p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A&M::E-session [16]


It's hard coming back to the same place over and over again and trying to find alternative approaches. But here is the latest at a very popular spot in SF. This weekend the wedding season is going to really hit the ground running so hopefully I'll be sharing some more wedding work soon. C&C welcome.

I think you rocked these Duy!! A little more natural emotion and happiness in this set. I know you said you wanted to do a little more of being natural with your direction, well done.

If I had 1 nitpick--actually 2 teeny tiny ones. lol-- I would just say,FOR ME when I do a silhouette I try and make sure my clients are slightly separated so I don't see one black blob together. _ learned that from the great Zach Arias.

And my 2nd teeny tiny nitpick is # 12 He looks to be smiling at the camera when he's also creatively cropped off.

That's all I got for you man. You rock!

btw, #8 is my favorite!

Thanks guys!

Miguel, I agree with you on silhouette--the problem during the shoot was it was FREEZING with insane wind, so I just favored them to be more comfortable. Actually I think I did too many silhouettes... (there were too many cool opportunities).

On #12, his eyes were actually looking down off camera and felt disengaged so I "creatively" cropped that off

Cheers.

These are soo good! My only small critique is that the skin tones on #5 & #6 are a little harsh and red compared to the others. Nice job! Love that location..I visited SF last year and that was my favorite place

Wonderful images, very well done. However, I think that images 5 and 6 detract from the overall quality of the set.

love # 3 and # 15. great work!

Best set from you in a while. (and that is saying something) lots of emotion and very loose.

Thanks for looking guys... so everyone's in agreement that 5/6 are weakest in the set? I was hoping they'd add some variety but maybe not as helpful as I'd hoped.

To be honest, these guys were just being themselves so it was pretty easy to get them "loose." They just had fun with it so kind of the ideal client.

From my earlier comment: I think If you got rid of 3 or 4 of the weaker images, it would make the overall presentation much better.

If I was blogging these for my website, I wouldn't personally include # 5 and # 6. There are a lot of images that are significantly better than those two, in my opinion.

I'd also love to see if you could bring out the burned areas in # 16. It would take some photoshop work, but I think it would be worth it in the end.

Dude, I have my third... maybe fourth session in 4 months there this weekend. And you continue to impress me with your new visions of location.

I hit some of the same trails each time, but I just pick a couple different spots for each session to find something new to add. It's such a big area...

In #12, that wall used to be just the texture--sucks that it's covered with terrible graffiti now (i don't mind graffiti if it's good).

As for #16, that image was shot with sort of blind faith of the DR of my camera--in the original shot the couple was almost completely shadowed and the background was almost completely blown out. So it was basically as close to an exposure I could get where lifting shadows and bringing down the background would allow me to see both! (If i had an assistant I'd probably have used OCF here...)

But thanks for the views!

Dude, nice work at #16. I do that regularly out there too - exposure somewhere in the middle where the SOOC shot looks pretty terrible, but with the right post processing, it comes out beautifully.

Nice work, man!

Yeah, nice set, but I do think 5/6 seem, a bit out of place in them. 6B she seems a bit upset, and 5 and 5A are too closely similar to keep both IMHO. Also both of them are not as great as the rest.

Thanks guys--yeah, after taking 5 and 6 out in my blog post draft I think it does make everything a bit stronger. Thanks for the views.
