My first model session - AutoPhotog : Photo Enthusiasts/Pros Forum

1HotA32 · 01-10-2010, 12:53 PM

I shot these at my work after hours.. shot with a cannon rebel xt and a 28-135 lens. i was also using two alienbee strobes/flash units.

the model really likes black and white thats why some of them were turned B&W

I was overall very happy with the turnout critique and comments are always welcome

not bad at all, I really like the 1st one in color.

nice work.

I think the coolest are the colorful pictures.
My favorite are the 5 and 11

Nice model

I came back and looked again.

Notice how much brighter your B&W's are compared to the color photos.

I think you should try going back and adding a bit more brightness or exposure compensation to the color photos along with a dash of contrast.

here is an example:

Original

Edited with +.75 exposure, medium contrast curve, +15 vibrance, -10 saturation and a touch of -clarity (softness).

ya the model liked the bw's better i dunno why... i learned alot from the session though

**UdubBadger** · 01-10-2010, 10:33 PM

b&w is more "artsy" for portraits... I usually prefer b&w too
