Well, if you think these are Abstracts or Still Life, you :thumbsd: are wrong ... The subject of these are obviously effects and creativity portraiture ... You can post yours there yourself, if you want to and get yourself moved back here ...

Then, you should request to open another new category, "Effects and Creativity Portraiture" in Clubsnap but I think you will be the only one posting pics in that category because all of us are the ordinary ppls....not like you.:bsmilie:

Even then, "Effects and Creativity Portraiture" are portraits ...

> Portraits and Poses
> "More than just sitting and smiling" Human Portraiture - classical, fine arts, contemporary.

Read that ... Effects enhances the art of portraiture ...

MOST IMPORTANTLY, just be yourself. Set your goals high and challenge your ability. Respect the fundamentals and your works. If you feel it is good. Then it is good. Explore you current equipments first, there maybe some areas you are still unfamiliar with. My impression, IR maybe easier for you to archive that effect. But is it really necessary?

Be FOCUS and be DETERMINE and master the skill. Dont get side track if you happen to see something special that other ppl have created.

I guess along the way, you will be able to discover your style. A good follower maybe a good leader, if you follow wit a purpose... After all, aint every1 of us a follower someway or another?

I'm a newbie, so i really hope my comments helps.

 

[yilishengxian]

Well, has any part in my post indicated to you that I have mastered my camera or photography?;p

Kenny

Based on your comment that "what the camera cannot do". I feel that I should believe that it can do. But just how to do it, is another matter altogether...

 

[yilishengxian]

you mean your cheapo camera can make the skin look natural when you want it to or provide a vignetting effect when you need or shot in high contrast b&w like film or do manual cropping when you don't have enough reach?

Look natural, maybe ... Vignetting effect, maybe able do it. Shot in high contrast b&w, maybe I've not learnt yet ... But I can do that too, coz i have a film camera too ... Maybe except for cropping will need a better camera ...

Veri constructive comments ... I salute u ... :thumbsup:

hmm..maybe the TS can answer this. was the TS looking for a commercial style? or just pure experimental shots?

to the rest of us, why not do this? try to understand what the TS is trying to achieve, and take it as a challenge to see if you can do it...in camera. no photoshopping other then resizing and sharpening for posting. lets see if you are as good as you think you are. no prizes for the one who gets it first. maybe just some bragging right.

as for me i'm still cracking my brains trying to figure out how to get it done.

I'm not attending a model shoot to sell the images ... So its purely for fun, experimental and part of learning maybe. But if, people really do want these shots to be done for them, well, its always good to know how to do it ...

Well, whether anyone wants to attempt these are not really my concern. Of course, if you have interest in them, we can share ideas and make improvements to them .

 

[yilishengxian]

Since when I said that everyone is here to learn photography to earn $$$? Even if the pros is out to guide pp to commercial style, what is wrong with that? It means that the images are nice and that is why it has commercial value. Of course, it must be nice to u at the same time lah.

If u look thru the recent postings, u will noticed that many wannabes have got into freelance jobs. What is wrong with getting assignments to support own hobbies?

Well, I do get and accept assignments too ... Of course, I'll not use my experiments or do any experiments on them ...

I'm trying to do something different from all the same type of technically correct images for fun and collection ... Basically, I feel that, these give me some fresh feeling. I'm not the only one who does these though, there're professionals who have done very nice versions of these and more ...

 

[yilishengxian]

very bad ts, very bad, started a thread and make ppl argue........:bsmilie:

Well, that wasn't my intention :sticktong. But things become the standard when something different pops out ...

 

[yilishengxian]

wah this thread, got stravinsky, tchaikovsky, mozart, beethoven, confucius, now shakespeare also got. sorry, this one i don't get... can explain how it relates?

anyway, to the TS, do you have any example of successful use of this technique you're trying? an image or set of images that inspired you to do this? can pls show? i also want to learn. thanks.

The example was, inside a book I borrowed. I've to go and find it again, and maybe borrow it out. But, whether I can scan and post it here, is another matter ... Its copyrighted material ...
