recent shoot

[ghache]

The_traveler did it right (besides pushing it a little too far for my taste on the background there). These shots are really nice. I see tack sharp and well lit images. They just need some work and a bit of contrast, some blacks. you know, these little sliders in light room. They look flat, look like unedited raw files. Other than that you got good shots to work with, interesting subject.

How about some context; "a shoot" doesn't give us much of an idea of the intent of the work, and that could well take the editing suggestions in a whole different direction.

No 1 has too much noise on the background (the hatch, smth that looks like a rubbish bin etc), the edge of the building goes right behind the guy, so it is also disturbing: the subject has one background on his left and completely diferent one on his right. And I do not like the way the gray asphalt interacts with the colorful walls - it is like B&W photo stitched to a color one. So I would have sacrificed hip shoes and go for safer crops even if it does mean cutting the limbs. (Note No 3 - it was cut just a little bit below and it looks more tidy, no cut hands)

OP, you didn't do so badly, when everyone is lined up to produce their own edits of your shots you know that there's some potential in them! - Take it as a compliment.

all of them were 2 light setups. one bare strobe on the side for the highlight and one in a shoot-through umbrella for the fill
