Photography Post Vol. 2

[tsxser]

Trying to venture away from shooting fashion work for a while, really enjoying still life work.

^ That's so awesome!

I'm just curious (since I love your fashion work), what recommendations do you have for taking fashion photos? I keep trying but it seems like I just take lifestyle over and over again no matter how much I try to branch out to fashion. I have a potential shoot this sunday where I'll hopefully be able to capture a few fashion inspired photos.

lol picked up this sweet mask across the street from the Alamo. I'm thinking of doing a set with it.

told myself I'm going to wait a day to edit all the photos, but I had to at least put one up.. even if it isn't the best.

Thanks man! Sorry, just saw your post now. Advice: keep shooting and experimenting. Don't overwork yourself. I've thought of asking others the same question, thing is... Your style is your style. If you tend to be gravitating towards what you says "lifestyle," mold it into what you like.

Ah, ok, thanks a bunch! Yeah, I want to branch into fashion... hopefully I can be a lifestyle fashion photographer - going to need a lot more practice, lol.

Few images from the shoot this Sunday.

Jacob, I'm far from a fashion photography expert, but I've done two myself and lifestyle fashion shoots are definitely hip right now. I think you're on the right track

the post-process on this one is excellent. subtle yet noticeable.

Thanks I know I shouldn't say this, but my friends aren't models. I've been stalking MM in hopes of finding a few that I like and are willing to have a shoot... only time and practice will tell what I do. Also when I go off to college, I'm hoping that there are some advanced photography electives I could take.

Agreed. So much win with that photo. I really want to know how to do that as well.

Well unfortunately, you have to take the basic camera courses before you can go anything advanced. That's just the way it is, call it job security for the professors. I tried to test out or whatnot and I couldn't. Needless to say, it was a boring first semester lol. (I'm not saying I know everything I just know how to work a camera properly lol)

V-day dinner Happy Valentines y'all!

hnngggg that lobster tail.

[TheCreativeD00m]

oh man, it was so so good. I thought my wife seasoned it but it was just the natural flavor. I grilled the filets they were 3 inches thick and cut like butter.

so i really like pic #2 (best) and #4...not want you to misunderstand my point, but the other ones look like sth. is missing! that special ingredient (if you want to call it like that!) to make the pic interesting and special, so that the viewer want to know more about it and the things that are going on in the pic...most of all pic #2 is telling a little story imo, while the other ones are "just pics"...

hope you get what i´m trying to say?!...still nice work though

(shit, i really need to take out the cam again!)...

Heh - well if that's the case I wont take it as an elective. All I really want is access to a studio and if they have, the lights. I don't know if that's possible, but if it is that would be sweet.

Thanks R

Honestly, I love getting critique. Of the few I posted 4 was really the only one I truly like. #1 I just threw up to see what people would think, I definitely don't think that's one of the better shots from the day, #3 to me is ok, but I agree, it is missing something same with the last one.

[ThinFinn]

you know i love you don´t you...(no homo!)

btw. i´ve lost almost ALL OF MY ENTIRE PICS...external hd gone mad with just EVERYTHING on it! too damn bad!

so expect some new pics from soon

[laxlife1234]

Haha no worries! I can pretty much agree with what you said!

Dude stop buying your damn IH and buy some upgrades for your camera equipment! Or just take some photos already

[ThinFinn]

[laxlife1234]
