What's up Miguel! Thanks for your feedback on my set. Love that Philly comradery. Your set is very very solid - especially since you were 2nd shooting. I'd be curious to see the primary shooter's work, because your coverage looks like a full set on its own.
I've seen a lot of your sets and overall I absolutely believe that you've defined your own unique style, which from my perspective (as a photographer) is defined by creativity, and also aggressive color/contrast in post.
I don't know if this is going to make sense, but I feel like a lot of your shots are focused on impressing photographers first and foremost. Though, obviously that may be based on the shots you selected for FM - or the fact that you were second shooting. Specificly I mean: 1, 5, 6, 30, 38.
Critiques from my perspective:
1) My eye immediately went to the little girl, which made me wonder why she was so out of focus. Obviously this is a dress shot, but I don't think the client will understand why the girl is so out of focus.
2) Nice
5) Compositionally I love this shot, and involving the TV face is genius, but I wish the subject in the center was doing something more meaningful. Really interesting though.
7) I can't help but think that his head should be turned to look out the window.
11) Her skin/hands look pretty dark. Otherwise nice detail shot.
19) As Farid said, one of my favorites, but bugs me that it's not centered. I would just do a non-traditional crop for the blog (i.e. only crop the right side).
30) Assuming this is the first kiss, you get a lot of props from me for taking a risk on the creative angle. One of the benefits of being a second shooter
32) Really nice cake shot
36) Awesome. Full of emotion and lighting is great.
38) Pretty cool that you framed them in bokeh like that
42) I like this one a lot, though I think it'd be even better if you burned the non-bride arms that were hit with flash around your bride. In general with these party/dancing shots you seem to favor the on-camera-flash-zoom + dragged shutter. Sometimes it produces some sick shots like your #42, but from a photographers perspective I always equate direct-on-camera-flash to be trouble (especially since you had an off-camera setup available). I think a lot of people like it though, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. Do you use this lighting for all of your late-night dance shots, or sparingly?
43) Perfect shot to end the set. How did you get a cake-shot without dozens of people standing closely and watching lol
