Showcase Photographers and those that aspire to be

Do you guys know where I can post pictures and get constructive criticism on them? The few ladies I've done photo's for, say they love the pictures but I want to make sure they not blowing smoke up my ass! Plus I know I could use the pointers! Originally Posted by BDS

The photography classes I'm taking have made such an improvement on my photo's that I kinda thought that a good honest critique would also add to helping me improve my skills!

Why don't all of you exchange some PMs to set up some guidelines that would be fair to everybody and one of you get back with me on what you have come up with.

Will be more than happy to set up a sticky thread for the subject with the guidelines for it stated up front.

When I come to TX. Can I have you take pics of me please?
Can I see more of your work babe?

Fredmiranda is a good place for critique. There is also photocamel, pixtus (formerly texasphotoforum), and there is one for canon but I am not on my main pc and can't remember the name.

i think if we're going to attempt the critique thing one rule needs to be out front from the beginning: direct commentary on a model's physique is not acceptable, and the colonel will have to decide how that's enforced.

the distinction has to be made between her form and her pose.

"the pose is unflattering. she should be stretched out more." is fine.

"that chick is fat. she needs to hide that gut." is not.

Yeppers, I will agree 100% with that statement. The object will be to talk about the various techniques used, the model is immaterial to the subject.

As soon as you guys come up with what the basic outline will be, I will be more that happy to get the ball rolling on this.

I've been tied up with work but will work on guidelines Monday.

Thank you so much, I tried registering at Imagegrainer and they still haven't sent the email verification, after hitting the resend button 4 times in almost 24hrs, I gave up and registered at postimage.org!

That was sooo sweet of you to do! I truly enjoyed the shoot and I hope we get another so I can do better! I def have room to improve...but for an amateur I think I'm doing alright tooo! You were the perfect model that took direction and even through your own twist in the mix...which is awesome!

Aspiring Photographer building her portfolio...Not everyone will like my work, but as long as my girls are happy...then D2 Images is happy! So if you would like a new showcase...I'm here for you! Just pm me and we can go from there! I am NOT a pro...yet!

but, there's always work to do…

on this image, i don't feel it does justice to the lovely figure that's really there. a wider frame that allows the viewer to see the curve of her hips makes it much more feminine and brings the sexxii. i think if she tweaks the pose a little by popping dat booty a bit, it will also help. in fact, i think you shot one similar to this in charlirose's showcase that really works well.

from a processing standpoint, i think lightening the skin tones will make the image less flat.

Thank you but this is not the critique thread...

I like that image just the way it is!
