I have only been a critic so far on FM, thought I'd finally post something. Just a quick snap of my son yesterday afternoon. I'm just beginning to shoot headshots this tight, and was looking for some C&C. Thanks in advance!
He looks incredibly deep in thought (probably something along the lines of- "This big thing is pointing at me again.. WHAT ARE YOU!?!?!" ). His eyes are mesmerizing. You might want to clean up some of the hairs (the one at the top left of the hood keeps catching my eye for some reason), but very fun capture!
If I were to nitpick, I know you were going for a close crop, but I'd give him just a little more room, especially above his head- just a hint more. And while this would take away from the "snapshot" quality of this (I mean snapshot in a good way), maybe zip the jacket all the way up, so he is kind of peering over- chin hidden. Might be kind of fun.
Thank you for posting this- I am always looking for different ways of taking baby pictures. Great shot!
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. There has been no crop in PP, so what you see is everything the sensor got. I am trying to get away from crops in PP to refine the way I see through the lens.
Again, many thanks for the comments and suggestions.
I know what you mean by the way you see through the lens, and the posters are trying to help for future captures, as it would be a tad difficult to get a nice 8x10 quickly, for example.
When I started shooting dance kids, I did not realize that I needed to leave room for all sizes that might be ordered and it was a pain to work out. I learnt soon enough
