Zombie Witch

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A friend of mine asked me if I could take some photos of her in costume, and I felt particularly inspired to do some low key lighting which I thought suited the shoot. It was my first attempt at low key lighting and would love to know what you think :)

Should, could, would .....

It's not. :)

Twerks for me.

I love these, particularly the second. They are horrid and repulsive, yet the subject seems to be seeking sympathy or help. :D

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I couldnt see them either, but i followed the links by hitting quote.

I see that they are both from the end of the night. I still havent really done anything with my shots from this shoot...simply no desire to even look at the moment.

I like these images, they really do have that Zombie feel to them

I've looked at this pictures a number of times.

They are disgusting. I think you have really done well to evoke this feeling. They work despite the soft light! Just for interest do you have any with harder light?

The shots are great.... I particularly like the second one, where you can see her eyes... that adds a lot to the photo to me.
