I started photography around 4 or 5 months ago, mostly just to urban landscape and street photography, but i enjoyed doing portraits a lot actually.

Need fill flash or reflector
>>2873788
Yeah I'm looking into getting more gear like that for shoots in the future. Is there a flash you'd recommend for a student budget?
>>2873782
not bad but
>3648x5472
wowee read the rules
>>2873790
Yeah just read that, what's the reason for it? I would figure people want to share high resolution photos
Love this angle and how much I was able to capture of her, but her god damn eyes look closed.

Well, big pictures eat through phone data plans fast so there's that. 1000px or so should be good enough for proper showcasing.
>>2873795
This rusty look is cool but I would isolate women legs and smooth them a little, unless you wanted bruises to be visible
>>2873808
That's fair, thanks for the heads up.
>>2873816
Yeah I'm thinking I might do that, thanks for the suggestion!

this. If you lurk long enough you'll catch a bunch of gearheads being upset about this rule. Lower resolution posts doesn't expose the finer details and for the gearheads the epeeon wagging that the higher cost camera/lens showcases...ie a good photo doesn't need the best gear and that triggers them
some nice shots, a bit dark in some but good angles
You need more light (flash or reflector),your photos are kind of underexposed.
V S C O?
>>2873782
Nice processing for all of them, but it seems like you did these without a specific goal in mind. The compositions seem awkward to me because I have no idea what the story here is. Of course this depends entirely on the expectations one has of a portrait.
I classify them as well exposed and pretty snapshits.
>>2873828
Not op, but honestly we should double the dimensions (2000 by whatever) and limit the file size to 1mb.
>>2873798
is that u rickie
>>2874203
Haha that is Rickie, but I just took the photo of him. What's your instagram?
>>2873782
too much headroom, right hand crop is a bit awkward
>>2873787
meh
>>2873785
poor execution, next time you can come in closer, and seperate her from the building
>>2873795
kinda cool, but yeah it's a shame she's got her eyes closed, and like the other anon pointed out her thighs look overprocessed
>>2873798
you could've turned him more to his right so the beautiful sunlight would've shone more on his face, so underexposed too
>>2873822
cmon, not only is it a boring shot, the dude kinda looks like he's holding his dick
a general advice for you after going through this thread is to come in/crop closer to the subject, and learn more about compositions. I really like your colours though. keep at it and you'll get better!
>>2874459
Thanks for the advice, I'm glad there's critical people here because I'd much rather be told I'm shit and how to get better than people not wanting to offend and not enabling me to improve. Thank you!
What is up with the bokeh in these shots? It just looks like it was shot at a low shutter speed with camera shake.
>>2873782
This is probably the one where you show your subject the best, but I dont like her leaning forward with her shoulders drooping like that, if you wanted to show us cleavage you could have done a better job with her taking a big breath and then putting her shoulders back.
She is pretty though
>>2873785
Here the arm makes her whole body wider and the sun is really not helping you because the rest is dark. Also too much room above her head
>>2873795
Her eyes are closed, another unflattering angle - I can see she is thin, with the gap between her left arm and waist, but you still make her look wide.
>>2873798
I agree with the other anon about the sun, you should also have had him smile less awkwardly - I could just image he told you
>anon, you know I take pictures I'm no model, my feet hurt, I wish I was at home posting in gear threads on /p/
>>2874476
>What is up with the bokeh in these shots?
that's what cheap lenses do

>Chopped off part of the hat and chopped his foot in half
People who think it's not okay to crop hands, feet, hats, arms are fucking morons. Yes, faggot, that's perfectly fine to crop. We don't need to see his entire hat nor both of his fucking sneakers, pleb.
>Leave more room in the crop
NO, don't do that. Do this, crop tighter.
>if it's going to be framed
who in the hell would frame that shit?
WHY DIDN'T
YOU STOP IT?

I did, you think I would spend all that time taking photos of her for free, and not end up sleeping with her?

Rickiiiiiee
>>2874781
you seem not to understand the difference between cropping a close-up and semi-total/total shot. you seem not to be a clever guy.
