Agreed.. I'm going to have to take a look and see if I missed it or made it too soft in post.Hello and welcome, the first one looks very soft.......
ThanksVery nice!
Thanks for the compliment. The first was such a nice expression I couldn't leave it out. Ended up being the parents favorite.I think you did extremely well. While the first might not be razor sharp,I think it looks extremely good, and your second shot is spectacularly good. I think that extreme sharpness is often quite overrated.
I think that within a few years these will become treasured family memories. Really quite good.
Thanks, this is from an official unpaid practice shoot; if that makes sense. I'm an amature photographer aspiring to go pro in a year or so if I feel I've reached a level to provide value to clients. This shoot was a planned shoot and not intended to be snapshots. I love natural light and candid moments.Beautiful toddler, cute poses and nice lighting! I like the way the boardwalk frames her face. Are these part of a paid shoot or is this practice or your family?
I agree about candid shots, and that is definitely one of my main goals, however, I am frankly put off by photographers who claim to be "natural light" photographers. I nearly downgraded my evaluation of your portraits simply because of my extreme prejudice against that term and methodology. (it's in the thread's title)I love natural light and candid moments.
Is that harsh?
Is that harsh?
Yes, but it’s also true. Not specific to the OP or these photos, I agree with most of what you said. Good advice - blunt but well intentioned. I also know how hard it can be to understand and use flash/strobes/artificial light - it’s a big step. Definitely something worth spending time on.
