Hi guys...back again:greenpbl: Anyway this time i am wanting critique & comments on a little idea of mine. Basically i am in the process of setting up a small home based portraiture business.... nothing huge (so don't stress!!!), just friends, family and the good old word-of-mouth thing... So as well as general portraits, i am also wanting to offer make-over shoots..... Kinda like 'glamour photography' without all the satin, big hair and soft lenses! Am struggling with what i should call it????? I think if i say 'glamour photography' people will automatically think of the above.... I did make-up artistry for a few years and also love hairstyling, hence why i thought of offering this. Pretty much helping people look their best in a fun model-style portrait shoot?? Any ideas???? Especially on what to call it appreciated!!!! Here is my first attempt...
#1.. the 'before' shot xx
#2...
#3...taken inside using a canon 420?ex speedlight flash, bounced off ceiling... kinda looked too dark to me - i dont like the overall colour - but i really suck at flash photography so not sure! Give me some natural light anyday!!!
#4...same here, bounce flash
#5...natural window light
#6...the sun kept sneaking in & out from behind clouds and was pretty bright in this one.... really liked it in b&w - a bit 'magaziney' ? though but not sure if it is 'acceptable' in the professional world???
#7...i suppose this one is too dark but for some reason it is one of my favourites? not sure why or if the nose shadow bothers me too much, just something about it that i love??!!
All of these pics were shot using my Canon 350D with 50mm 1.8lens... Full manual mode, shot in raw and converted using my zoombrowser software... some photoshopping done but must ask Mommyof4boys what tools she uses to airbrush!! Thanks for looking and for any feedback:heart:
