Jesse Giammatt Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Shot my boss! I wasnt sure if i wanted to post these here since most of the stuff i see is out of this world awesome, but i thought i'd give it a shot anyways. Been really getting into off camera flash lately. Got cybersyncs to give me some more options with what i do with them as well. Anyways, i found this old abandoned Railway diesel shop, i loved it so i asked my boss if she felt like spending a couple of hours modeling for me. Here is what we came up with Id have posted the "medium" sized version from flickr but didnt like how they looked lol 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) C&C definitely welcomed! Nov 11, 2008 at 11:11 PM

Velcr0 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Shot my boss! All in all I like the set and the location makes for an interesting background. Here are my observations 1. The pose makes her look heavy, which from the other pictures does not appear to be the case. 2. The shadow around her right eye don't work for me. 3. May be my monitor by her left cheak looks to hot. 4 & 5 are my favorites Nov 11, 2008 at 11:25 PM

Jesse Giammatt Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Shot my boss! Thanks for the comments guy! lol thats the second person to think nipples on it. Its just the sweater, it had a million nubby things on it All i used was my SB800 and SB600. Anything with the light on her face i made sure to shoot through an umbrella Nov 12, 2008 at 02:22 AM

trenchmonkey Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Shot my boss! Hot boss, I was always self employed otherwise.... The eye contact shots work best for me. Nice job, your job's secure! Edited on Nov 12, 2008 at 03:00 AM · View previous versions Nov 12, 2008 at 02:27 AM

arcer63 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Shot my boss! are you a guy or a girl? i cant imagine a guy asking his female boss to do that. especially when she looks like that. really good pictures, the background in the first is really awesome, but i kinda wish it didnt compete so much with the model. although she does win with that pose. : ) Nov 12, 2008 at 02:36 AM

DBPhotography Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Shot my boss! Great shots no matter who she is...but yeah, pretty much what everyone else has said. Scott Nov 12, 2008 at 02:42 AM

Jesse Giammatt Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · Shot my boss! lol im a guy (damn unisex name!). She is very nice and told me if i ever needed a model then to just ask, so i did! Nov 12, 2008 at 03:01 AM

JBPhotog Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Shot my boss! Watch for body position so that her hips aren't squared to the camera more than her torso. That makes #1 look as if she is heavier than she most certainly is. #2 again with a shorter lens the optical centre is lower than it could be to flatter her figure. Also try opening up the lens more to isolate her from a somewhat busy background. Nice looking boss though. Nov 12, 2008 at 03:01 AM

Jesse Giammatt Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · Shot my boss! thank you, both you and Velcr0 commented on that about #1 and i meant to ask How should i position her exactly? I felt it was off too. But when we tried to turn the hips more on an angle it came out looking awkward. Should the hips be turned and the body twisted around so its still in the position its in now? if that made sense? Ive been trying to figure that one out and its been bothering me lol Nov 12, 2008 at 03:24 AM

Should the hips be turned and the body twisted around so its still in the position its in now? if that made sense? Ive been trying to figure that one out and its been bothering me lol Keep in mind that the photograph is 2 dimensional and therefore you can't perceive depth. With this in mind any object that is squared to the camera will appear wider. So to flatter her body you would turn her upper body towards the camera and turn her lower body away from the camera. Also a slightly longer lens on your D300 would help. If you go shorter than a 50 any tilt to the camera plane can exaggerate perspective, obviously the shorter the lens the greater the effect. Also, the dress may not be helping here as the tie thingy is hanging off the far hip so it covers up the curve of her hip. Nov 12, 2008 at 06:29 PM

Jesse Giammatt Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #20 · Shot my boss! Thank you, I knew about how wide angle wasnt always the best to shoot people with, but you put it in a way i understand it much easier! Nov 12, 2008 at 06:55 PM
