Re: Candy Girl II

afgrijzelijk lelijk,geknalde belichting,slechte compo en weinig candy.Ik zou graag wat meer onderbouwing willen lezen van de pos.kritieken op deze disc,.
Dan kan ik daar misschien van leren om er dan anders naar te kijken.
Misschien ben ik fanatic in dit geval,maar het forum is er toch ook om te leren.

Smaken verschillen nu eenmaal, ongeacht hoeveel onderbouwing er ook gegeven wordt. En sommige mensen hebben wel respect voor een ander zijn/haar mening. Dus bij deze bedankt voor de jouwe. Ook wij kunnen daar uit leren.

Niet dat ik me hoef te verantwoorden omdat ik deze platen heel goed vind, maar kom...
De kleuren, de poses, de expressie vind ik super. En de belichting vind ik net zeer geslaagd.
Technische uitleg mag je van mij niet verwachten aangezien ik een leek ben. Dit is puur buikgevoel

Uit deze reeks (en de vorige) blijkt de goede samenwerking van het team (model, visgiste en fotograaf).

Smaken verschillen nu eenmaal...

Re: Candy Girl II

Ik vraag er niet om ,om je te verantwoorden.
Fijn dat je zegt waarom je de foto goed vindt.
Het hoeft voor mij niet perse technisch te zijn,ben zelf ook niet zo goed op de hoogte,maar daar zijn weer anderen voor waar ik wat van kan leren,en zij weer van mij,erg leerzaam zo'n disc.!

Re: Candy Girl II

Did she eat all the candy afterwards?

First series was really strong; this is more having fun I guess.

Was mijn eerste indruk ook bij de laatste, maar ik vraag mij af of de foto dezelfde indruk had gemaakt met meer van het tweede oog erop. Ik zou graag weten of de fotograaf hier bewust voor gekozen heeft van de regels af te wijken om dit effect te bekomen.

Om van te leren uiteraard, want fotografie op dit niveau daar kan ik enkel van dromen.

Sterke reeks!!

There are many choices that can be made in a photo session, the choices can be limited when we talk about the 'rules' of what makes a photo good or bad. Technical merit is based on a few rules that can be measured, artistic merit doesn't mean that rules don't count though, I just see it as bending them until it fits what you have in mind. Experimenting is the only way to see what fits. Some things just don't work, some things are out of balance and feel uncomfortable to look at.

If you look at these three shots, the 1st one is actually the odd one out. It's shot at 110mm. It's safe, it's clean, it's a girl pushing a marshmallow in her nose. It's fun, but for me it's lacking that punch to make it stand out. It's also shot from straight in front of her. She's in a relaxed pose.

The other 2 shots though, 26 and 30mm. Not the general rule for portraits. At such focal lengths the portrait distorts, making the face rounder and adding depth to the image. Add the fact that I was standing very close and she was looking up in the air at me.. It really punches the shot and almost makes a caricature of her. Which is getting very close to our idea of 'clown'
In that respect the 3rd image is the strongest, the angled mouth the hard crop. The idea of that shot is that's she's looking up into the camera, not me looking at her. That's also the reason the eye is framed so hard too. I very rarely crop photos afterwards.
I try my hardest to frame things how we imagine them. I say we because all these shoots are planned out between Inge and myself. Make-up, lighting, decoration, etc. It's all talked about before the shoot and we try hard to keep to that briefing. There is one factor we cannot calculate into the shoot, and that is the model, Pauline is full of energy so we tried to add that into our work too.

I should add, if you've seen the 1st set of the candy girl pics, the very soft feel we created. Using a wide aperture, reducing the Depth of field to soften and blur the shots, making them much more intimate. I think they were all Fuji shots too, I used just ambient light and high ISO for those, conditions the Fuji just loves.
These though, shot with the Nikon. Aggressive flash, small aperture, lots of focus. Very 'in your face' All components that are chosen to fit the mood and style we have in mind.

I hope that explains a bit about the thinking that goes behind our work. It may be fun but we take it very seriously.

PSG: I pigged far too many of those marshmallows Maybe the expression on the 3rd photo is because the marshmallow in 1&2 went up her nose??
