p.1 #1 · Feeling Silky


Honestly I couldn't come up with a better title. Here's some of my amateur "work" which I was hired to shoot a couple weeks ago for a clothing designer and hair salon who are collaborating on a line of silk products. Both clients and I quite like this particular shot, although I really wish that the male model's arm wasn't visible behind the other models. I guess that makes me a RANK amateur and not a REAL photographer.

Shot using an original Canon 5D with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens attached.

It would be so easy to photoshop that arm away!

I was thinking it might be as well. There are still a large number of images from this shoot that I need to edit, so I was thinking that I might return to this shot to fix it if I have time once I’ve gotten through more of the rest of the photos.

Daniel…

Your latest posts would be much more enjoyable if you could drop the whole “amateur” thing….

Those of us who were there already “get it”. Someone new however would not and it just…looks…bad…

Time to let it go…

No need for much comment on the shot. You are a pro and it looks like a “pro” shot.

All the best

Nice. like how you have preserved the subjects freckles and overall warm palette. Should not be too hard to remove the portion of the arm between the two women in the middle.

Thank you. Just a little bit of subtle dodging and spot removal was all that needed to be done. I try leaving skin looking as natural as possible, although I have nothing against heavier handed retouching either.

I’m definitely going to give it a shot when I have more time to get to it. Thank you for commenting.
