Wow, had no idea the 1635CZ also had so much distortion. I always thought it was a really good lens. Seems like every UWA on he A7 suffers this issue


This is keystone distortion.
Point any WA lens upwards and this is bound to be.

If you want to avoid it, you got to shoot straight w/o pointing up.
Else use a tilt shift lens.
Or use PP

the baby fats spilling out is extremely unsightly. you should have liquified them away. also you forgot some of the stretch marks and other lines. they could use some dodging and burning.

lastly, the eyes look too sharp. applying too much skin smoothening caused them to pop out too much.

and finally, like i've mentioned previously, the lighting is causing uneven skin tones which are just too distracting.

all these points to take note of.

portraiture is more than just a hot lady posing in skimpy lingerie. if that's all you're setting out to achieve, then you might as well shoot with a PNS camera.

I understand about the liquify issue. I did do it a little but i also tried to remove all the fats completely but that actually made her figure look too much like a barbie doll proportions and kinda unrealistic so i didn't over do it.
All the images were shot with just a single light over head so the bottom half is always too dark.. It wasn't my lights and wasn't my setup...so in a way, all i was doing is PnS...
I'm not a studio shooting person really..i have next to nothing knowledge about shooting with studio lights or fashion editing.

yeah true bro just level the lens along the horizon should auto fix the issue even the Samyang 8mm FE lens could de-fish without PP :). But one thing I like with 1635 is straight lines is almost straight the below are taken by 1625ZA at wide open F2.8

no PP correction unless it has in body correction by A7r as I shoot JPEG will try to shoot RAW next time and see how bad the distortion

Well, one thing for you to remember from here on out is that you also have to portray the model in a good light as well. By doing what you did, you're just spoiling her image.

Shallow as it sounds, that's an inconvenient truth

I don't see how i spoiled her image in such a bad way. Does anyone else here think i portrayed her in a way i did her injustice? Perhaps i should just post a SOOC jpg image? I portrayed her to the best of my limited abilities and if it's not a professional enough job, well, that's why i'm not a professional photographer or retoucher. Like most people, i just do this for the fun of it, not for a living. I pay to shoot, i don't get paid to shoot. I don't think i did that bad a job that people see her photo will avoid her the next time they see her.

A7S preview shot by the A7 + FD85mm F1.2L. Think my A7 mastered sensitivity pretty well too!
