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.

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.

At New York Fashion week i was shooting for several mags and getty images
i had several briefs one mag wanted the standard reportage shot, the other makeup beauty shot and getty wanted something up close and personal
so i had to satisfy many briefs using different styles
style1, reportage stand back just shoot what happens in available light
standard beauty shot flat lighting, used a modified fong spehre made it more directional lighting, with a tungsten gel
my up close and personal
available light tungsten from side, balanced with fong sphere with tungsten gel
im able to post this one because i didnt upload this one to getty
this one is setup, against a black wall used my sb800 naked at 11 '0' clock position

Are you sure you didn't take the first image from Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland" album cover?
The last one is my pick.
Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
