Studio Shoot

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted February 16, 2014309 views5 comments

I am trying to venture out and try a few other types of photography to stretch my knowledge and keep learning. I had the opportunity to have a little fun trying some studio shots with a group of friends. I think this is the 5th time I went specifically to photograph people for portrait type work. I was lucky to have a pretty model to work with.

The soft light looks excellent Kurt.
Pretty girl, love how the close portrait comp accentuates those beautiful brown eyes

Nice processing on the model - especially her skin. I do find the upper right corner to be somewhat, actually, very distracting, especially the bracelet, plus the very tip of her sleeve sneaking in. My eyes fight to keep away from this area.
I, as a viewer, want to concentrate on her face, and particularly her eyes, which are very powerful, almost mesmerizing. Her entire expression is one of intense study. As a suggestion, I might try to soften down her lips a bit. Not much, just a bit. If you do this again (another photo shoot), I'd also pay a little more attention to a couple of other details - the way her shirt collar lies on her neck/shoulder, plus the little bit of necklace showing. It might have been better with no jewelry at all.
All in all, you've captured this moment ideally, and have done a beautiful crafting job on her face with your post processing skills.

Excellent control of light here. I'll agree the bracelet is distracting, but that's a minor nit overall.
