I’m trying to shoot more and more people, so far i’ve only got candid shots of family. But came up with a sort of style i want to pursue for portraiture. I’m trying to develop my style. I don’t know if it looks good or not, hopefully you guys will tell me. Its a portrait of me, it was the easiest way to test it out. I have a few personal portrait projects in mind, so would love to know if it looks like crap or not, so i could know if i should continue like this or move on.
Technical comments would be good or just the “yeah it looks good, nope looks like crap”, thanks!
Like: the exposure and sharpness. Contrast between subject, dark shirt, dark hair etc against a light colour background.
Dislike: too much blank space over top of head, would crop it out. “line” caused by different shades of colour in the background – I find it distracting.
I think it looks good, a little cliche maybe, but good.
See, I like the space, maybe there isn’t enough,
a bit on the left of the frame might work.
The line in the background, doesn’t bother me,
but maybe if you had taken a step to your left,
it might have looked a little cleaner.
Really nice processing too.
Not the easiest thing to do, self portraits, well done for giving it a go…
