Do you think that certain characteristics of the person should be \"hidden\" more or should we be capturing them as how they really are?
Yeah, getting used to exposure, will work on that... thanks!
Depends, are we doing portraits, capturing the best of a person, or photo journalism?
I like the candid feel of the shots. It doesn\'t feel forced like this can sometimes be. You do need to remember that there are some sides you can just omit, it doesn\'t need to be on display. You also need to work on your exposure/color balance. It isn\'t always about the whites, try and get the skin tones nice, they will care less about how white the dress is if they aren\'t yellow. Solid showing, just keep it all in mind, also check your monitor and if you can\'t afford to calibrate, know its weaknesses and as a final step correct for your monitor (mine\'s a tad green and a hair cool right now, I have a preset that corrects for it until I can afford one of those things).
I would say this is a portrait of how the person truely appears. There was never mention about \"oh this is my best side\" or \"please don\'t make me look fat\" or anything near that... therefore we shot without limitations.
Thanks for explaining the color though, that does make sense. So it\'s not about the color of the dress but more of the color of the subject\'s skin..?
