Photography Post Vol. 2

[TheCreativeD00m]

Shameless self plug in a way but I just re did my Tumblr to have all my photos on a separate page and have been updating a lot lately! http://michaeljjcc.tumblr.com/photography  I really really want to make a name for myself through photography and could use some advice/critique. I know my photos are nothing special and I still have a lot to learn but I am happy with what I've posted and maybe you guys could hep me to be better through tough critique.      

off topic, do you own a first gen rx7? I used to have the gsl-se fully built for auto X it was a badass car. Sold it to a friend who eff it up by putting a infiniti motor in it

 

Have you checked for photography associations in your area? They would offer support, networking, critique, etc. In person critique is different for me because you're in the room with the person, there's more of a constant flow of input and output, and its nice to see from a perspective of someone who doesn't "get it" or has a completely different style. The best part is most are working professionals.

Sadly that sweet whip belongs to a good friend of mine, He and his girlfriend both have the dopest RXs. They're rad cars, I'm sorry for your loss.

 

Thank you for the info though! I'll fer sure look into it, I'm in an area ruled by painters so hopefully they have some network I could linger off of!

I took this photo in 2010 before I was even interested in photography. I took it on my friends Nikon d5000 and we found it on his old hard drive. I'm pretty proud of taking it considering I had no idea what I was doing at the time.

@lax- Lovely portraits. I like the fact that she still has natural texture in her skin rather than an airbrushed and faux smoothness. The lighting is striking and calm and the pops of color mixed with cooler tones in the set is refreshing to see. Killer shots dude.

The lighting in Tokyo is just good like that! No, but my experience from living in Tokyo for 6 months and doing a lot of photography is that is alot of the time slightly overcast. Soft lighting like you can see in his pictures.

 

But technicaly the exposures seems to be on point and the editing looks good. What I usually do when wanting pictures like that is that I shoot it as flat as I can get it. and I adjust the luminance of the colors to get that soft look.

I think its a combination of good lighting as Marw said and his style of PP. You could try lowering clarity without making your pictures pasty, then set your highlight and black points in curves. I can't see all his pics because my net is capped but from what I can tell it looks like he sets his highlights quite low. In terms of colours he probably backs of on vibrance more than saturation.

got a few rolls developed yesterday

^ Spectacular. Particularly like the first two as the contrast is so harsh in #1 and the composition is spot on and in #2 the lighting is so soft with a mix of chilly and warm.

 

What did you shoot with? 

[(10chars)]

Thanks! The first three are with a Nikon FE2 and the fourth is with an Olympus Stylus Epic. The bw is Kodak Tri-X 400 and the color is Fuji Superia 800.
