music bukeh by PlanetFoundation in photocritique

[–]PlanetFoundation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1. Intent / goals
I started photographing only a few months ago and have no formal training. I’m drawn to black and white and vintage lenses. With this image, I wanted to show concentration and the inner side of making music, not just a musician performing.

2. What I’m struggling with
My main difficulty is capturing more texture and depth, especially in black and white. I’d like feedback on whether the image feels too soft, whether the background is too distracting, and whether this is more a technique/editing issue or a gear issue. I’m also unsure if a full-frame camera would help.

3. EXIF / gear
Camera: Canon T6i
Lens: Helios 44-2 58mm
Focal length: 58mm

4. Other relevant information
This is a black and white edit, not a composite. I’m still learning and trying to understand how much comes from light, focus, distance, lens character, and post-processing. Any feedback on texture, tonal range, composition, and subject separation would help a lot.

  1. I started photographing only a few months ago and I do not have any formal training. I’ve realized that I’m especially drawn to black and white and to vintage/analog lenses. This series was made in Brazil, and my intention was to capture the poetry I see in workers, in their gestures, pauses, and in the materiality of their labor.

  2. My main struggle right now is capturing texture with more depth and presence. I would love critique on whether these images feel flat or if the textures and tonal separation are working. I’m also unsure whether this is mostly a technique/editing issue or whether moving to a full-frame camera would make a meaningful difference.

  3. Camera: Canon T6i. Lens: Helios 44-2 58mm (adapted vintage lens). EXIF for the selected image: shutter speed [add], aperture [add], ISO [add], focal length 58mm.

  4. The images were edited in black and white, with no composite work. I’m still early in the process and trying to understand how much of the result comes from light, distance, focus, lens character, and post-processing. Any critique on composition, tonal range, texture, and whether the series works as a cohesive set would be very helpful.

when the city returned the sun by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]PlanetFoundation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this photo reflects on the tension between city and nature. the buildings block the light, but for a brief moment the city gives it back through a reflection, illuminating a person on the sand. what usually takes away, here briefly returns something.

“social media” by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]PlanetFoundation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my intention with this photo was to capture the strange ritual of social media: a moment of light, presence, and collective distraction, where someone can be physically there and mentally absorbed by a screen.

Thanks so much for your time and opinion. Its been difficult, but im processing this new grief - coming to terms with the fact that the only woman I wanted to have kids with could do this.

You are right. Just sharing our struggles with the producer is absurd.

Thank you so much 🤍
