I agree. If you are going to sell photos you should at least invest in the basic tools to do the job. I haven't purchased any of the photos from this vendor. When I see glaring mistakes in basic photo skills I tend to run the other way. I never complain when I'm looking at FREE photos. After all, they are FREE! But, if I were going to buy them I'd be a lot more critical. I hate photos where the photographer is on the shady side of the model and everything exciting is BLACK and in shadow. Use reflectors (a $1.00 sheet of white cardboard is perfect). Use a polarized filter. Even a cheap one will do. Watch perspective. Shannon Wetlook is a great example of someone who actually works at the skills. They do a great job. You don't have to be Ansel Adams or a pro. But if you are going to charge for them, at least consider your customer. This is a comment in general, not about any particular website. |

By sunboyfun - sunboyfun@gmail.com Mon 09/06/14 17:43:31 GMT Website: creativewetlook.com Sometimes, dry hair is in keeping with what the photographer/model prefers and may or may not suit everyone. For example, my issue would not be the dry hair but I think there are greater needs in the image quality department. As freindly suggestion, the white balance needs some severe attention, as do the photography angles. I wonder, is any post-editing done on these photos? If photos are to be sold, I think they should be rendered to the best quality they can. Some quick-fix fans may not care, and simply enjoy them as they are but they could EASILY be improved with little time. As simple auto-Levels adjustment in Photoshop Elements or the full-blown program if you have it, could correct the yellow/green cast that is all over these photos. Try shooting the model from a lower perspective so the legs are not drifting to a point. Maybe invest in a cheap reflector or light to cast better light on the model's and give the wet clothing a more glistening appeal (right now, it is a dull, lifeless light in the indoor setting, and that is understandable). Hope this helps. SBF |
