Recent Portrait Thread

The lens is focused on her tits, not on her face. Relatively bad mistake.

I think the pose is overall pretty good, as is her hair makeup and clothing.

In a perfect shot, there would be more light on her face but then you need a dedicated light for shooting. Looks like you just used a lamp that was already next to the bed.

Is this your one portrait? It's generally frowned upon on 4chan to create a thread if you only have one thing to contribute.

>inb4 "b-b-but it's a general!!"

>>3027758
I have more.

>>3027773
Post more.

>>3027756
Actually, no lamp or artificial lighting of any kind. Just natural light from the window to the right.

She had white walls which helped the cause.

>>3027778
Dude wtf happened to her chin? It doesn't even look like the same girl

>>3027749
There's already a portrait thread >>3016024 Also nice one starting a thread with an out of focus shot faggot. Decent comp and pose though.

>>3027779
I know, i didnt give her this copy. Her jaw line is a little rounded in person. This one I had fun with.

Are those all the portraits you have?

wow 2 portraits

at least tell us you banged her after

>>3028473
you are too close to her, use a less wide focal length

>>3027778
this one looks better than the other one, her face looks better as well because you shot her from higher up here

>>3028473
its as if you lit, shot, and edited this specifically to highlight all of her worst facial features and one of the worst makeup jobs I think I have ever seen.
I find this photo intimidating. I opened it in a new tab and pressed f11 for full screen and I had a physical response. Literally repulsed, I am still centimeteres too far away to type this naturally. Its the combination of the low perspective, it being so intimately close, if you look at her chest and hands it feels playful and embracing, but look up and you just see those harsh angles, almost blocky color sections, scary unrelatable facial expression and you get zinged and take a step back, which is among the things you can do better next time.

>you are too close to her, use a less wide focal length
but wouldnt that mess with her face aesthetics? I'm already at 50mm, anything lower than that should cause distortion, rite?

>>3029693
>its as if you lit, shot, and edited this specifically to highlight all of her worst facial features and one of the worst makeup jobs
In my defense I didn't configure the lights for this shot, I'm doing a shitty portrait course and the teacher changed the light settings for every "model", also in her defense and my defense she wasn't a model and didn't prepare for a shooting session, she was just one of the persons that happened to be there and was willing to collaborate at the moment of the shooting.
>but look up and you just see those harsh angles, almost blocky color sections, scary unrelatable facial expression and you get zinged and take a step back, which is among the things you can do better next time.
What would have you done to make this better? honest question

>>3029844

her nose looks like its about to burst through the goddamn screen. When he says less wide he means longer focal length which will remove distortion and "flatten her face"

>When he says less wide he means longer focal length which will remove distortion and "flatten her face"
I know what he means, what i'm trying to say is that I'm already at my maximum allowed focal length with this lens and I cannot do much about it, I could be farther away from her but I couldn't do it in the shot because there were a shitload of people trying to take pictures of her so I did the best I could with what I had
Here is a different image, that I could take from a further distance, criticism continues to be welcomed

Is there anything more to taking portraits than being able to get the eyes in focus, while making everything else bokeh'ed the fuck out, and hoping that the subject happens to have a natural looking expression/pose at the moment u press dat shutter?

no, you should've gone to let's say 85 or 100mm and taken the shot from a few steps back

>>3031171
you are making it sound easy like that. also your model needs to be interesting looking or hot

>>3031171

Talk to them. You're not gonna get a natural reaction from someone who's awkwardly standing there waiting for you to say "ok i'm done"

Carry a conversation while you're shooting, particularly about a subject they're passionate about and you'll start to see genuine reactions.

Same can apply for different emotions, just carry a convo based on the tone you want to portray

>>3031197

Samefag, obviously this applies if it's someone you know or if you're up to talking to a stranger before a shot.

If you're doing candid shots, you kinda have to watch the person and follow their patterns until you get them doing something genuine

>>3027778
Dat noise tho

>>3029844
>but wouldnt that mess with her face aesthetics?

She has to have face aesthetics for that to matter...

>>3031262
>>3031186
I'm using an 18-55mm lens, I cannot go further from this, which was my whole initial point, I cannot physically get further from her but I cannot make my focal length any less wide

>>3031184
That does look really good. I've noticed when I take pictures I try (I guess) to make everyone look nice and soft, not sure why I do this, but it pleases my eyes after I take the picture.

Maybe I should avoid softness, any thoughts?

I suppose it's down to the individual photographers preferences. I shoot in monochrome and try to get the sharpest focus on the subjects face with a low depth of field to make the portrait intimate. It's all about artistic preferences.

nice bookeh, nice colors and don't mind your focus is a bit off. The composition is fine! about your question, it's kind, but try to keep talking to them, make them feel comfortable whenever you have a camera in hands, and try to not make much candids portraits because it somehow will scary them away from you lol

>>3028473
too close, the colors don't feel right, the composition and the perspective are both bad, but you're following the right path. Try some editing to smoothing her skin, and more exposure are also pretty well welcome at this case.

>>3028500
very nice!! sharp focus, and smooth bokeh. The background don't distract at all but tell a 'history'. well done anon :)

>>3029724
liked the way you used the highlights on this one. focused right, nice skin tones, looks like an editorial work. Background seen perfect for the image aesthetic.

>>3030647
there's something I don't like about your picture, but it's imo... right pose, good contrast for a bw portrait, the skin tone is off for me, and your image is to grainy, but not grainy enough to be an aesthetic choice.

>>3030723

I used natural lighting for all these shots, no flash because I couldn't find an assistant for that day's shoot. It was shot during golden hour, but there wasn't much light because of being a bit overcast.

Says the anon who doesn't contribute to the thread because they're too worried about gear than they're about going out of their comfort zone of their room and taking photos.

We don't need to see 1.4mb of huge blurry pixels. Scale it down, it looks better.

That said, I kinda like it but highlights are grey and it's all blurry. It also feels a bit tight but that might be just me.

>>3033205
Bring his face out a little maybe? Feels a bit dark and smudgy. But it's very cool.

Theres flash in this photo? not a reflector? Must have been some subtle-ass flash

She looks awkwardly posed as fuck. It looks like her poses are forced and she doesn't seem to be comfortable being photographed.

Thanks! As I said, it was my first try with that sort of gear and it was really easy. In the past I've used just YN560's and they're excellent flashes but I have a hard time getting them just right.

i did a portrait shoot for a student union thingie, good for practicing on a sort of fast paced, portraits on a conveyor belt kind of gig..

and i noticed several times that scarves didnt sit properly, jackets were weirdly draped etc.. and i wonder if anyone have any tips on how to balancing keeping a fast pace, keeping the subjects comfortable, and making sure their clothes sit properly etc..

I was really hestitant to correct those things because that might make them self conscious and getting their expression good again would take forever.. Is that just me overthinking stuff? should i just have some go to distraction to use after correcting them?
do you guys have any tips for this?

What the fuck is this, a Shrek impersonator thread? Most of these women are so ugly that even the most gifted photoshop wizard would hesitate to challenge accepted.

Idgaf how much you know about photography or how good your gear is, taking pictures of fugly ass swamp banshees and undead cromagnon anorexia wights doesn't make good photography, no matter the lighting or the comp.

Find human females with current DNA and at least a semblance of physical symmetry and aesthetic pleasantness for fucks sake.

Im thinking because you shot from bellow? autofocus will sometimes put the focal point where you dont want it. unless u focused manually, then idk.

I'm really unexperienced at portraits and in photography generally, but I felt this one was pretty decent.
Any critique?

always try to have them do something interesting with their hands. we focus so much on what the face is doing that we forget about the hands. try to get into the habit of thinking of the hand posing as the same importance as the head.

>>3035138
Thanks! I recently learned about avoiding to cut hands/feet in case they can provide more elements to the photos. I'll keep in mind your advice too.

>>3035145

yeppp! this happens to me when i do concert photography. Ill accidentally cut off feet or guitar neck. you can always crop later in post. always take your time and put THOUGHT into the shot. check the edges, distracting objects, etc.

>>3035136
Use at LEAST a 50mm prime for shallower DOF

Learn to focus you little smackie faggot.

>>3035353
Thanks, my next goals are getting a 50mm and a 35mm prime lenses, all I have is that 18-55mm that comes with every camera.

for starters you can resize your fucking photos

>>3035447
the difference between 1mb and 2mb is insignificant in resolution to be able to give feedback but highly significant when it comes to how long it takes to load the picture. do you understand?

Filesize isn't resolution.

Also, it took maybe 1 second for that image to load for me, maybe less. Maybe you should get the fuck over yourself.

>>3035460
another tripfag gets filtered yet again. fuck off

>>3035462

Ironically, that's why I started tripping. I post like 80 times a day here and I was starting to worry that I was having a baleful influence on this board, so I decided to give people the option to filter me.

Unfortunately for you, I'm also tripfluid. 2017 identity politics are so fun!

Now, about that thing, how you should neck yourself before you wreck yourself? I would say go for it, fucktard.

>>3035449
thats good though they lighting is good but i would compose him to the left more so that his gaze has more space to look into if that makes any sense

you can make an export preset for /p/ so that you don't have to fiddle with setting it every time to just make it 1000px on the long side and that'll automatically size it down to less than 1mb for you as well

>>3035467
you knew what i meant when i said resolution so you coming at me for something so stupid like that just makes you an asshole. again, fuck off

>>3035471

Actually, you coming at the guy for something so stupid, petty and meaningless makes you the asshole.

I was just calling you on it.

you overcooked the processing, but kudos to you for posting one of the few pictures of a male in this thread.

Well thats a word.

I should probably try not to overdo it all the time

A bit less might be better than too much

>>3035496

It is always better than too much. When you first start it out, the siren song of "OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT I CAN DO TO THIS PHOTO I COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED IT" is very hard to resist. You'll look back at the photos you made in this period with bittersweet regret, however.

>>3035493
If you seriously want her to get hired then square close crop on the face and a BW conversion, she really doesn't need acres of blown out space and flare around her, and the skintones look rancid. Plus you need to lighten her face and dehaze the whole thing...or just reshoot, you've made her jaw look massive.

Seriously, there's no room for artistry on this one.

>>3035493
>flare

Yup, would definitively hire her. 10/10

This is awesome, reminds me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I love how the light trails give the impression of joyous movement.

I think this is good but it would look even better if the sun wasn't behind her. The cast shadow on the left side of her face looks kinda weird.

The angles is not correct. From that angle you can't really see her face. Should've moved a bit to the right making a circumference around her.

You want to see her seeing something outside of the frame to the right, not to a random spot.

Also she doesn't look comfortable with that pose; look at her right hand and how high her leg is.

>>3035415
It looks like you messed up the focus and tried to work that out by highlighting the eyes with photoshop. Too much highlight leaves a weird texture on the image. Since the picture is not scaled it's not hard to notice.

Also since there's just too much black space on both sides maybe this one works better in portrait rather than landscape.
I also feel like the shot's to narrow, but maybe that's just me.
