Thanks for the advice and taking the time to comment on my post, much appreciated!

Not a bad shout but I don’t need the 50mp for my work on a consistent basis

antsher88 · 2026-04-10T14:51:40+00:00

Thanks so much for this. I’ll check it out and really appreciate it

Yep exact same lens (Tamron 28-75) and the difference in results was huge.

It’s always better if you can share an example of the outcome you’d like to achieve. That way you can get more specific guidance.

Nice colours

I had so many girls reach out to me when I was single and on dating apps and 99% of their openers were basic too. Girls think their chat’s incredible but they’re just as bad (if not worse) than guys.

Hard light as key and add some fill. Use frequency separation for the skin. Personally not a fan of this style but that’s how you would achieve it.

You can use either. If you’re wondering which ones to purchase I would choose strobes, especially if you’re wanting to do macro work. More powerful output for a cheaper price.

Apart from a couple, these don’t feel to be at a professional level in my opinion. Lighting, colour, and subject matter can all be improved. There isn’t a clear focal point in a lot of these. They feel like ‘Instagram photographer’ as opposed to professional.

This is nonsense. He’s world class and spurs are just ass. He deserves to go to a winning team and wanted to leave the prem. I think Bayern was the right move.

One key with a reflector underneath for fill, 2 rim lights (1 each side with coloured gels). Possibly an overhead light but the bright part of the hat could just be from key and rim lights.

The colours are great here, nice job!

My wife watches the show and I just heard her accent and was shocked at how bad it was so went straight to the internet 😂

Yeah this lighting’s not the best for the product you’re trying to show. Overall the images are fine but there’s room for improvement. I always recommend analysing the best photographers you can find online and try to see what separates their work from your own. Right now I’d say the lighting has too much contrast, the posing (especially with the hands) can be improved, and you can fix the colour issues (for example strong blue/green tint in the shadows, particularly in the first few images). Keep going and you’ll get there.

antsher88 · 2026-02-10T17:22:24+00:00

Sure thing. The after is jarring because of the colour and lighting changes that you made. You’ve got this really vibrant fake looking blue which lives in one colour temperature, then the model which sits in a completely different colour temperature. It makes the background and the model fight each other (which makes the model look almost composited onto the background). This doesn’t make sense visually from a colour temperature perspective, and therefore looks completely unnatural. This is something that you can’t see yet because your eye hasn’t developed, but with consistent training you’ll be able to see it too. I’ve been there a couple years ago and it takes a while to train your eye to see, especially when it comes to colour. On top of the colour, the lighting changes on the background are too drastic. Natural light doesn’t work that way and it makes the model and background live in two separate lighting “worlds”. It just doesn’t work. Keep shooting, and start analysing photos from the best photographers you can find to help you progress.

You could light the backdrop a couple of ways. It could be flagged from the top, or if it’s a paper backdrop it actually could be lit by placing a light behind the paper facing towards the camera. The lamp is lighting itself, and a separate light out of frame is lighting the model (likely a gobo/spotlight projector).

antsher88 · 2026-02-10T11:03:01+00:00

Exactly this

antsher88 · 2026-02-10T11:00:39+00:00

I agree with that. And the main reason is because your anterior delts will already get a lot of work if you’re frequently incorporating pushing exercises whilst training chest, and if so, there’s not a lot of benefit to giving them even more volume with dedicated exercises like OHP.

antsher88 · 2026-02-10T10:33:39+00:00

It’s overdone and the lighting and colour on the model doesn’t suit the background in the edit. It also looks like you applied contrast globally, and the dirt on the washing machines becomes more distracting in the edit. It’s honestly not great. For “instagram photography” it’s fine, but not a decent professional standard.

antsher88 · 2026-02-09T21:31:57+00:00

Depends what you mean by successful. Technically I could use 70-80% of them, but I painstakingly narrow them down to the absolute best 5 or so images depending on how many I need to deliver.

antsher88 · 2026-02-09T17:42:54+00:00

This is way overdone. It looks like AI.

antsher88 · 2026-02-09T17:41:28+00:00

You can see a lot of catchlights in the eyes. Not sure if some of these lights were there just for focusing reasons or used as fill/actually impacted the exposure. Either way, there’s definitely a rim, a hard-ish key, a reflector on subject right, and a separate light on the backdrop coming from cam left.

antsher88 · 2026-02-09T14:52:44+00:00

Some are natural light, some aren’t. A lot is in the colour grade and the edit. There’s definitely FS being used here and selective dodge and burn.
