sure thrashes all the other portraits and poses shots.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'll take that as a compliment. However, I still feel that in photography, one man's meat is another man's poison. It's not what you shoot, rather what you portray. Good technical knowledge don't contribute to good visions... I'm sure the rest of the guys shot well and found their shoot meaningful for them.

Thanks for taking interest in my images. Anyway, it ain't the camera, not bothered by the camera I use, rather the people I'm working the shoot with that has utmost importance.

Well said Ced.

Keep shooting.

Guess we all from time to time have been reading about how to pose a model, seriously ask yourself, how much of this is practical? I'm not disclaiming books here. However, a day's shoot differs from another. In a cheery day's shoot, I just milk the situation by creating the whole atmosphere within the studio lively. The rest of my crew is made this way as time goes by, where nobody takes things to 'seriously'. I appreciate them being the way they are, thus making everybody around the set happy. It's said that as a photographer, you would bring the sunlight into the studio, so little is said about bringing the laughter in when the day is loomed with gloom.

On days when it's a tougher subject, I basically squander 300 plus digital shots to make the subject comfortable, delete it all from my camera and start it all again. I do not care about how much time is spent so long so what I want is captured because once you have it, it's eternal there after.Basically, I bear in mind that I only need ONE good shot, that's important compared to having many 'OK' shots.

Communicate with your subjects well. Your subjects should know what you'll be achieving in the shoot. Be a leader, if you're by virtue an introvert, you have no choice but just stand out louder than the rest. Other than having the skills, the louder voice normally assumes alpha. Once the set is intimidated, ppl working around you gives you a vote of confidence and placed their success of the shoot with you. you take good control without abusing the sets, respect all around you by taking in all opinions, but reject what's not needed, yet be a photographer you never thought you have. The photographer who see what other's can't, a photographer and not a shooter, and not one who's merely technically sound, yet do not bring the best out of your day's shoot.

Hope I answered your queries...

Thanks, but I dun deserved that compliment. Wouldn't call myself professional, rather I'm just earning a living, just like many others. I guess I'm just a living example of a child like character who has never grown up, and always living in a make believe fantasy.

Yes you do. Your photos and mindset already set you a cut above the rest.

In photography, there's no masters... Only different opinions and perception, do enjoy the postings. Hope it'll spur you on for shooting on...

Cheers..

 

[pointblankshots]

Enjoy the postings, and pardon the small images. Don't know why it just happens to some of my images due to the color profile... well, better than nothing at all..

Thanx for providing the tips and invaluable comments. Words from a pro! :thumbsup: You're right, see what others can't, and just capture that 1 shot, instead of the many 'OK' ones.

Really like your series. Keep them coming!
