Man... you know your lighting, mark of a pro.

Thanks! Yeah, you might not believe this, but I only use one external flash...

and it's mounted on top. I know how to bounce light well because I was fucking poor when I started and had to learn with what I had.

Now that I have the funds, I'm still very minimalistic.

The extreme vignetting, probably pp, is really off-putting. Lighting is a little harsh and overexposing, but I've seen worse.

I actually had blueberry cheesecake for dessert at lunch/dinner today. Then I completely failed to take a picture of the cute waitress despite having gotten a perfect opening, because I fail hard.

Recommend reading the faq on tripcodes if you plan to stay here and plan to keep using a name.

Depressed Cheesecake is another poster here. I think he's pretty good, but his shots are a bit on the repetitive side.

op here. Yeah, this is totally a grab bag of the last couple months where i've been trying to switch up my style. You can tell that its pretty harsh and grainy in some like the original but soft in the ones like the second image and the old lady on the orange.

Much appreciated!

These are the most recent while the others are way older. I do feel like the vignette is a little TOO shoop'd but feel like I can learn to do it more subtly eventually with a lil more work.

Probably a lot more people too. At least people that deserve the minor dignity of being called people.

I live a couple of hours south of Birmingham, closer to Selma. Shitsucks here. The majority of white people here are racist, majority of black people are jaded against whites because of said racism, and EVERYONE gets pissy if you take their picture because you're somehow violating their rights and they deserve money for it.

the only 2 i like. the subjects look very interesting and the lighting is spot on there.
but the rest (and overall) are.. just.. the same shit. they don't stand out at all against the ones i highlighted.
do you have photos of anything other than studio shots of people's faces?

If you replace "black" with "native" and "white" with "non-native" that's a decent description of where I live in Canada...[Well, except for the level of racism, and the pissiness].

When I was on vacation in the UK last summer I never had any problems taking photos of people [but we're a cute Canadian couple and it seemed like we could get away with a lot anywhere except godforsaken Liverpool]...except for the cops with MP-7s. They just wanted to make sure their faces weren't included, lol.

Oh, and on topic - nice cat.
