Alternatively you could invest in an incident meter and not care about reflective metering

McMadCow posted:I use an incident meter for my model work, but don't you as a landscape/architecture shooter primarily work with a spot meter...? I can't afford a spot meter (too much film), so I psuedo-spot - I run around and take incident readings under different light and try to fudge the zone system that way

Take his advice, your original shots are pretty boring. On the second she's just standing in front of a wall, listlessly holding an instrument. That doesn't say anything about being a musician - it just looks like she's holding a prop.

If your lens has vignetting wide-open (most do) you'll assuredly make it more obvious if you're tweaking your curves right.

LargeHadron posted:Do you mind posting pictures of your own that have the same intent but actually do it well? Here's a little picture I took of an environmental portrait. As you can see the image is about the landscape but I have added a person in it for a better feel

LargeHadron posted:Were you really not comprehending the discussion or are you just being funny? If the latter, then yes that is pretty funny. If you're sincerely trying to denounce an entire aesthetic, you're going to have to put more effort into it than that. Huh. LargeHadron posted:It's nice that you took the time to write all that. Excepting the awkward one of her on the stairs, I was consciously trying to achieve a very minimal type of portrait in which the subject is there just a part of the composition (and something more interesting to look at than a log or whatever else it could have been).  016_a by Large Hadron, on Flickr There's no "minimal" look to this at all. You have a person directly framed in the center of your composition and you're trying to say the subject is just part of it - no. The subject *is* your composition. If you want to create something where the subject is merely a component of the entire composition, you can't just cut out a portrait, place it on a background, and call it a day.

I think those would all benefit from some curves for contrast.

mr. mephistopheles posted:If that's the look you want, why not just use equipment that can only achieve that instead of dumbing down your equipment to make some kind of statement? Yeah anyone with camera access can get that shot, so why use a several thousand dollar setup to get it? Because obviously what matters is how much the equipment you're using cost, not what you want to do.\ somnambulist posted:But ultimately you need to ask yourself: What is this photo for? If anything, MAYBE it could be used for an editorial piece, but otherwise I dont believe many clients would want portraits taken in a light that doesnt flatter their face that well. She is a very pretty girl, and I believe better light and better hand placement (and the form of the hand) would make this a thousand times stronger. Ask yourself: does everything need a marketable niche?
