I have been reading various FM Forums for years...not really a thread starter just kind of a lurker. I have had a side photo biz for two years now and things have really been kicking in recently. Here are some random shots from various shoots...
Another lurker out of hiding! Great!
This is a very nice start Noel. Good job.
Strong points are the expressions, the compositions and the control of the backgrounds.
Every sunset shot needs something other than the sun and the colours that it produces. Your sunset is a perfect example. You not only have a figure in the foreground, but one with "attitude". Nice!
#4 is an interesting theme - Lost amoung the Dolls, perhaps. I don't think the vignetting is a good thing in this shot or the last shot.
The last picture has skin tones much different from those of #2. I prefer #2 by a long shot. It is almost like a different photographer took that last shot.
Noel, I'm looking forward to seeing much more of your work! You have great images! I quickly browsed through your website and saw some beautiful shots of Santa Monica! I have great memories of that place from my days as a Bruin! Oh, and the sunset shot here is wonderful!
