[Zeckson Chow]

Thank you for viewing my pictures. This was a test shoot testing out location.

I love the tone and she's beautiful. But i think her eyes are a bit overdone for my taste.

Where's the dark? The model is way too well lit-up. And virtually every shot is a look at the camera and smile shot. Repetitive after a while.

I wouldn't called this dark. Using digitally vignetting effect and burning the edges does not really apply this is a dark series. It's all about the control of the light that falls on your subject and enviroment.

Right now I see original bright photos which you digitally manipulated "to be dark".

Anyway, it's a good test attempt.

A certain retro styling of both the clothing, setting and props is great. It's nice to see something different. I agree its not really very dark, and the eyes look basically "unreal" so (personally) I feel detract from the images, which are otherwise sharp and use very well lit (not very dark)

If your purpose was to test a new location, then I think the retro look could totally work for a very Austin Powers inspired 60-70's shoot. Care to share where?

Thanks. This location is a old stuff store somewhere here in Bangkok.

Beautiful model :heart:

Nice effect :thumbsup:

over sharpened of the eyes on some photos (like a lot of your photos) :thumbsd:

but overall, I see tremendous improvement since when you just joined! You are one of the few here in CS who showed great leap in terms of techniques, composition, and post processing. :thumbsup:

Excellent series again. I love the outfit and location as well. I think we must really go bangkok and find u for these shoots!

 

[sayjaibow]

Great work except the post processing is a little bit over done. There's such thing as too much to look like anime character and lose the real flavor of the persons unique features. Tone the post processing down a notch and it'll be better at least that's my thought.

the model got to work on her smile... is like frozen... one type only... gets boring after two shots

 

[teebs]

Pics are nicely taken but sharpening of the eyes seems to be quite a bit overdone especially for pics 1 to 4 where the iris seems to jump out of the eye...

Thanks for your comments. Please put the fault on me because I am the photogrpaher. If the model has only 1 smile, it is me to direct her with different expressions. The model only listens to what I asked her to do.

Nice model! great pics, but the forehead with the hairband pulling back the hair, revealing the baby hair is abit distracting~ but its not a big issue anyway~.
