| | Personal/School Project critique please! < on 2/7/2013 7:51 PM >
| | | working on a personal project now but for a class assignment as well. A technical critique would be lovely, as for the content it's all conceptual so leave that part out, but any ideas for improvement on my lighting, post processing or composition would be greatly appreciated. Here's a sample image. Thank you so much! the image i'm adding was shot with just natural light, but i've been using 2 or 3 speed lights and umbrellas for other shots when necessary.

| | | Having done something kind of similar (but far less nightmare-inducing), I'd encourage you to pay a lot more attention to the perspective. Definitely listen to Jeff!, but I'd also recommend choosing only a single background element to work with. For instance, in this picture it's the fireplace. The door to the left is kind of a distraction, so if there's going to be a door in the picture, the models should be interacting with it/through it. Are you one of them, shooting on a timer or remote?

Agreed, they can have their purpose but use humans!

| | | Given that it's inherently surreal, I'd actually encourage post-processing this image with some reckless abandon. Pump the contrast as much as you can without losing pertinent details, maybe adjust the tone curves to haze it up, apply textures and faux light leaks to really accentuate the nightmare factor. Assuming you're using layers, use a lot of 'overlay'. As for composition, I feel like this would be that much better centered and squared off with the fireplace, but it would have to be, like, perfectly squared, since even tiny variations or implications of optical distortion are immediately vomit inducing when working with such specific lines. Otherwise, yeah, tripod up and angle down. Burning and dodging like crazy always helps to command focus as needed.
Of course only after writing this up I realize it was posted 3 months ago so fuck me for being slow. [last edit 5/3/2013 5:43 PM by SeikoLiz - edited 1 times]
We didn't need a story. We didn't need a real world. We just had to keep walking. And we became the stories, we became the places. We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds. We were you before you even existed. |

| | | I really like the positioning of the figures, but they are a little 'lost' in the shot. I'd crop it much closer to your subjects, the door etc. don't add anything to this shot. I think the monkey should not be looking at the camera either. This sort of thing feels like you're a fly on the wall in some really bizarre moment. Having a model interact with the viewer doesn't seem to work too well. Monkey is in a bit of a dark patch, I'd recommend either shooting with a uniform light source or fixing it up in post. HTH
