Have you considered doing any perspective correction?

The perspective is part of why it's a good picture in my humble opinion.

I'm so so so so bad at it. I feel like every adjustment makes it look wonky.

EDIT: Here is my attempt, in any case

I'm not sure if that was a legitimate attempt because you just made everything look distorted as hell.

Like, foreshortening is a thing, you're removing perspective by making everything straight. How does getting rid of that aspect of reality improve this photo

Might as well make it completely isomorphic.

How does correcting verticals on the side remove perspective in your wacky dimension?

Because when you look at the world with your eyes, all lines are subject to foreshortening. That is the perspective we view the world from. The perspective in this photo is "looking slightly upwards", which you intuitively know because of the converging verticals.

Why not correct the horizontals too? Those drawings on the walls look like parallograms, and they are pointing downwards. We should straighten them so they look like rectangles because that's what they really are! Obviously you wouldn't do that because you know that drawings look crooked because you are viewing the wall at an angle and they are being subjected to foreshortening. But if you did then the whole photo would just look like if Picasso did photography and you would have removed all sense of depth. That's what I mean by removing perspective.

Basically I don't think straightening the verticals helps the photo. You've changed the perspective from "looking slightly up" to "looking straight on" but why does that perspective need to be changed at all? I don't really see anything being enhanced by virtue of more straightness in this context other than a compulsive need for straightness. :shrug:

FWIW I know I've been shooting too low and too wide with my subjects. Which is really bad when you are photographing a human.

I just gotta push the focal length as much as I'm willing to go when working small spaces, and bring up the tripod to at least eye level.

Or shoot medium format I guess.

Generally, not always, but generally I find if you are editing in Lightroom, in the HSL, a slight positive push into the orange and red hue, and a slight negative pull in the saturation usually does the trick for skin tones.


Just wanted to say thanks for this super simple but amazing tip. Can't believe how yellowy-green some of my skin tones looked before.

My first impression of this one was really good. I liked the composition, elements, and colors. Then I saw the backfill flash and I don't think it fits at all. The light back there is too white and too low. Maybe Photoshop the highlights to a gold or incandescent hue to blend it in a bit?

Edit: Also I might suggest shooting at a higher f stop for multiple subjects like your second shot. The guy sitting 6 inches back from the woman is out of focus. Using f/8 or f/9 should help a ton.

The lighting is really unflattering. The hard shadows combined with the hair light create a tone that isn't really appropriate for a happy old lady. Plus that chair. Why is the chair there? The hair lights catching on it along with the pillars and the foreground chair are really distracting.

Yeah get rid of the hair light and balance the key light to be at or just above the room lights. The room being like 2 or 3 stops below the subject isn't doing that photo any favors.
