portrait noir
-
hello,
Im doing an assignment and I had to decide on a theme for my panel. I chose a kinda Film Noir theme, i had a few idead of what i wanted to do produce with what ever props and clothes i and my friends (models) could come up with. These are my final 5, i would apprieciate as much feedback or changes that anyone would like to recommend that I do in photoshop. I have done a somework on them but I have very little experience with photoshop, so as i say any reccomendations would be appriciated.
Thanks
Thomas
Pictures are far too big. Resize them to around 800 or 1000 on the longest side and they will b much easier to look at.

em, the big ones are all soft,
and the small ones are all posterized-
probably due to over-compression,
though it looks too extreme for that-
Might it have been enlarged from a reduction of the big one?Very odd, anyway-
They all seem nicely lit,
from what I can see-
and I suppose they do comply with an expectation of what ‘Noir’ might be-
but ina kindof a staged, actorly kinda way-I suppose there isn’t any real menace there, is what I’m getting at-
The biggest problem is your focus-
its very difficult to get past that-
but they do show ambition,
and some good ideas about the lighting, and the direction of the models looks good-So hope to see some more soon-

I must of done somthing to them while compressing the images, the focus does look odd although I have as a say been adjusting some aspects of them in photoshop and the focus is fine. A bit disasterous for my first post……. :cry:

Don’t be downhearted. We all have to start somewhere and
it doesn’t take long to get the hang of how the site works.no not disastrous..because I did take time to scroll through and can see the compression is a huge issue here. That third one..with the couple..is one of the best thought out noir scenes I have ever seen on here. Go correct them and you have fabulous work here!
Here’s a wee helper – I hope you don’t mind. Some of these
look like great shots to me.
ahh cheers,
I wasnt too sure about the background on the two shots with the guys on there own, can i get away with that or should i darken them down?
I don’t feel qualified to say, to be honest. I really like the
one with the seated woman and the slatted shadows, though.
