these photos please ...










Mach

I'm not a photographer but I think they are beautiful!

Nice! I would crop them a bit differently, that's all. Apart from that they look good.

thanx... do they seem out of focus ?

retina said:

how would you crop them ?

do they seem fuzzy to you ?

very nice. would make a great framed set if blown up and placed in series

Mach said:

yes i agree...i wonder if that's what makes them seem fuzzy to me

Mach said:

maybe.

Mach said:

Well, the ones where she's reaching to one side need more air/black on the side she's reaching towards and less air/black on the other side. It's the same as when you for example have a person looking in a certain direction. Then you want there to be something for them to look at, so to speak, and not just the edge of the picture. Just my personal opinion.



Hard to tell when they're so small (and probably in low resolution?), but it's not the type of picture where lack of sharpness is necessarily a problem.

very nice, Im not a photographer or do I know anything about pictures, but I like the colors....she has a very sexy back, her poses are classy.

retina said:

Okay...thank you

these are just the previews and not final crop / edits

amorbella said:

thanx for your opinions

she can be sexy when she is 18 but yes ...thank you

i thought the poses were classy too

Wow!...Very nice photos.. ...Do you have them in a larger size? It looks like there are details in the sleeves of her top that would make the photos even more interesting if they could be seen better. The monochrome is a nice touch, I'd maybe go for a bit more contrast, but again that may depend on how they appear when larger...

Beautiful, seriously...

Were the poses ment to bring a certain emotion across? (e.g. first one reminds me of longing)
If so, either my mind is wired different or the poses miss that clarity, because i'm not seeing/feeling it.

I think it seems out of focus due to the percentage of black in there.

It would be a great view to put these three A0 format on a wall.

They seem to lack a little sharpness Mach, a tad underexposed too, and Byron is right, bump the contrast up a bit. Perhaps a little turn to three quarters for the pose, the lines will flow a bit more.

Byron said:

this is the only size i have of them

and i agree about the sleeves

i think i'll post the color ones for everyone to look at too ...

AlfofMelmak said:

i am not sure ...i wasnt there when they were taken
i think they are just random poses ...

yes the heavy black adds to the fuzzy look

i just thought they would be sharper being from a pro studio

jerseykrs said:

good points ...thanx

Mach, I like them as is...they look "antiqued". I like that.

But, I don't know about photography.

here are the color ones ...

SHANNA said:

thank you

The photos themselves are great and I love them. The only thing I would of done differently is to maybe leave a tad bit more room at the top and the bottom of the second one that way her hands and feet are not cropped so tightly to the edge of the picture. The third one to on the right side. These would also look great in black and white...I could have so much fun with these photos in photoshop....ideas are swirling in my head. Great Job Mach.


Everyday something inspires me to do what I love the most again, and I am one day closer to it...thank you.

that's a cool lighting effect


nice choice of model too

notoriousj said:

thanx ...i didnt take them and i wansnt there yesterday when they were taken ( thats my youngest daughter )

i THINK i may have been able to take slightly better ones myself
( maybe !! )

people pay BIG $ for these photo sittings and lots of $ for the finished product... just not sure if in MY opinion they are that good of quality

slicksight said:

oh ... thats my baby gurl right there

I understand they are a type of photograph, the type that have very much but nothing going on execpt for the subject, soto capture the subject as a work of art.

The Model was a little uptight about being photographed, and it's the photographers job to make the model feel at ease.

The lighting wasn't good enough, strong enough, to light the subject properly.

They are a little fuzzy.

The sutter didn't fire at the optimum time and/or the model didn't hold the pose as well as should have.

The dress part of the outfit could have been dressed. In other words, shaped so that it would have hung better. A little great example of what I mean is the tasel on the white scarf around her butt. You can easily note a tasel climming up her ass rather then hanging down the dress as it should be. However I am talking you could have dressed the full dress like that.

You asked for Opinions from Photographers. I believe you did this to improve not just as a egobloating, that is why I have said what I said. It's good to have something to work toward. The photographes are enjoyable.

Mach said:

to be honest, they aren't, and the photographer should be ashamed to take money for the product. There are so many HACKS out there, Byron can attest to that, I know I saw horrible examples back when I was shooting semi pro.

Mach said:

Please tell me though there was some taken with her facing the camera??? If not that is something else I would have done differently.
