Sam/more from the window

Alexandra · Jan 21, 2006

What more could I ask for? My fave spot, a great friend...
So meet Sam, my favorite (and only) model.

If anybody feels like this belongs in the portraits, feel free to move it

Also, i'll post it in the critique gallery so that you can all let it go and rant on the lighting. but if you have any crit right now, just post it here, i'll be glad to hear it

Good shot. Like the blue light, gives it a cold feel. like most student flats! Dont mind the blown out light either makes it more moody

Alexandra · Jan 21, 2006

thank you guys for the nice comments!

Joe: sadly he only dropped by for like 5mins... i gotta find some docile buddy to duct-tape them to the board :lol:

Yeah, its better, I would personally go a little bit darker, which of course means it is probably at the right spot

Alexandra · Jan 21, 2006

did you boost the saturation or something? it looks a little brighter, in the colored areas.. and i really like it

thanks!

Great shot. He looks like a potentially excellent model (laid back personality maybe?). I'd personally opt for a horizontal crop and no darkening - I think that it would work because you'd lose some of the negative space at the bottom, a considerable amount of the top, but keeping the important things - him and the window. Also, he's nearly horizontal.

Still, I'm mad, as you know.

Great shot!

i prefer your original

MommyOf4Boys · Jan 21, 2006

I prefer the original as well...nice shot Alex!!

Alexandra · Jan 21, 2006

guys, thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

I'm also more into the original, but it was pretty much PSed too, lol.

Rob: that guy's a terrific model. he IS laid back, but above all, he does whatever i tell him to, which IMO is the prior quality :lol:
