oic. i thought the purpose of doing tfcd for practice purpose? is your reply directed to anyone or generally speaking?

not directly at anyone but I think one should be serious with any model shooting, and especially if it's a TFCD ... coz we must try our best to come out with some quality images for the model who have given us her time, .... unless both of you are out for a wasabi marathon ....:think:

coz tyou're too busy gagging :bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

i agree. i think everyone shld put in their 100% for shoots regardless what kind it is. but there is a need to understand that both model and photog are still in their beginner level and not expect them to perform the 8th wonder of the world.

I feel that if a photographer is learning, they shouldn't waste the models time by jumping into portraits. For noob me I went through like scenery-->macro-->nightshoots-->streetshoots-->night streetshoots-->indoor events--> etc studio-->then only feel equipped for outdoor modelshoot after 10 yrs. Not talking about you, just IMHO.

No offense, but learning how to shoot macro, night,street, indoor events etc does not teach you anything about portraiture, when you eventually get to trying it out you still have the same amount of experience in that field. Just because you can do the other stuff doesn't mean you can do portraiture.

I agree. But it can sharpen your skills in terms of exposures/settings in different situations. But still there's 2 sides of the coin so we'll leave at that. Just the main point would be ppl should be equipped to shoot the model and not use them as guinea pigs. unless they're paid of course. Waste time and sometimes blame it on TFCD. They should be equipped to guide the model first, before venturing out.
Of course portraiture needs a keen eye too for capturing the models best angles which some ppl has it.

I agree in part, but remember TFCD is for both parties to learn and develop, experts dont come for free, if the model wants great shots she should pay for them, and if the photog wants a pro model he should pay for one.

I agree with you on this bro. Just that there was one model someone shot, posted here, she'd got negative feedbacks due to wrong angles, etc and she was upset for sometime. I feel for her, though it maybe her choose to pick the photographer, at the end of the day, the tfcd models still hopes for a good pic.
Thanks for the advice wildstallion

Actually i think the location kinda interesting, i can see long long grass at the background which i think u can play around with.
One thing i would like in my portrait shoot is to have some catch light if possible. Next time try to make sure your model is facing the light.
And i think background is a bit over exposed.
but overall not bad for beginner like us. :thumbsup:
