facebook pics for c&c

[darkchild]

I have been wanting to take full body pictures for someone for a while now, my friend was over at my house and he wanted some new pictures for his facebook, so i said, "Hey! Lets go take some pics!" so this is what i came up with, i know the focus is a bit off and i have been trying to improve on that, but besides that, what do you think of these pictures?

Why so stiff??

i agree with why so stiff
not a fan of the first one but really like the second one

Why so serious?

serious pictures = bad facebook pictures. facebook is meant for friends and family, have some fun happy ones not someone standing looking like they've lost a stick between the two back cheeks.

I agree, Facebook is a social site where people are supposed to have a good time and interact.

My buddy asked me to shoot a new FB profile picture for him on a whim while I was building some stuff for the wife. He came over to help... so I grabbed the camera and told him to grab my son's bike. It took me about 2 minutes to do this shot, then back to work.

His friends love it because it screams "him" as he's just that type of guy. Unless your buddy is a hitman or a mortician, you might want to try something a little different.

I also think that if they're facebook photos you need to have him filling up most of the shot. Everything is tiny on facebook, with lousy quality, so you don't want to be squinting at the screen trying to see who it is.

I totally agree with the stiff comments.

The second one is probably the better one, the first is a bit odd. The site is called facebook...face...book... so get his face closer to the lens and make the picture about him and not his suit.

he was going for a "hitman" look haha

he could have got that look without looking so...stiff as others have said. he could have posed 'hitman style' lol or have done something more with his expression....

 

[o hey tyler]

he was going for a "hitman" look haha

If that is the case, it's then vital that he should be brandishing a firearm of some variety, preferably one that is silenced or a sniper rifle.

As it is right now, he appears to be 4 members short of a boy band.

i got some with him holding his hand gun, the poses just weren't as good, cuz he can't hold a straight face so he was laughing in all of them lol, i'll get 4 other guys and take some boy-band shots next haha

I disagree with a lot of you. Silly, random shots seem to be the trend for fb profile pics but that doesn't mean his profile pic should be like that, that might actually misrepresent him.

I prefer the second one, maybe cropped a little
