Cross-posting this from SAD. Normally I'm more of a macro and still-life shooter but I happened to do a portraiture photoshoot with a friend and here's one of the shots from it, a cliche thin DOF "eyes sharp, ears blur" photo: Eyes Wide Open by alkanphel, on Flickr

McMadCow posted:Awkward limb-chopping is something I usually harp on, but in this case it's secondary to how tightly crammed-in she feels in the frame. Even her pose conveys being squished into a box.

Thanks for all the advice! There is actually some extra space to play with so let me adjust the crop and put it up later to see how it looks.

Mannequin posted:One other critique: film has its disadvantages. Sometimes I would forget to cock the film advance lever on the Pentax and miss a shot, and had to ask her to go back and do it again. With digital I could have just kept her in focus the whole time and held the shutter button down and gotten 10 pictures out of it, all in focus. There was a bit of tracking her while maintaining manual focus at the same time, which presents some challenges. But we will have to see how all of that turns out.

somnambulist posted:These are good I really like her expressions. The blue makeup is a weeee bit distracting, but it's not bad or anything, just a preference. Thanks! I love what you've shot also, but I prefer the 2nd one to the 1st one because the negative space in the 1st one just feels overwhelming.

sw1gger posted:Overall, it's not bad. But it's far from great. Few things: Why black and white? I feel it needs to be a bit more "dramatic" in the lighting to warrant the black and white treatment (usually reserved for more theatrical headshots) . That said, I really think the lighting is pretty cool. The bright side on our right helps define his head but I feel the area just about the (our) right eye down to the lower part of his cheek is a little darker than I'd have. Thanks for your critique! In all honesty it wasn't really planned as I met him while he was working at a retail shop so he stepped out for a smoke break and I decided to take his photo for fun. But I think I agree with you that that area under the right eye can be brighter slightly more. You're also spot-on that I took this from below because I was using a waist-level finder, and yeah it's not good at all for headshots. Oh and the reason why I shot it in black and white was because I didn't bring any colour film that day.

Cross-posting from the MF/LF thread. My friend bought some LED panels so I decided to try and shoot a quick casual portrait of another friend who came over to his house as well. One thing about using LED panels with my Hassy is that you don't need to bother with a flash sync cable anymore, and you can see how the light will be right in the viewfinder, instead of having to test with another camera or Polaroid.

Haha yeah good points both of you, I'll break out the reflector for the next few shots if I can find one. Or maybe I will just change the lighting setup for variation.
