Well done Mike. You did justice to them all!

But if forced to pick, I would go for the first for the pose, framing, lighting and the simplicity of the shot. The second one comes close for the sharply focused eyes, the back light that highlights her hair and her expression. Did you use any fill light...
Thanks for your kind words fernando

Marie is #1 on the podium, Dominika is her dauphine π For photo #2, I used natural light from window as backlight and white reflector to light up shadows on the face (no fill-flash)
Thanks for your vote

The new world of Instagram is non committed the subject always looks away so the public can stare with indifference. We are in another world of art where the searing look of the subject makes the viewers responsible for their participation as if they are ...
Let me start by saying wow they are all great

If I would have to pick a favorite it would be nr 4. Reason: 1) I find just a bit to dark 2) just a bit too much light from the back 3) no eyes 4) full face but the main reason I would pick 4 is that it seems more natural less posed than the others. Let i...

My favorites are 1 and 3, followed by 4 and βlastβ 2. 1: The woman is captured very well, her pose is very well suited and lighting is very good. The background is my least favorite part of the picture. Reminds me too much of standard backgrounds used for...
That's an uncalled for and rather brusque comment.

We are here in the photography sub forum sharing a common interest and most if not all are hobbyists who enjoy making photos that are understandably not up to professional standards. As the saying goes, if you have nothing nice to say .....
#1.

No...#2. Nooo, hmm, #3, #3!!! No...No. YES! #4! YES! #4! wait...
Congrats to her.

Shows how much looks can be deceiving.
Actually feel free to express your point of view...
By: Mike H : June 8th, 2020-15:19
...of course provided it is respecting the models and the opinions of others. You are actually expected to pick one (or two) photos that speak to you, to your heart and if possible explain why you like it more.
They are all excellent. Really!

However, to answer your question, my pick is the first one. The reason is the intensity in her eyes. I feel as if we have eye contact. The tighter crop makes the eyes bigger and more important. I am wondering if it is a different focal length than the oth...
Iβm going to be controversial here.
By: EinPa : June 11th, 2020-04:42
Technically all are fine. But all are lacking. To me, the real art of portraiture is to capture the uniqueness of the person you are shooting. I donβt see that any of these shots achieve that. So for me, none of these are good, they all fail. Sorry to be ...
You are expressing your opinion...
By: Mike H : June 11th, 2020-17:20
...and this is what was requested. I was not fishing for compliments but to be frank I am surprised by your tone to express the fact you do not appreciate these photos. Let's put it this way I respect your opinion but if I would have posted a no appreciat...
Technically as I have said they are fine and by fine I mean quite good.
By: EinPa : June 11th, 2020-17:26
I am sorry if the tone was wrong. I try to get to the point and sometimes it comes off wrong. I would say that from a purely commercial photography perspective all of these are fine and I am sure that any client looking for a headshot would be more than h...

Great lighting and the sparkle of her eyes is magical.
