Bride and Bridesmaids

[abovenormphotos]

Hi all. I'm seeking your critique on the following images that I'd like to share.

Please do let me know how you'd have approached this shoot and how you would have Post-processed the photos. Looking forward to hearing your sage advice!

Brief on shoot : A friend of mine asked if I would help her and her bridesmaids take a few photos of them well before the actual day. The girls just wanted to have some fun photos. Here are a few.

#1 - Hang on to me!

Great posing and concepts, looks like a really fun shoot. A few [very] minor thoughts: #2 seems a bit high in the red channel; #3 could use some perspective/distortion correction, the buildings seem to be doing their best 'leaning tower' impression; and overall, the blown sky/background is a bit distracting. A little more light on the subjects would have helped to knock that down.

Hi tirediron.

Thanks for dropping by with those observations!
Yeah, the girls were indeed having a whole lot of fun. In fact, there were many photos of them when they were fooling around that I've been forbidden to upload. Haha.

The red cast on #2 is due to a filter that I used on photoshop's 3D look-up filters. Probably need to revisit it. It is actually the same filter that I used for #1.

Thanks for pointing out the warped buildings in #3. That's my bad. Should have paid more attention to that!

Hi Vince, Thanks for dropping by!

Yeah you are absolutely right. Nice ladies with a good attitude certainly help when it comes to taking the photos!

I looked at these and they made me smile. Good job!
I like the concept of some of the poses, too.
It's always a BIG bonus when you get a group where everyone co-operates and looks good at the same time. Group shots can be a real nightmare.
