Bridal Portraits. Let me know what you think..

[Robin Usagani]

#1 is more like an art. Who cares if you cant see the face. It is like a landscape photo with a little personal touch. Just like a silhouette shot where you cant identify the person.

They're nice
But don't make Backlighting your one trick pony

what else would you like to see me add to my tricks?

Probably he meant more strobe work with blue sky.

Pasha, you are good man. Keep doing your thing. Your work is excellente!

That first one is a one of a kind you are really lucky to get once in a while and I would have put it last because after seeing that everything else is extremely boring.

There was no luck involved in taking this image under the tree. I think it's the bigger picture that you have to see. Imagine this photo as a canvas 20x30 or even larger... not your standard all transitional Bridal Canvas with your face.

Thank you. I have no Strobes in my arsenal of equipment. I try to use my flashes only at the wedding reception... (if I needed) usually later at night. Most of my photography is based on natural lights.. I thank you Schwettylens

I have no problem with #1 being centered.. however I do wonder how it would look with the tree more to the left?

Schwetty, if you are responding to my comment on photo #1, I'm not making the point that her face can't been seen. What I mean is that she is so small in comparison to the tree that I didn't even see her at first, which makes it hard for me to consider the shot a true "bridal portrait". That doesn't take anything away from the image.

I know this washed out color style is in now. Almost everyone is selling actions to create such style of wedding and portrait images. I would be very careful which one you use, or if you have created your own be careful not to blow out too much the skin tones. Just a tiny suggestion. Your compositions and ideas are bang on. Image treatment I would worrk on a bit more. Kudos. Keep on clicking.

Thank you so much for your input. Just visited your website.. WOW.. Next time you are running a workshop on editing, please let me know, I would love to attend.

Very nice! My ONLY complaint is that in the first few, the dress is really over exposed. I've noticed that a lot in bridal shots recently actually.

Sometimes when the screen is not professionally collaborated you might see more whites than anything. On my screen as well as on prints that we printed they all look properly exposed.

Me=jealous.

As for the 1st shot, not until I read the bride was in the image did I go back and find her...and then really appreciated the scene that much more. A couple of the crops rub me wrong but overall I really enjoyed them, I know she will forever.

Pretty. A bit overexposed but very nice. My screen is calibrated too.

Instead of giving a sarcastic answer, you could just say that the location determined that the tree be centered, because of distractions on the left, or whatever the reason was. Your photos are really great, but why do so many post photos for C&C, then get defensive when given C&C ?

absolutely stunning...
Such a romantic feel to them. What a beautiful bride too!
