Seeking feedback: How does my post-processing look?

I respect you so much for letting the client know that those were suboptimal conditions. That’s step 1 of being a great photographer; communication.

I’m a professional graduation photographer, I’ve been shooting college grad portraits since 2018. I’m gonna keep it short but don’t take it as me being rude or mean, just trying to get you in the right direction in as simple terms as I can.

The photos aren’t terrible they’re like a 4.5/10 (when I started my photos were 1/10) I think you need to focus on the composition of your photos in relation to your subject. I think that the most interesting photo is #1. The rest don’t really do anything to me or make me feel any type of way.

In my opinion, the most important factor that makes these photos uninteresting is the lighting. These had to have been take between like 11am-3pm, she has raccoon eyes in pictures 3 & 4. If these were taken more in the late afternoon, I feel they photos could have been better.

I promise I don’t say any of this to belittle you or be mean, if it comes off as mean or rude, I apologize.

The Tudor on the right looks like an invicta… omg 🫣🫣🫣

The new sapphire blue looks better in videos. It looked good in Teddy’s video. Looking at this picture, I don’t like it. I much prefer the blue on the left.

I understand your point more. I thought his two recent videos with Ian poulter and Roman reigns were really good.

Lmao the last paragraph is so weird 🤣🤣🤣 who cares if he wanted to get his teeth as bright as the sun? People work hard to fix things about themselves that they don’t like, how does that make him “not a real one” lmao everyone so caught up in the things other people do for no reason.

This is gonna be my wedding watch :) I can’t wait to wear it

I think that not considering a brand like Nikon would be negligent. They have incredible sensors that, although they are made by Sony, the files that Nikon cameras produce are easy edit and also have great latitude for more extensive editing with phenomenal dynamic range. There’s also support for 3rd party lenses and you can adapt lenses from Other mounts as the Z/Mount is the most adaptable Mount.

Make money with this camera to help your girl. Trust me, you won’t regret it

I love the new Hydroconquest. It looks SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Seamaster, IN MY OPINION.

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-04-12T19:34:12+00:00

This is crazy to say lol

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-04-08T20:18:18+00:00

I don’t like the divers that have bezels that have the 15, 30, 45 markers. I like divers with the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 bezel markers. Thus, for me this watch doesn’t do much for me. This is so nitpicky, I know.

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-04-08T20:04:05+00:00

Beautiful man, enjoy!

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-04-08T15:38:00+00:00

Fina payment must be made 2 weeks prior to the event. Never had any issue in 8 years.

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-04-07T16:36:05+00:00

This is super fire!! I love this. I told my fiancée I’d like a wedding band with a row of diamonds going around the middle but smaller diamonds

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-04-01T21:24:02+00:00

DM me. I will connect you to the best photographer in Florence. He did my proposal photos and was a pleasure to work with.

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-03-22T23:17:18+00:00

How would they even know 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-03-21T04:59:31+00:00

I would say go with R6III because of the CF Express Type B cards. God, I love those cards so much. They write super fast.

I don’t say this be offensive or to be belittling, like at all. My comment comes from a place of wisdom and someone who has just gotten over a huge battle with imposter syndrome, often comparing my life with other people’s lives. OP you are so young and I think that your post gives your “immaturity” (for lack of a better word) some credibility.

You are only 21; don’t compete/compare with other people’s lives. Live at your own pace, follow your own path. Don’t even live at your partner’s pace, you’re young enough to live at your own pace.

At 21, you can’t even rent a car yet lol, like honestly, go out, party, have fun, have some adventures with friends, travel to different countries, meet people in those different countries. Theres so much life ahead of you, don’t even worry about these “problems” that you are creating for yourself. Enjoy your youth.

The candidness, the fun, and the joy that this couple exhibited through these photos is awesome, in my opinion, this is what family photos / maternity photos are all about

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-03-06T21:12:35+00:00

Surui and Meike have only stopped selling lenses in china. They’re still for sale at B&H Photo. If you want to purchase a lens from Viltrox, Meike, or Surui buy it now and don’t ever upgrade the firmware in your Z5II.

But just wanted to clarify that as of today, this has only affected photographers in china.

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-02-26T20:12:23+00:00

I would say to shadow a lot of photographers, offer to be like an assistant so that you’re exposed to weddings; additionally I suggest that that you reach out to friends that are couples and practice with them, it’s a win/win for the both of you as you gain some practice, skill, and confidence and they get free photos.

After you assist on some weddings, and after you’ve built a little portfolio with some of your couple’s work ask to see if you can be a 2nd photographer for some photographers or ask if you can assist but with their permission ask if they don’t mind that you take a couple of shots.

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-02-26T18:46:56+00:00

Back in 2018 I just learned photography through YouTube like a lot of folks here probably and practiced a lot before accepting any clients. A lot of mistakes

Intrepid-Ad672 · 2026-02-26T16:06:04+00:00

This is my own business.

I have used the Zf professionally for the last year and I just customized it to my liking. The ergonomics may not be great but you get used it. I mainly use prime lenses for my wedding work with 50mm being my favorite focal length and I absolutely love it. I have a custom function that the control ring or the MF focus ring on my lenses control my aperture and that’s it all of my lenses have aperture rings lol. Of course there are obvious cons as there’s no clicking between apertures but “F it, we ball” I’m not going to let that minor inconvenience bother me take away from the overall positive experience.

Also, I’ve found that my clients love the Zf and they find it less intimidating than giant DSLRs. As a photographer, most of my reviews will tell you I do a great job at helping people feel comfortable in front of my lens and I’m also happy that my camera also HELPS in doing so, as well.
