nothing screams “portrait” like a sunburn and a straight jacket.
Aside from the background appearing sharper than the subject, lets cut off her right arm just to be sure.
This is a new one, the old hand heart over the ultrasound. First time I’ve seen it on someone’s knee though.
adentParticipantIs it just me or does this one look like a funeral shot?
adentParticipantThis one is great…..LOL Nice catch emileeself.
adentParticipantI could be wrong, but I think that a few legs are being pulled here. I’m pretty sure this is a joke page setup. If not, then WOW!
adentParticipantOK, I just read the price list. Does anyone actually pay that? For a portrait session?
Children’s portrait sessions begin with a $975.00 commission fee.
Commission fee does not include any digital files, prints or products.
I mean, I love my kids and all, but uh just how good can a picture be to be worth that price? If you want prints, since you get nothing from the “commision fee” the prices are as such.
8×12 : $175.00
11×16 : $275.00
16×20 : $395.00
20×24 : $475.00
20×30 : $595.00
Wow! I guess marketing is everything.24×30 : $750.00
24×36 : $975.00
30×40 : $1150.00adentParticipantI couldn’t get any of the gallery links to work.
adentParticipant@WCS I see what you mean about the color shift. I didn’t take into account the light reflecting off of the bricks in the alley. I think I need to invest in a color checker passport.
The one of the girls in the car was taken in a church parking lot. The car shots were suppose to be done in daylight, but one of the girls ended up having to work that day and we got off to a late start and ran out of daylight. It was kind of a change of plans half assed thing. I just really wanted to use that car while we had access to it.
They bill themselves as “Pissed off country singers”, which fits in with the songs they sing. The one where they were sitting in front of the wall in the grass is one where they wanted something edgier. I guess I went a little too far with that concept there.
Thank you and I will work toward developing a color strategy.
adentParticipant@CC The first one is an old one, I’ll have to go back and look at the PSD to see what I actually did in post to that one. I wasn’t getting any shallower depth of field out of the lens. f4 is as good as it gets.
The “vampire” shot, now that I look at it wouldn’t make much sense to someone who wasn’t there. That’s the girl’s mother in the foreground. She was applying powder to her neck and shoulders, not sure why. I kind of looked at the shot as the mother fading a little as the daughter came into her own and being less dependent.
These were taken at a cheer leading competition. The last shot in your post was after the first set of girls had done their routine and we had returned to the room to get the older girls ready for theirs. This was really just a quick shot I took where the camera settings were still set for the competition. I should have planned it out a little better. The cheek problem is just a result of my clumsy attempt at skin retouching. This girl has a horrible acne problem. I just did my best without giving her plastic looking skin. If I ever posted something of her without retouching I would probably never get another shot of her.
Thank you for the help.
adentParticipantSorry that link was suppose to be in the above post.
adentParticipantHoly sh*t! A watermark and dog penis in the same image……nailed it.
adentParticipantI don’t know what you mean, this is a beautiful portrait of a bail of straw.
The blurry girl is just there for a little foreground interest.
