The Girl Who Can Alter Time Flow ~ Chloe Leen

[JohnKokWithAdSLR]

Im a newbie, I now shoot using Av mode and spot focusing

I am not a flashguy so all of my shots are done using ambient light

This is Chloe Leen, shes got a real time altering feel to her

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

C & C welcome, please be harsh as possible, I wish to learn

EXIF
#1 - 1/80, f2.8, ISO 400, 50 mm
#2 - 1/80, f2.8, ISO 400, 50 mm
#3 - 1/80, f2.8, ISO 400, 50 mm
#4 - 1/125, f2.8, ISO 800, 50 mm

Scientifically Artistic Side of Things

I am mainly here for technical improvement but please allow me the opportunity to share a little bit about my actual work.

All these photos that I posted all along are actually from my invention of an article that I hope can help us, through pictures and words, understand another person to a certain degree.

The full article for Chloe Leen is here -> Chloe Leen

After reading the article and looking at the photos, please try to use all of the emotions and impressions generated by them to, in your mind, reconstruct an individual. If what you have constructed in your mind is at least 10 % of the real person then my experimental article is on the right track.
I would be grateful for any feedback at all as they are valuable for my experiment’s progress. Thank you ;-)

I really like #3, I think that it has a feel and story to it.
Her skin tone changes from photo to photo.

Wonderful image

But in most of the exposure light in the background is a plus, I think, a result of slow shutter

Try to use the shutter speed

1 / 200

Backlight to avoid significantly

hmm ... but wouldnt the subject be underexposed instead ?

 

[ghaith.salih]

Lighting in the place is very beautiful and symmetric so it will not be a underexposed, especially with the use of lens aperture slightly larger

Without fill flash, changing the exposure to 1/200 is just going to make the scene underexposed. If the OP had a way to equalize the exposure with additional lighting, it would be a different story.

Since your using all natural light, going to a faster shutter speed will deffinetly change the exposure on your subject and make it darker. It will also make your embient light darker.
In that lightning situation, i wouldnt use a faster shutter speed since i think the background and subject look great exposed that way, these shots are really nice.

That is one of the downfalls of not using flash. You can't expose for the background and subject, you have to compromise someplace. I think you did a wonderful job of that here.

hmm ... well ... worth a try

hmm maybe can use a reflector or something, need to buy one

thank you very much =)

the thing is, wether the subject darker or brighter, both would make two very different pictures with two very distinctive feelings to them, then again, we must consider wether or not this difference in emotive quality is a valid point of consideration or not

indeed, unless i buy a reflector lol I thought about buying it months ago but somehow didnt manage to get my ass off the couch and actually buy one XD

thank you very much =) I will try even harder on my next shot
