Marajoara AFW show

Postby Alex on Sat Sep 09, 2006 12:41 am

As Wayne (Pirostitch) said: What a week! Very tiering, but exciting and amazing nevertheless. I managed to attend 3 shows which took place as part of AFW in Melbourne. It was a pleasure shooting next to Wendell. Thanks for the lessons and your efforts plus time, mate. Hope you visit Melbourne again soon. I feel dead tonight though. Here are a couple from the Marajoara which is a new swimwear label. The show created a bit of controversy in a media as they refused to use the event models and used amature models instead who better represent general population looking women :-)

Nice shots, must be hard with the black background?
I like #3, details?

The second one is my pick Alex. Composition is nice and exposure seems to be spot on.

The third one would have been better if she wasn't tilted and the rest of her arm was in the shot.

Hi Alex, I like 2 and 3. Heaps of detail and lovely skin tones. 80-200 I presume. No flash?
The black background and white above #1 doesn't help the shot IMHO.
Cheers

I like the third one best, maybe because it has some movement. GReat photos Alex.

hi alex
2nd one is best it looks that sort of tight half length shot looks great, but i think the crop is off it looks wider than the original 35mm portrait size

3rd one is great too because of the movement but i can see why you missed centreing the model in that split second shot, in instances liek that you just have to anticipate their movements that was called swish swashing, usually the pro models turn in one spot and dont move left to right too much during their final pose

exposure and timing is great

Thanks for your comments, all.

John: It was Sigma 70-200 actually. That's right no flash - good available light.

Wendell and Wayne: It was indeed a pity re arm cut off especially at the joint spot.
