Just Another Boring Day @ The Crystal...

way too smooth

Way too many similiar shots, be selective. Also, the PP work is very distracting, no one looks like that, way too smooth.

I feel that the DI on the model is a little too heavy too.
Nice composition and poses in the series which i like.
Beautiful sweet model.
and a nice TT ladies Datejust!

Okay.

I like the images, they're very sharp. But I don't like the rendition of the skin. Pic number 6 looks like a barbie doll. (No offence to anyone). Just my personal feeling.

Okay. Thanks.

i think the skin pp works if you're doing a life sized doll shoot.

i mean, she really looks like a doll!

try using an opacity of 60 to 80% when u r smoothing the skin...it will retain some texture of the skin...i am no expert but juz some suggestion...

No need to say too much. No need to justify the methods I use. No need to tell fake stories to go with what is posted. Just view and comment lah. But do tell me why you like or don't like them. Thanks.

****..u made us "gian" ;p

the model is very pretty! Very much like those toy poseable dolls from japanese anime! :heart:

Agree with the rest, she looks totally like a doll! Think if the concept revolves around her actually being a robot it might be cool. The last few shots on wide angle, I find the distortion on the legs a bit unflattering.

What A Beautiful Model. Nice shots but gotta agree that there is over too much surface blur

Oh yes, the real person is really very doll-like.

Ok, put aside the skin stuff, i personally like the composition and the bokeh in the first few pictures. and of course nice model too.

Very sharp images, nice composition but the skin looks way too smooth. Sometimes i do get carried away smoothening the skin too. :embrass:

 

[macchiato]

but u know what? you shoot what you like unless you are looking to please the crowd.


i like the composition and the model has pretty nice and sharp features.

Thanks for the comment. Like I have said on my first post, I don't want to justify the methods I used on these photos. I am very well aware that about the skin. Thanks.

You are right. You should be shooting what you like and not to shoot and post here to get hand claps from people. If it works for you, it works. I am more interested in trying to get better comments besides looking at just how I post process my pictures.

Hey, very nice and pretty pictures. Like a doll, I'll say.

Can you share your post processing? How do you get the models face and everthing else to be so smooth without loosing details.

thanks.

Thanks. I was a newbie too. Maybe I still am. I am still learning and trying out things and constantly experimenting. Shoot more, make mistakes and learn from them. As for post processing on the skin, I will rather let the experts here tell you lah. I don't want my thread to end up being a thread/post war on some super time-wasting topics. Just wanna stick to enjoying photography. Good luck.

Let the so-called experts here answer this questions first. If they cannot, then PM me. I don't mind sharing my workflow to good people. Afterall, we are here to enjoy photography and help each other improve.
