Bride Studio Portraits

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.

We had a model again last week for class. This one dressed up for us. We set up studio lighting and took some shots. Here are my favs.

Great shots - my only critique with regards to #1 is that the light delineation is down through the nose bridge which I found just a little distracting

Good work Neeoer,
I would have liked to see a little backlight, the dark hair blends too much with the dark background. But then again it could be my screen.

Those lights were set up very nicely. The pictures are excellent for their technical quality but I think the first pic looks a little posed.

Good studio shots ......... but to improve them I would add a back hair light, up high and falling on her hair and shoulders, this would make the subject leap off the background, rather than merging as of now

I know nothing of studio work, so will only say that 2 & 3 are very good shots, IMO. She's a lovely lady that you captured quite nicely. :)
