Studio stuff

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.

2 really commercial editorial shoots i did
i shot under strict brief i.e lots of light on model, which i don't like.

Label: Amy New
theres a bit of blur on this because i shot it at 1/125(max sync speed) of studio IR trigger for the flash strobe

I always like seeing your work wendell :) The first shot is great, even including the blurred skirt. Agree with you though, there is way too much light in the second... Doesn't really feel natural.

Thanks for sharing, I'm always interested in getting new technique/lighting ideas.

Wow, very nice studio setup there :)

I agree with the 2nd shot, too much light on the subject, but its nicely lit...

Very professional! The second photo may not have too much light depending on where is going to go. However, it is the reflection of the light box on the model glasses that I find distracting. Excellent photographs, specially the movement in the first one. I guess you took them with a proper professional camera.

Not sure Wendell. These shots are a bit static. This is not Wendell as seen previous. I like you previous stuff better. Somethings missing. The first shot seems out of focus and yes I realise slower shutter, legs have some movement. Second shot does nothing for me its too cooked and too colourful.
Hi key works well with demure colour sats or even B/W
Sorry for the bag out but these shots aren't Wendell.

shoot it real.

look! and see. Shoot and feel

I love #1.

As for #2, I'm still undecided about that reflection on the sunglass.
