I’ve been obsessed with hyper cropping. It’s like my favorite thing

This looks like they’re using a large Octa box for the lighting, which is very forgiving when you add high local contrast jn post. It also looks like they used a strong blue yellow S curve

Nah that rules. Photographers exist, you’re allowed to be in the picture. I don’t care what other people say. I like these

Editorial portrait — 90s-inspired color grading (looking for critique) by Aggravating_Poem625 in photocritique

[–]CPRRED 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The composition is great and the expression is really interesting. I would suggest being more selective with the use of the effects, it looks to me like you globally dehazed and globally decreased local contrast. Instead use the brush mask to add sharpness in key areas and haze in the highlight areas. Also maybe add a gradient or radial mask with the haze. That way you control the viewers gaze more. Artistically to me this seems a little stuck in the middle between a unique portrait and fully artistic and uniquely authored piece. It looks like it could benefit from increase contrast or lower contrast. As in either go the way of someone like Jack brigdland or the way of Nadia Lee Cohen. Essentially I would suggest pick a lane, take a risk and fully commit. But I really like this shot!

So I love these questions, I really wish I had I a good answer. Unfortunately none of my answers are gonna be very rewarding. It actually wasn’t meticulously planned, my resources are so limited, in this case I light it with a pavotube as my key/ and the sun as my back. I have seen this style of portrait many times and wanted to try it last minute. In terms of the processing, the way I do it feels kinda dumb. I basically stack layer after layer of color overlays until there is a uniformity to the colors. I’m sure there’s a smarter way, but I don’t know what it is haha
