I got my first camera today and I went out to take pictures of a friend. I'll be photographing a very norwegian looking stranger this week, so I need some harsh critique to improve my photos. I'll post some down below.

you're not ready for harsh /p/ critiques, trust me.

This photo I've cringe a little.

But, ok. Your first camera, right? First off all, learning about photography history. Try every and each technique you find interesting and the ones you hate. Try everything.

remember, life isn't 'tumblr'. 14 yo girls, gays and depressed highclass boys won't buy your prints. And their mothers will probably run from your art.

A cigar written 'feelings' have too many feels in the interwebs, where your 'like' is just to feel your ego, not your pocket and your really artwork.

Also, photographing someone with your first camera in the same week is wrong. Don't be a photographer whore. There's people whom actually live for that, and you may be fucking with someone job.

>>2788378
Okay, I was thinking about borrowing one of the photography for degenerates books from the library.
I also am aware that the 'feelings' cigarette is very cliche and well, emo.
Do you know any good guide books or sites that I could use?

This is the most sane advice I've read in all my time lurking this board.

>you're not ready for harsh /p/ critiques, trust me.
/p/ is obsessed with the technical aspects of photography, like zone system, composition, rule of thirds.
This guy may be getting all the technical aspects wrong, but he's working actively with the subject which is more than can be said about 90% of /p/ with their shots of wall with AC units.

You're right, this board would be SOOOO much better if it was filled with thread after thread of full size snapshit of people rolling on the floor taken on Auto with the body flash.

Just no

Oh come on, it's just his first photos. Next time it's gonna be in P mode with the flash off.

these photos of your boyfriend are better than 99% of what usually gets posted on /p/. Pop up flash is so underutilized, it is refreshing to see such a raw approach.
If I can offer any advice for future shots, forget about "Portrait Mode" and leave your camera on the green rectangle, you also want to centre your models face it will draw more focus to him. Also the most successful pictures have their converging lines coming right from the corners.
hope that helps

lol except people who post here know their work is mediocre. this is beyond mediocre and even cringe worthy. built in flash adds 0 to these pictures. hope that helps.
>>
>>2788716
okay lol go take moma's free photography course, learn about vernacular photography, and come back when you understand photography
>>
>>2788717
>vernacular photography
yeah, some people have made really great use out of this. that doesn't explain why the flash adds to these pictures other than "le amateur look". in fact, claiming superiority by keying in a genre doesn't refer to anything of what I said. please kill yourself.
