I think you probably have your reasons for the choice of skin processing.. ;)

Whatever.. you just make the model looks so lovingly pretty.. :heart::heart:

Do post more bro, I miss your Bangkok xmm series very much.. ^^

You are right, bro. I have my reasons for all this post processing. You are slightly different from other members on your comment. I like. You see and think about it and not just look at it skin deep.

So far most of the comments are only about the skin. I wonder if that is all they see in a picture... But never mind. Thanks for commenting bro. :)
 

Her skin is so smooth.

Anyway, I like #10, #12, #23 and #30. ;)

Okay. Thanks. Believe me, the real person is really very smooth. Thai girls take very good care of themselves.
 

For all that have sent me PMs... I would like to thank you all for your comments in your messages. I cannot reply them one-by-one because there are too many already. Just wanna express my thanks to you for your comments.

For those who have asked me about my workflow, I have already give you the steps to achieve my type of post processing. Try it. But do remember, those are guidelines only. The real stuff comes from you. There are no rules and let your imagination go wild. Be bold. Experiment. Fail. It will force you to think of other ways to achieve your goals.

Meanwhile, keep those comments coming on my thread. I wanna know how you think about it. Good luck on your try. :)
 

Thanks bro.. ^^

Maybe I always look at the bright side of life.. :bsmilie:
My deepest impression for the series is that you are singing praises of a beautiful lady.
:lovegrin:

As for the skin treatment.. yah I noticed it, but I won't believe that someone like you did not see it.

I was also asked by some fellow CS pals on processing workflow at times.. but it is kinda difficult to answer cos I dont always hv a fixed workflow.. most of the time it depends on what I hv on hand and what's the main objective.. sometimes models & photogs could have very different preferences & likings.. there could be many diff reasons for diff choice of processing.. but I like the series anyway.. ^^

Correction, i was a bit agigtated while i was looking at Pic 1 till Pic 14, tat's why i made those comment. Because i find the model's face is a bit flat after PS.

However, i prefer Pic 15 onwards cos of the lightings made the model looks more lively.

Hi Zeckson Chow,As your said, can post the original photo for us to see?The model look very nice and beautiful already so no need to do PP already.
Okay. Thanks. Believe me, the real person is really very smooth. Thai girls take very good care of themselves.

Posting the resized original is an easy job but I am not going to do it. But what is the purpose for this action? Just to prove what I said? After seeing the original, so what is next? Is it going to change anything?

Second, how do you know that I did not manipulate the original photo while resizing it in any photo editing program? And more questions will follow. I don't want to go into all these. If you really want to know, come to Bangkok and have a look for yourself. Surely you will believe your eyes, won't you?

When seeing my pictures, take it as it is. See it as what you see on your screen and if you want to make comments, make. If not, just close the window. I choose to present my photos this way. Accept it and not ask questions not directly related to photography.

There are many things you can comment, my friend. Composition, lighting, pose and feel, visual impact, colour combination, shooting angle, etc. and think about how I achieve this result on my camera handling, methods, techniques, shutter-aperture-exposure combination, where I place my lights, etc. These are the things that will help change the look and feel or maybe the total outcome of the shot. Comments like, picture is not sharp, model pretty, fingernail distracting, skin too smooth, etc. is not going to help you or anybody else to improve on your skills.

I am very open to suggestions and different opinions on how to shoot this shot better but I will not entertain those comments that is not even helpful to me in my opinion. I will be very happy if you can tell me if I shoot from this certain angle, or put another light at this angle, or tilt my photos a little more to this angle and it will bring out a better feel, mood or visual impact, my friends.

Thanks.

I would say that composition and framing is decent however, your post-processing is overdone to the point shere she looks more like a wax figure from Madame Toussaud's than an actual person.

If that was your intention, then it's done well but personally, it's way to fake for my taste.

hello guys,


it is zeckson's decision and wish to only post the post-processed photos.

please respect his decision and wish.

if you're keen to see those unedited versions, pls PM him instead of posting it here and taking attention away from his selected fotos that were meant for sharing.

however, it is up to his own discretion as to whether he wants to share those fotos.

thank you!! haf a nice weekend! :thumbsup:
