Reichstag posted:I think the first two work very well as senior portraits, but the third is problematic within that context; looking down on an uncertain subject does not project the exuberance and possibility generally desired for those shots. The first one is probably the safest choice for the final pick, though I would really like to see it with her entire head in the blown out light, because as TheAngryDrunk said, her hair melts into it, I think it would be a rather nice effect for the photo though. Here's a few more. Not sure how to make her hair pop out more from the trees in the background. Maybe some dodge/burn?  Reminded me of Saoirse Ronan and a particular shot from The Lovely Bones:  Not much of a senior portrait, but I liked it on its own merits:

Went to a wedding. I'm too lazy right now to fix stray hairs. Meanwhile, tell me your preferred method for dealing with them in post!

The best way to get medium format type effects is to shoot medium format. We have a thread over here http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3191750

xenilk posted:I'm happy with refining my own style, yes of course. I found what I liked to do, why would I be wrong by pursuing it? You're the one who seems insulted - you're reading really far into what I posted. The points you should consider - does everything have to be about knowing the authorial intent? Is everything that's "different" necessarily just different for the sake of being different? I don't really care if you want to do things in your particular style, I just want you to question those assumptions you displayed in your responses to Reichstag and the photo he posted. edit: here, I googled "authorial intent" for you http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Author_intent

Yeah, I realize it's "in" right now, I just honestly don't see the point of relying on it as a stylistic choice. What does it add to the image? Like with any other kind of post-processing, be careful you don't let your processing be the point of the image. I feel like you use it as a crutch. I know I don't post in this thread a lot (something I plan on changing) but there's a lot of other stuff I'd think about before adding that type of post work. Some of your compositional choices are a little bizarre to me, for example.

 Untitled by Isaac Sachs, on Flickr xenilk posted:Tested Sue Bryce's vflat/natural light approach... pretty neat The first one would be a lot better if it were warmer. The second one unflatteringly emphasizes her arm and two front teeth. (Please also get your model to make a different facial expression - give her some direction other than "stare at the camera blankly.")

Ah, yes, the Alma Mater Society of Queen's University makes Canada's laws. That explains so much. Or maybe it's just that you can't read and always need to defend yourself and have the last word on critique?? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

No option of BBcode. Also every time I go to grab the link I have to set the photo to private, refresh, then back to public and refresh again before it gives me the link. Every time I log-in. The [url] and [img] tagged set of links IS BBcode.
