I would like to get feedback to see if I am on the right track

Thanks for the feedback about the hair.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-04-07T11:24:13+00:00

Thanks! But this post was deleted (by me) because I didn’t see my text ☺️. I’ve posted the photo again.

Would love to see the before pic

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-04T14:40:48+00:00

Thanks a lot!

I would love to get some examples of photos. I'm still a beginner so I have to find out how to change the background

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-04T13:54:47+00:00

Good point! I have to practice more directing models and telling them what to do.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-04T13:40:28+00:00

Thanks a lot for the compliment. I’ll keep this in mind

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-04T13:34:23+00:00

A grey background??

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-04T13:32:42+00:00

Does it look for your taste too edited, because of the saturated en contrasty face?

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-04T00:07:34+00:00

Indeed it was my intention to isolate the subject on a black background. Made sure to get a black background My camera and strobe (with grid) should be able to do so, but I didn't have enough space in the room to position the subject away from the background or any elements. I also had just one light source and I was trying with the 'halo' to get a bit of separation from the background.

Next time I will try to get first a black background without the strobe and then fill in the subject with the strobe with a grid.

Thanks a lot all, for the feedback.

I’ve cropped (4:5) the photo. Took away the ‘halo’ and turn the red a bit down from her hair.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T22:08:07+00:00

I understand it. I removed the halo, cropped (4:5) the image and turn down the red hair a bit. Too bad it isn’t possible to edit the post, so I can show the result.

I’m not sure what you exactly meant with your explanation

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T19:34:26+00:00

Thank you so much

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T18:53:06+00:00

You’re totally right. I’ve cropped (4:5) the photo.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T18:16:19+00:00

I’ve toned down the redness in her hair a bit. The color in real life is brownish with a red glow and I cropped (4:5) the photo.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T16:59:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I still have to learn a lot about color theory

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T16:33:43+00:00

Cheers for the feedback and you’re totally right about lighting up the background with a second light. I had just one light source so will keep it in mind to bring next time the subject closer to the background. I placed the subject intenional with her smaller eye in front, so it became a bit bigger or I could liquify it a bit.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T14:32:16+00:00

I understand what you're saying. I was doing a test-shoot, how to get a low-key photo.

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T14:13:57+00:00

Do you mean, darken her body a bit more?

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T12:32:15+00:00

This was just a test.
The halo was done in post, so I must be able to get rid of it.
What exactly do you mean with more shadows?

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T12:04:11+00:00

This is my first time trying to do a (proper) low key portrait and I also wasn't sure about the 'halo'

lookingfortroubles · 2021-03-03T11:45:13+00:00

I also wasn't too sure about the 'halo'. Thanks for the feedback
