the composition in this one is all over the place, i really don't know what to focus on. the flash on the girl could be interesting if you had used it properly, but in this shot it's just distracting
>>238612
this one is pretty good, i like the contrasting colors of her hair and the wall

like them, the first one sucks ass, especially like number2
number 3 looks good, but it kind of flat, many details in background and on the subject

and yes i'd hit that
>> hekrob !NpuBFNCrvo
>>238619
foreshortening in this shot is really distracting and doesn't add much

are you even trying? this one is the sort of shit i would see on deviantart or myspace

yes, because people piss like that.

>> heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA
None of them are really working for me. The closest is actually
>>238621
But even that's too wide, too much wasted space. The mirror is interesting, do you have any tighter frames of that detail?

The tilt in this one IS disturbing, I must say.

>>238613
I like this one, but the guy adds nothing - especially in the shadows like that..

>>238615
This one is good.

>>238619

This one is cool.
The only thing I could think to change would be to have all the lighting white (dunno if it was possible there though)..

>>238637
thanks heaps for the critique Higgz
>> hekrob !NpuBFNCrvo
the one main thing i will suggest is that you try using your zoom in something other than the widest setting, it's apparent to me that it's not the ideal length for you
>> M?e?e?s?e??? !A0uuZYOj2M
Your model sucks.

These photos are all shit.
I can see why you normally shoot in B&W if your eye for color is this bad.

BUT I really like>>238615
The fucked up lighting works here.

The mirror shit is super gay though.

Hm. Don't much care for this one. Cute girl is cute, but I think her pose is way too awkward and the framing against that backdrop (which has definite potential, especially contrasted against her bright-ass pink hair) doesn't really work. You really need to try to keep in mind that your 10-22 has more than one setting--the only thing 10mm gives this shot is extra shit at the edges that distract from the composition.

>>238613
This one I dig.

>>238615
This one I also dig. More than the previous one, in fact.

Funnily enough I'm not uploading the mirror shot to dA.. haha.
I actually realise the guitar shot is utter shit, but I like it for unknown reasons.

Anyway, have one more.

Yeah, I'm all up in this bitch again. God help me.

So I guess all the newbies will see that I really liked two fifths of the pictures you posted and jump to the immediate conclusion that I want to suck your cock like in the past...

Also, I really like that last picture. I really like it and I'll tell you why: She's not wearing much clothing.

hi samefag

i think she actually looks fine... she's really fun to hang out with as well so shooting with her is awesome.
i don't really have a thing in general for goth'ish chicks or anything though.
>> beethy !vW/UaE6zYU
>>238699
i kinda like this crop..
what does /p/ think?
>> Sicko !L3HRY/miC.
First time giving critique so I doubt any of it will be helpful.

>>238612
I thought this looked good from the thumbnail, the colours are nice but the pose and tilt are awkward.

>>238613
Liking this.

>>238615
Looks good but that pose, what the hell?

>>238619
Bit too much space on the right for me and eh, it's always gonna be "just a chick playing guitar" I guess.

>>238621
Even if the whole broken mirror thing is pretty deviantart or whatever I rather like the effect, would be nice to see you revisit it with a bit less casual-ness I think, tidying away distracting bottles, having her do something interesting etc.

lol at model shots at 10mm

>>238703
thanks! some pretty helpful pointers there... and i think revisiting the broken mirror thing could be a good idea with more preparation and fleshing out the concept/story more so it's not just some meaningless bullshit 'DUR HURR BROKEN MIRROR' stuff.

I re-edited the guitar one same as anon posted...
Which one is better? Or are they both shit?

I think ultra wide is a very interesting and fun way to shoot people. Any distortion can be fixed in photoshop.
Don't be a fag.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>238699
I like it a lot better with this crop.

Which also backs up my thesis that Beethy should occasionally branch out from 10mm.

(Shame it's raeped by the crop+enlarge from an already low-res jpeg)

Cool, based on your opinion I'll re-upload the new one.

The right side of the pic is too heavy. The empty space doesn't work and the eye is distracted by the plaster. All of the lines in the picture are destroyed by the awkward angle and they too distract the eye. The girl also has some motion blur on the bent knee. This can't be your best shot...
>>238613
Bad lighting and fast shutter speeds never work when you have a model with long hair, it will always blur, and it did here. You had a wonderfull texture and lighting set up ont he left side of the frame. Thats where you should have placed the model. The right side would have had plenty of balance too it. Subject placement is key. You've got quite a bit of depth in the photo and having the subject so close compared to the depth of the street gives it a very uneasy feeling.
>>238615
I can see some vignetting caused by your flash.
To me this is just a snap shot, I see no redeeming qualities. The background is far more interesting than the subject.
>>238619
This has a certain Exposé feel to it. Kudos.
>>238621
Here it looks like the yellow light from the ceiling offset your flash. Get some lamps for indoor shoots like this and they'll be exquisite.
My only real complaint is the placement of random articles ontop of the mirror. If you're trying to show desparation you don't want to include any human comforts or anything that would hint as stability.

We don't get better until we break bad habbits.
Keep shooting. Regards.

Meh, the average shot you get with any alt fashion model... not for me

>>238613

Love the feel and the tones here, looks very much like a old photo in waiting, or a polaroid. One thing ruining it in her head, wtf is she doing with it, if she was just sat there, or smoking or something, this would be a killer.

>>238615

FANTASTIC!!!

Absolutely fantastic! has a very pro fashion shot look about it, this is amazing! well done

your friend/model or whatever just ruins these pictures for me. its not the hole SHES NOT A TEN THESE PICTURES SUCK THING because she has the potential to be pretty hot but i dont know something about her..... the leather pants dont help.


>>238613
i think would have been better if you had take the picture of the man walking instead of her
>>238615
i dont understand.... also to much vignetting on the bottom
>>238612
awkward pose.

wont bother with the dumb guitar picture because all i could focus on is "what the fuck who wears leather pants!"

>>238621
would be a lot cooler if she didnt look like the kind of girl who would punch her mirror ya know? a kind of ironic sorta picture? or something makes since to me.

this critique is kinda shitty sorry..... lol
>> heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA
No, I meant using lipstick in the next shot, if you're planning on reshooting it. The guitar pick really has no context in a bathroom. Well, sometimes I rock out while I take a shit, but besides that.

Yes you can.
On the flipside this'll cause straight lines to become bent.
But general pulling around the edges can be easily fixed (which is distortion).

I think there's too much distortion in this one, and you know i'm normally cool with your work. Everything just looks too awkward and unappealing- and the biggest thing i notice about them is her pink hair.

If you're referring to 690 having too much distortion.. doesn't really make any sense to me since it's a MEGACROP of the middle of the photo. But maybe there is and I'm not seeing it. I'm not very objective at all about my own stuff, haha
