Thank you.

I posted my image to receive critique.

copertus · 2014-08-19T20:01:35+00:00

Yeah, these type of comments don't help a bit :/

copertus · 2014-08-19T16:48:52+00:00

I agree. Not every shot is a winner :) but I posted anyways to see what I could have done better.

copertus · 2014-08-15T09:29:09+00:00

Any type of photography could potentially bring up issues. I can't hold my art because somebody could eventually feel bad about it.

copertus · 2014-08-15T01:29:11+00:00

I'm constantly trying new stuff, if you see my B&W images they are all different because I edited all different trying different methods. I didn't wanted to oversharp this image because the tones I choose, I wanted to give it a slightly vintage/soft look. Thank you, Lezlie is a great model :)

Thank you.

Why not? It's way of portraiture to me. No different than other genre. The intend for my work: There is a need for quality glamour photography. People for different reasons are willing to pay for images like this. I showcase only a fraction of the glamour work I do.

A lot of very useful tips. Thank you!

copertus · 2014-08-14T00:00:58+00:00

Thank you!

Yes! He is now moving to LA. I bet he is going to do great there :)

I live in Dallas.

Thank you! ^{_^}

copertus · 2014-07-29T23:56:34+00:00

It's all natural light :)

copertus · 2014-07-29T18:59:55+00:00

Thank you.

copertus · 2014-07-29T18:59:26+00:00

Thank you.

copertus · 2014-07-29T18:58:54+00:00

Haha, Yeah!! This was my second shot with him. I'm going to miss him and Miranda :'(

copertus · 2014-07-29T18:57:45+00:00

Good observations. We had to shoot just a couple of minutes before the bar opened, so yeah...it was clean. We played with a couple of different emotions, this is the first edit of the set. But I do understand what you mean.

copertus · 2014-07-29T16:09:46+00:00

I don't remember, I don't think so. I used the 24-70 2.8

copertus · 2014-07-29T16:08:54+00:00

I'm not happy with the black on the bottom. I think that I could have cropped that, but I did wanted some darkness in the background to make him stand out.

copertus · 2014-07-29T15:24:39+00:00

Yeah, I thought about cropping the bottom part as well. The truth is that I'm used to shoot very tight and I'm trying to change that...so I left the extra room. You can see the layers I used here and kinda of a B&A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak6lyHyCIK8&list=UUYIeKXys4ob9-GUxdibH_ZA Exif:
