Awesome pics. Great lighting. Look thick. Solid. Good white balance. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new strobes or shoot-through umbrellas. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' high-contrast, backlit, and low key you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Yeah, your body composition, mister photographer man :smug:

My body composition follows the rule of thirds: One third fat, one third bone, and the other third is the DSLR i'm currently holding.

This was a pretty funny sketch about couples/portrait/wedding photography on Amy Schumer's show on Comedy Central.

Corey by Isaac Sachs, on Flickr

We met Corey (a.k.a. Big Bird) at RJ's Drive-In Restaurant in Burns, Oregon. Corey is from Tacoma, Washington, and moved to Burns three years ago. Today was his first day off in 12 days from working the night shift at the local Safeway. He planned to spend his day hunting coyotes. He is a proponent of the right to carry arms. "Out here, you need guns. You go out of town and there's badgers, wild pigs, coyotes, bobcats. Badgers are mean, but their legs are short, so they can't jump."




This one in particular works on a few levels. The (empty) gun rack in the truck. The similar rugged, no-bullshit, two-tone color scheme of both the guy and the truck. Even his hair matches the color of the rust!

Edit: My point is that I like the text but this image in particular doesn't require any.

He sells a lot of crap but this bit of free advice is truly useful. It's basically 'myspace angles' but it's effective and flattering

It only looks good if the subject is in front of wood paneling of some type.

You know how most dudes dress for their engagement photos with a terrible, ill-fitting pinstriped bro shirt worn untucked over baggy dad-wash jeans and $40 payless 'dress shoes'? Even that looks better than a vest over a t-shirt (unless you're in a Korean lookbook.)

Naw, they're cute and work with her outfit and his processing.

Yea, a polka dot swim dress + oversized shades is a very classic look. It only lacks a scarf and/or oversized floppy hat.

1) Harsh, directional light is unflattering for people with soft/round features. It can also create weird shadows that accentuate certain features(like the nose). Try a large umbrella or softbox and get it as close as possible to the subject.

2) Shooting close up with a ~35mm is generally unflattering and gives a slight fisheye effect. For close ups try stepping back and using 50mm or longer (some would argue 85-100mm minimum)

3) Naval-level shots are unflattering and makes people look large(r) waisted plus looking down creates a double chin. Try being about eye-level.

Yea, put your camera in M, ISO 100, shutter 1/200 and then go hog wild with the aperture and flash settings.

The shutter speed will make it so only the light from your flash is recorded. Now you are in control.

Winnebago workshop had a pop-up show in Brooklyn the other day and he was there just hanging out with everyone. He was cool enough to show me around the winnebago and chat and let me take a few photos of him. Super nice guy! :shroom:
