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.

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.

This was a small fashion show showcasing work of a small Melbourne designer - "Chitra's Closet". This must have been most difficult lighting conditions I've ever had to shoot a fashion show at. Bright mid afternoon sunlight, very high contrast. Had to use fill flash on most shots.

Alex I think you've done a good job in very challenging lighting conditions.

1st one would be my pick as you had eye contact, lighting was nicely balanced, outfit is a tad more interesting than the rest. Only nitpick is the framing as her outfit has been chopped off :)

mama mia

i did a test shoot with citras closet and Redken just last year
what a co-incidence

congratulations on the gig
fashion is really cool its very french i like that

and your choice of contrasted backgound is quirky

although for imprvement i think citras closet is a label synonamous with paris
i feel shooting this at night at a moody looking cafe with smoke and muted tones would suit the brand better

very good first try with a fashion label

Thans for the comments Wayne and Craig, I do agree about the cropped off garmet in the first.

Wendell - you sure it's the same label? This lady is a Thai designer with a shop in Richmond???
