Portraitpro use someone elese hair5/18/2023 First finger of the left hand, pic 1 & 2. I don’t recognize as yet, 3 “cut off fingers” as I see a natural hand position while she was drumming. It appears that you have all the equipment to do it. I posted the link simply to provide a comparison of how small adjustments in the same type of lighting can make a huge difference. But if you think he is accomplished (just as when you refer to me in some posts as being an experienced portrait photographer) and then dismiss what is being suggested, then there is no way to recognize what makes someones work accomplished or worthy and benefit. As for the tattoos showing, that can still be accomplished in a flattering way, without showing the back of the hand flat to the camera with fingers positioned awkwardly Sorry Asher, I see nothing special about the lighting on the drum or hands. A change in your distance would make a huge difference in the light quality, and even eliminate much of what you discussing about fixing in Photoshop - like the high gums accentuated by hotspots. But I will take note of that general dislike you have strongly articulated for other cases. However, the bright spits on her face are important points you make. I believe she means that she is guided by love from Jesus! She is proud of the “Love” and “Crucifix” tattoos and was delighted to show it off, while playing the drum. Just a folded 8 reflective V on either side instead. My other key light was switched off! The hair light and backlight to then.g. In this case, the light source is indeed far away, (about 10 feet or so) from the largest 43.5” Mola, Mantii. She and her mother are so happy with these as the pose is her! These earlier ones are just meant to be pictures of her dressed to share with her family. Nothing wrong with using the software you mention, but I would want to get everything right in camera, and then use software to enhance - not fix. If you are looking for suggestions on ways to improve your portraits, those would be a few of my suggestions. Most are what would be considered flat lighting, but do not produce a dot in the eye, hotspot on the tip of the nose or hotspot and bright areas on the gums, that accentuate them: As an example, look into the eyes of the women in the link and try to imagine how they were produced. The flat lighting required for model/actor headshots, would hardly ever be produced by a single pin point light source positioned at some distance from the subject. Placing and posing hands well, is a challenging skill to learn - but worth it as not giving hands consideration can make or break a portrait. Having your light much closer to the subject (even 2 or 3 feet away) would also help with that - as well closer lights would also improve the shaping of the flat directional light. That can be done by controlling the light source so that light falls less on the hands, or by adding gobos or introducing boards to block light. Control of lighting hitting the hands, will also not allow them to be the focus. Unless it is a hand model, trying to feature the hands, focus shouldn't go there. Having the hands closer to the camera than the face, exaggerates them and is best avoided. Generally showing the back of the hands is not considered flattering and I would try to have the sides of the hands showing in a graceful natural manner. The chopped off finger in the first pic, does not work for me. What bothers me much more than any fixing that can be done in post - is poor posing.Įspecially when it relates to an area that is an essential for portrait/headshot/people photographers to be aware of.
