great photos and colors but #14 is just weird to me.

I love 1,5,9, number 10 is a plus the reflection of the buildings is fantastic. Great shots.

Amazing photos! If I may ask, what were your post processing techinques?

 

[NateS]

Zeckson - Your work always leaves me stunned and this time I'm even more in awe. These are so great and your use of lighting, composition, and post processing is flat out incredible.

Do you do this for a living? I'd be shocked if you aren't photographing for some bigger stuff and if you aren't....you should be....like pro portraits for companies, etc....

Great shots...I love the third one with the water. It gives a great feel to the photo.

her face is great...i like her closeups.....and the bikini shorts are extremely cheering....congrats.

11... you made her foot look huuuge. Really detracts from the shot. Other than that awesome stuff.

Post processing techniques? Phew... It is gonna be a lot and definitely not worthwhile to write the entire workflow here but here are the basic ideas:

1. Get all global adjustments done correctly (colors, white balance, sharpness, etc)

2. Focus on the small individual details (getting rid of pores, scratches, etc.)

3. Enhance overall image (blend modes, dodge and burns, etc.)

4. Reduce noise

5. Selective sharpening (small fine details)

And there you have it. Go try it and experiment.

Nate, unfortunately this is not my main occupation. I have a day job, photography is just my hobby which I really love doing. I am not afraid of going full time professional but it is how to get the customers that I am afraid of. There are already many in this world fighting for the same piece of cake. I don't wanna add to that pressure, at least not now.

Also, no money to get good gears. I am only using my D80. When you are pro, customers would expect you to come with full professional gears. I don't give customers the confidence when I show my D80... Ha ha ha ha.

Great shots...I love the third one with the water. It gives a great feel to the photo.

Thanks for your comments. That is one of my personal favourite as well.

Thank you for your comments. It gives me encouragement when my works are being appreciated.

11... you made her foot look huuuge. Really detracts from the shot. Other than that awesome stuff.

Ha ha ha ha. So it does huh? Okay, sorry that it didn't work for you on that part but thanks a lot for your comments on your appreciation of my images.

I don't think they would care if you were using a kodak point and shoot camera once they saw your portfolio....I know I wouldn't. Stunning work as always and if you ever turned pro, I think it would be a very smooth transition for you. :thumbup: as always.

amazing
but the last one looks tooo long

 

[giorgia]

her position in pic eleven is odd ... she looks a little stubby. maybe she should have been in a position that would enhance her forms instead of squashing them ...
i like the first pic. i love her expression and the icy atmosphere

Don't be afraid to use the gear you have. If the customer judges you by the size of your lens, they aren't interested in quality.

I use a D50 for everything I've ever taken, and some photos that have been seen online by thousands of people. No one has ever said "Well, nice photo but I can tell you use an outdated 6 megapixel camera."

(To be fair my work has been critiqued a great deal, but not my camera! )

i agree with the foot on #11...but the rest are GREAT!

number 9 takes it for me.:thumbup:
