For the first image, during our shoot the other weekend, the model told me he needed some fairly traditional headshots for his book so we took some time for those. This is one of my favorites.
The second image was something experimental. Had an idea for a composite that just wasn’t coming together the way I wanted, but I started playing around with something a little more surreal, making use of transforming some specific parts, liquify and puppet warp. I think it ended up pretty cool.

I love them.
In the B&W, you got a nice balance between giving the high key look and keeping the texture that I like.
The other one looks like a ice cream commercial for aliens that’s very cool Huge eyes, I’ll try to copy you in some of my Asian friends lol.

Had a “smoke bomb” photo shoot this past weekend. It’s honestly not really my bag, so to speak, but I did capture some images I really liked without any smoke involved. And then I’m sharing a smoke shot just because. The color in the concrete pipe is a mixture of both graffiti and gelled lights firing at opposite sides of the pipe.
This is completely unlit and taken while I shooting “BTS” for other photographers. I just ended up really liking it.
I did a number of shots with the 24GM trying to exaggerate the shape of the pipe around her.
It’s tough to find a way to make one of these not look like IG cliches, but I tried.

Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DN for portrait - although it is a moderate wide angle lens but if you place hands or feet too close to the lens, you still get some effects that scream wide angle. I love this lens and have used it a lot lately but I am paying more attention to the composition to get proper rendition of her hands, for example.

Wittyphrase , I like your colors a lot in those, just in the middle one I see the head a bit distorted because of the perspective.
Ageojo, i would love to edit one of your pictures. Your photos are awesome, with top of the notch equipment and good technique, but you know sometimes I feel your skintones too plasticky and flat for my liking, and in this case you went too far in my opinion with the Gaussian blur all the way to the fingers 😳

Went out and took photos of strangers in their Halloween costumes last night on Bourbon Street in New Orleans! First time asking strangers for photos, fun times.

You are mistaken, Juanma. While I like my images of models on the soft side but what you are referring to as Gaussian blur is not that but the shallow depth-of-field of a fast aperture lens used at wide open aperture, f/1.2. The DOF is pretty much limited to the closest eye, or her left eye. Her right eye shows slight softness since it is outside the focus plane. I understand that my style may not be your liking and you are entitled to your opinion but that is my style and to each his/her own. Wouldn't life would be too boring if we process/edit our images the same way or close to be that way all the time? Cheers!

Pardon me I don’t have any 1.2 lens and I’m not that experienced photographer, but it feels to me
like you applied some kind of very low clarity, negative de haze or blur to the picture, that makes it look less professional than your technique and equipment suggests.
Of course it’s all a matter of taste.

I think thats his intended PP style for that particular shot, a classic look. I like to do that sometimes with my voigt 40, shooting at 1.2 and lower clarity. It gives you a diff look thats needed one in a while.
Joshua, youre making my life hard, the Sigma samples are beautiful.

On a self portrait kick lately. This one with my new 85/1.8 using the phone app to control, what a lovely lens, and a great price to boot. Also playing with a Portra 400 simulation, I rather like the look of it.

One of the Halloween party in Hong Kong with friends a couple of nights ago. I took 1400 pictures and keeping most of them 🤣
I used my a73 with my sigma 35 1.4 and Godox TT350, wit the S-r1 adapter to use the rounded accessories, the round diffuser, 2 of the cto gels, the dome, and the reflector all together. 1.4, 1/50s, iso 640 for this one. Edited in Lightroom with one of my preset, then a few color grading tweaks trying to be subtle. I went for a softer curve, less contrasty than other times.
Huge eyes, I’ll try to copy you in some of my Asian friends lol.
