Evan Baines Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · A + S: Engagement Please read THIS before making any comments. Thank you. As always, I welcome your comments whether they are critical, laudatory, or somewhere in between.... so long as they clearly pertain to the photography. I shot this entire session using only ambient light and the 35, 85, and 135. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Props to Spencer or whoever came up with this pose. I'd never done it, so I figured why not? 9. 10. 11. 12. Nov 09, 2009 at 07:40 AM

Victor S Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · A + S: Engagement Awesome photos as always! I love your positioning against the sun to get that nice hairlight! Although I love all of them, 9 wins for its emotions! Nov 09, 2009 at 08:30 AM

Marie-Louise Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · A + S: Engagement I think it was Melanie who was the first on the pose in #8, but well executed! Nov 09, 2009 at 08:54 AM

BKphotography Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · A + S: Engagement These are really nice Evan... great colours and comp for sure. I'm not the best here with cc, but I'm gonna give a couple of my thoughs. #5 - the person the the background is distracting imo. #7 - I would love to have seen more of that skyline in the photo.

thorne88 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · A + S: Engagement I really like the set. You show great connection between the couple which is something I struggled with on Saturday... Tips? I agree about the person in #5, my eye seems to hit him while following the lines. Great black and white conversion Nov 09, 2009 at 02:16 PM

sboerup Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · A + S: Engagement You say you struggle with e-seshs. I think you're smoking something. These rock! Your pose on #8 is the best one I've seen. Everything has awesome colors, good energy between couple. Oh, I'm pretty sure it was Jared Bludsworth who first did the pose (atleast on FM). Nov 09, 2009 at 02:27 PM

sfr002 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · A + S: Engagement Great set only couple little things I notice. #4 - Great shot but the fly aways under her nose are distracting and a little funny looking. #7 - Little more building, less of the top of the beam in the top right and clone out the bright green rectangle in the bottom right. #8 - Love the pose but try lowering the saturation on the pink shirt in the BG it pulls from the subjects.

MPLS_photog Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · A + S: Engagement These are pretty class Evan. The light is great. I also love how you divide shots between the classics of pure posed and then have those neat moments like in 5 and 10. Great work. Nov 09, 2009 at 02:53 PM

Matthew Bailly Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · A + S: Engagement great work Evan. Nov 09, 2009 at 03:09 PM

DB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · A + S: Engagement Lovely work, Evan! I love backlight, and I'm totally jealous of the lovely orange and reds you have from fall up there! 1 - did you intentionally have that tree right behind their heads? I ask because I get so frustrated when I have something growing from people's heads or bodies, that it would bother me a lot, even if it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. 2 - you are the master of making this pose look 100% natural. 3 - nice use of trees to bring out the backlight on the bride! 4 - nice moment between them both. 5 - Cute! I love the leading lines. I agree about the guy in the background being a distraction. 6 - Great use of the bridge for composition! I kind of wish I could see her hand. 7 - This shot is so awesome. First, you have that lovely sunset sidelight. Then you have the wind blowing in from just the right direction, then you have the composition and the buildings behind them. And their poses look great! Superb. I agree that I wish I could see more buildings, but since I dont' know what you cut off in this shot, you might have cut off more bridge. 8 - You did this really well. I love the framing of the shot, and I love the people in the background. 9 - Awesome moment. Very fun capture 10 - Cute, perfect for a B&W. You really know when to keep something color and when to make it B&W. 11 - Obligatory blue wall shot. I'm assuming you got more from this cool location, but I really like how these two are looking at each other. 12 - I really like this one. Great use of architecture and posing. I wish that car wasn't there, but we can't have everything, right? thanks for posting! Nov 09, 2009 at 03:22 PM

jeremy_clay Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · A + S: Engagement Feelin' em all aside from 11, just doesn't make 'genuine' looking to me. Baines doesn't need me of all peeps to tell him he rules, though. Toronto Wedding Photography Nov 09, 2009 at 03:25 PM

Tony Schreiber Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · A + S: Engagement I love #1, but you have a tree sticking up out of their heads. Rookie mistake. You need to pay attention to both the foreground subjects and the background. **cut** I was going to go on through the set and make obliviously obvious jokes about photography rules and ludicrously paint Evan as an amateur. But after that first image (and my first sentence is true) I realized it would be hopeless. There's nothing to nitpick here. Evan is accomplished and exerting his skills. I probably like #9 the best, because it's a moment within a baines portrait. #2 is my guess for the reception display. I like the setup in #12, but not the lighting choice, looks too strong and unnatural, like you made the sun go out again. Nov 09, 2009 at 04:43 PM

maxwell1295 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · A + S: Engagement Hmmmm.....I thought I replied to this earlier. I really like the Fall colors here. 4 is my favorite.....best combination of color, composition, and expression. Nov 09, 2009 at 05:47 PM

JazzyMac Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #19 · A + S: Engagement 2, 7, 12 are nice *shots*! Nov 09, 2009 at 06:29 PM

Evan Baines Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #20 · A + S: Engagement Thank you all for your comments and critiques! I implemented many of your suggestions in the final "blog post" version, although I've left the originals here alone for the sake of discussion. The reasoning behind the crop in #7 was: 1. I was unable to get the *whole* skyline in that shot without using a dramatically different lens and position. 2. I felt that too much of the skyline started to compete with the couple for my attention. My hope was that cutting off the building still suggests a skyline without overwhelming the couple. It may or may not work, but that's why I chose that particular crop Nov 09, 2009 at 09:05 PM

Sahid Limon Online Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #21 · A + S: Engagement The fall colors work wonderfully in this set. I especially like the pose in 8, very unusual for an E-session, but def. works. 2 looks a tad bit warm on my screen. Fav. shots are 4 and 8. Nov 09, 2009 at 11:17 PM
