I am really impressed by the way you created an almost HDR feel to the background while maintaining a very sharp focus on the model.

Great PP work...and some great ideas and angles to start with. I am also encouraged that you are not allowing your images to be a "cookie cutter" of what many people expect portraits to be.

Zeckson, I have always been very inspired and very much impressed with what you do. This set, with the captions and narratives have been very helpful in understanding your concept and flows.

Love your picture sets as always.

A true work of art.:thumbsup:

Master, master, teach me kung fu!

Your kung fu is really good. I love all the shots and the model is also great looking, but I love the PP methods done more.

You are now officially one of my favorites! I can't wait to see more photo outputs from you!

Two thumbs up :thumbsup::thumbsup:!

Thanks for writing. By the way, what is a "cookie cutter"? Don't understand it. Hee hee.

I am very flattered. Thanks for writing. I hope to give people an insight into how to see things photographically and not technically which many people tends to.

I am not a master lah... I am not even a photograher to start with. I am just someone who is passionate about portrait photography. I think a lot, more than I shoot.

As for post processing, just be bold and try out different things and see what you get. Experiment and learn. Don't be afraid to go overboard. You will learn something there. Learn how to blast everything out first and then learn how to control pulling it back. The difficulty is controlling how to pull back appropriately. I took a long time to reach where I am now.

By the way, "Your Kung Fu is really good"... Does it remind me of that whiz kid in the movie Armageddon, starring Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler as his daughter? Nice movie!

You can actually see some of my recent shoots by clicking onto the web link under my signature. It will take you to my collection in Flickr.

Hi Zeckson, I've been following your work & even added your PP pages under my fav. but I'm hopeless in software & trying to learn how to take proper pics.

I tried using a 20mm on FF for fashion recently & some of them looked really distorted especially shooting @ 45 degrees.

Btw, very nice treatment you did in this series. I always love old houses with character & a pretty model you have there.

Thanks. No, the original colors are not that fancy. Most of the colors are enhanced using Photoshop to portray the feel and energy. Zia is really a beauty.
