p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Full-length images


This is my 3rd time photographing the lovely and talented Elizabeth. She is a tall young woman and to accentuate that, I decided to go for a few full-length images of her, wearing high heel shoes. The camera was on a tripod; the lens is fairly big and heavy . The height of the camera was approximately at her waist for a neutral rendition, not only of her but also of the empty hallway and the lights in the background.

Although we started with her hair down, since I liked the rim light created by the flash behind her head, but Carol, the make-up artist, suggested to put her hair up and the resulting images turned out even better. A slight problem with that since Elizabeth moved around, the placement of the flash could be off a little, like in #4. Although the flash was visible a little there and the light spilled over onto her chin and neck some, but the effect is still pleasing. I also took images of her from the waist up plus others but those will be posted in a different batch.

BTW, this session was done strictly for fun. I love photography, portrait and otherwise. Both Elizabeth and Carol needed images to add to their portfolio. So, it was a win-win situation for everybody and everybody is pleased with the results .

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave any feedback.

Joshua

As the westerners say "A tall drink of water" Joshua!!! Well done! I can't speak to the techniques of portraiture photography but as a viewer "all looks well in the neighborhood here"! Really am enjoying #1

Thank you very much, Dan! I was debating the status of the first image but since it didn’t violate the NSFW guidelines although it was the most revealing and I didn’t want to offend anyone, I decided to leave it there.

Beautiful set and beautiful model. My pick are the third and fourth (the separation of the line of overhead lamps is better in these).

Thank you very much, Rajan! Yes, I see your point...

There are a lot of things to like in this series. Nice job! One thing to consider is the brightness of the overhead lights versus the subject's face (especially in number 2). Consider toning down the lights so the brightest parts of the image are the model and not the background. Just a. thought.

Thank you very much, Larry! I agree with your point.

My preference is 3 & 4 due to the placement of the overhead lamps competing with her head placement. However, I am not sure why you were shooting at 1/5 sec; f/2.0; ISO 50?

After a close look at all of them, subject blur has for me lost the technical edge required for this kind of shoot. Increasing the ISO and shutter speed by equal increments would have no effect on the ambient illumination or the flash and would have given you better control over any subject movement.

Thank you for your feedback. It was an inadvertent shift of the ISO dial to ISO 50 that caused that. I discovered that later. And of course, I changed that immediately to enable a higher shutter speed.

I think I actually like the shot with a little flare (last the best). Shutter speed issues were mentioned above. I would be interested in what some color grading to finesse the color palette might accomplish.

Very very nice indeed. Joshua how did you achieve the backlight of the model's hair? Couldn't be from those overhead ceiling lights behind her?

Thank you very much, Evan! Yes, I may look into that later; thanks.

Thank you very much, Dennis! I used a wireless flash unit using the same control unit to trigger the main light inside a soft box in the front of the model. The flash behind her head was mounted on a monopod, standing on “chicken feet”. I had to clone out some of the “chicken feet” that stuck out here and there but it wasn’t bad at all.
