5: wow. amazing idea, looks awesome.
13: triple-wow. how crazy is that?!? I'd love to try this, but fear to break the ceremony. Could you share some information on this shot? Did you just jump in, prepare them up front?
Now, for more general words. Nearly all images seem over-sharpened, you might reduce sharpening to get rid of the typical halos (for example last shot, the hands are outlined or 19: ouch! every brick is there twice ). For my taste(!) the processing is all over the place and does not feel right, too many different styles got mixed up. Plus many color images could use some more light, they seem under-exposed. For a start I'd raise midtones to get more detail that is now sucked up in blacks. Last thing: many shots seem a bit blurry. Sometimes it is okay, sometimes raising iso might have helped.
If you read all this and start to think "jerk! My set is great. Try better!" because of the previous paragraph, please, let me conclude my post:
This set is easily the best I've seen here in the past months. Not technically (see above paragraph), but visually this is sooo bursting with different ideas, unique angles and creativity - my jar dropped and will reside there for the rest of the week. Really, really. Freaking set. I sure hope you get gazillions of comments because you deserve them. Now, before I completely freak out, I leave it at this.
I never think so "If you read all this and start to think "jerk! My set is great. Try better!"" and i really thank you. I will study 90% of your comment
I always think "we could have to do better". And it's always real.
Just the processing is, for me.... ouch I really like the mixed styles... explain mode: i believe that the wedding is a story, ok. But inside that story we have multiple stories. Every image must be a story. nd avery story nedd the roght process.
Maybe i'm wrong, sure possible, just like it (for now).
I also love the full black with no details but i'll think about it and I'll make some test.
N. 13: touch and run away more fast than you can. I was scared too but it was be irresistible.... know when you think about it, think about it, think about it... the moment still arriving... think about it... think about it... c'mon let's do it !
Our clients know that we are, sometimes, little crazy (we have funny, real funny, when we shot weddings)
but, let me say what i really think about your style (on an international forum, in a curious way if you think we live 10 minutes away!)
you know what I think about your editing process and I totally disagree with your excuse of the "inside story". a single style in my opinion further improve the story. I also think you generally exceeding with it, too much processing, vignetting, over sharpness, etc.... a more adeguate use of editing and a general technical improvement can further enhance your photo.
when I look at a photo I do not have to think "very nice editing", but only "very nice photo".
about teh pictures:
2 beautiful expression and nice pov
5 nice idea and pov, but the scene is not so attractive
10 too much falling lines and invasive editing
11-13 nice
15 distorsion and falling line
16 clone the subject on the bottom left
17 love the old woman expression!
19 distorsion of the subjects and falling lines
22 beautiful but too much invasive editing
35 tooooo much crop!! non sense for me
Ok let be serious. Thanks, as usual, to your comments.
To the process: you don't still convince me (us, simona too). But I'll think about it. Maybe 'cause I'm not interested in "very nice editing"... could be.
Honestly the sharpness is really too much, have to modify the PS action.
PS you know i love the falling lines Always look for them
Excellent images. I will have to agree on the rest on the processing. To me it's like "the images are great regardless of the processing" more than "the images are great because of the processing."
13 - I would have never attempted this haha. I've seen images like this and always wanted to do it but I'm afraid to distract the sanctity of the ceremony. So kudos to you !
This is a great set, extraordinary angles. I've got pp issues with 2 pics- 17 and 32 (and maybe the last one). They stand out from the rest in term of pp which is not concistant but somehow works for me as a set.
Good job.
