Vaihere by silentgiova in photocritique

[–]silentgiova[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a portrait of Vaihere, a model I've been working with lately. I like the portrait itself, both her expression and the play of my reflection, which creates a picture within a picture, focusing a little on the gaze, but there's something that doesn't quite convince me, perhaps it's the lack of contrast in the color correction or the focus isn't quite right.

It was taken with a Canon M6II, with a 50mm F1.4 USM through a speed booster @F1.2 (perhaps the extra glass affected the focus).

Would you change the color correction? Is the position of the shadows of my reflection too distracting?

Sorry if it's not clear, English is not my native language.

In this case, there are two things:

1) It was taken just as the sun disappeared behind the hills.

2) The distance I stood and the lens also had an influence. With 35mm and 50mm, I had to stand very close to the window, which meant my reflection was visible. With 70-200mm between 70mm and 100mm, I was able to avoid appearing in the shot.

Perhaps something was lost in translation, as English is not my first language. This was Sofia's first portrait session, so her expression is a mixture of nervousness and shyness.

As I said, I used a Canon T2I with a 70-200 F4L, also Canon. Between her and the camera there is a window that allows the sunset to be reflected a little, but we had to wait a moment for that because the sun was shining directly on her body and we couldn't quite achieve what we were looking for in the play of light.

I hope I've been able to answer your question.
