First Attemps at Portraiture and More

08/17/2004 05:59:20 PM · #1

Hello fellow DPC-ers!
Today, me and my friend Jake (bigjvoltage) got together and decided to do some shooting. After some boring flowers and such, we came across a white backdrop (my garage) which I had been searching for in order to do some studio photography. So here are both of our first "real" attempts at both studio photography and portraiture. We "modeled" for each other. Critiques and comments encouraged. FEEDBACK PLEASE!!! SEND US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

My First Attempt

Jake's First Attempt

Now aside from that, we decided to have a little more fun in PS. Here are our digitally..."enhanced"...shots of the day.

So please givee us feedback (especially on the portraits). The more critical the better. As for "WYYT?!" with the digital photos....oh well!

Thanks a LOT!
Lee and Jake

P.S. ......................CHARLOTTE!

Edit: All photos taken with the Rebel. Tamron 28-200.

I think those are great first attempts... better than mine, that's for sure! I am actually most fond of the "Slightly Demonic" shot... the PS work is really good on that one, and I like the composition a lot. I also like how you got in really close in your portrait of Jake. Well done. The lighting on Jake's first attempt is a bit harsh, but that can be tweaked I'm sure... I haven't figured it out myself. Overall, good work! :o)
