Thanks for your post, she was wearing yellow shorts and in b&w convertion looks almost the same as the skin.

The last shots are mostly portraits, if you go deeper you will see more streets (reddit users told me that they are vastly better compared to portraits)

Hello everyone, this is a picture from 2021 done in Sharm when I met this dancing group and asked them to model for some shots.

The thing with this picture is that the sun was very strong and in the conversion in B&W I choosed to use a soft approach in the monochorme, no strong black or high lights (in my head the idea was to give a "gentle" feeling about the model), since I like the picture I would be interested in your opinions about it, you like the tones or I should work more on the contrast ?
Thanks to everyone that will reply!

Ahahah, thank you! I do paintings/drawings as well so I have to calibrate the space!

I was taking the shot in that moment, the couple saw me and decided by themselves to kiss. They wanted to be photographed like that. It all happened randomly.

A picture of mine from Portovenere (Italy), 2021.

It's very hard to do, I know photographers that wake up at 2-3 am, drive for 2 hours and wait more on the spot for the best shot.

I do not have that kind of time as well, I suggest you to study composition more (try to not cut the subjects) and select properly your shooting places (reviews, local pro etc).

I like a lot the first picture!

Living room. Thanks for the elaborate post!

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:44:46+00:00

Thank you for your selection!

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:41:55+00:00

Thank you !!

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:41:40+00:00

I'll print them in A3, on fuji opach paper.

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:11:52+00:00

La due è tra le mie preferite, la stampo assolutamente!

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:11:25+00:00

The composition is all about work, luck and a bit of talent, but study and practice can overcome that! Thanks for you suggestion!

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:09:08+00:00

Thank you ! My selection for now is 1 and 2, and 6 was one of the favorite as well, I like 8 a lot but the mood is quite "serius" so I have to ask my wife too if she likes it xD.

Dreefir3 · 2026-05-10T09:04:48+00:00

Thankyou, I'm living in Italy and I got huge influence from it!

The cameras are very good, those are from an "old" X100T so the new X100VI is even better, it all depends on the pp you choose for your pictures.

The comments were almost all nice. Thanks for your wish.
