Like some of the previous stuff you've showed, the images are technically excellent. I'd really like to see more creativity and emotion though.

Well done ... Your colors are outstanding ... I took a quick peek at some of your earlier posts and I see you have great control over saturation and focus in all your work. Some comments on your process would be most helpful for many of us. Thanks, and please continue to contribute =)

Thanks to all who responded, I really appreciate your comments.

Yes Tony I agree that is where I am really directing my energy lately.
I have been getting some good ideas from this forum. I have a wedding Saturday and I am going to try some new ideas.

Thanks George,
I really appreciate your comment as those are areas, as well as lighting, I have really worked hard on.
I have done more free practice shoots in the last 2 years that I can count but the effort is starting to pay off.
My process is pretty simple since you asked:
Shoot everything with off camera flash to add color and pop.
Process for color and exposure in Lightroom.
Process for detail, levels, controlled lighting and contrast in Photoshop.
Add a smattering of effects using Nik filters.
I always use spot focus and focus on the subjects eyes.

The colors are just lovely... I would agree that the posing could be a bit more on the creative side... he is always looking at the camera isnt he?

Thaks for the comments.

Ardent that is my fault. I told him to be joe cool and look into the camera with this hot babe kissing on him. I guess this is his joe cool look haha
I have a wedding today..I am going to work on some more creative poses and more shots where they are not looking at the camera...work in progress..
Thanks
