Okay ... so I\'m stretching WAAAAAAAY out of my comfort zone on this one.
Deep breath, swallow pride and ask for hard core critique and explanation ... mostly @ posing, lighting, etc. unique to shooting people. These were supposed to be professional head shots, the lighting was the same for all four so explanation @ short / broad etc. vs. orientation etc. is appreciated. They are not sooc, so it\'s a combination of shooting & pp\'ing that is being critiqued ... and I think you\'ve got a lot to choose from for discussion.
I\'ve avoided shooting studio portrait my entire life, but got \"roped into\" doing these as part of a dog & pony \"charity\" promo ... so this is truly a first time EVER effort into the foray of studio portraiture. I\'m likely to be asked for more ... so I better learn to some things pretty quick. Just going over these in PP and I can see many things that went wrong, but will leave them to you for comment ... it\'s all fair game. These will only be used for something like a business card or photo id, so the requester wasn\'t concerned @ quality ... so I\'m kinda safe with these. But if I\'m gonna ever learn to do it for a more demanding application ... I figure these could at least be fodder for learning from.
BTW ... these are very tight crops from a 3/4 length shot. Shot @ f16 for max DOF because I couldn\'t see to focus well enough to accurately focus each shot ... indoor, weak modeling, slow C/Y 35-70/3.4 glass and I need new glasses ... f16.
NOTE: Shot on location in a small room with low ceiling (note the border in some).
