Something pt2

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I admire your skill but personally I prefer your softer lighting set-ups Wendel. This hard edge lighting is too contrasty for these particular images....but that's only my personal taste. The colour arrangements are beautiful!

hi

thats a tv crew guy hes meant to be in the pic
it was pretty dark in there
technically i had to take the photo in a way that resulted with lots of noise
i tried to use minimum shutter speeds to reduce noise

the important things i look for first is subject matter, art direction, and then technical

thankyou for comments

Matt i understand hard light only suits certain situations in this situation i thought in my judgement a hard light would contrat the pensive fragility of the the scene

if i had all day i'd shoot the set a million times over using all the lighting techniques i could muster it really was an inspirational fashion presentation

Always a joy to see your images mate. I was wondering to myself if you were in Fashion Week when I saw it on the news. Glad to see you were.

I like the harsh lighting in these i,ages, I don't think subdued soft light would have served them as well.

Lovely once again, very contrasting style to the other set. I prefer your handling of the softer lighting. Both terrific though. Wendelll out of curiosity what camera and lens set up?
