Street Portrait

Looks like it was almost posed in a studio, from the perfect 3/4 angle you shot.

It is a heavy crop from this shot. They are professional models, so it’s no surprise that it looks like a studio shot. They wanted me to take their photos.

Very nice natural facial expression but I would have cloned out the half circle bokeh "attached" to her head half way up the left side. It is a distracting "bump" coming out of her head. The rest of the background bokeh looks nice.

Why not just enjoy a nice picture and leave it at that. This obsession with cloning here and in many other places really annoys me. A cloned picture is not a photograph anymore. Sometimes imperfections add to the visual impact of a picture. Do we really need to go back to the airbrushed 1950's style.

I have noticed that in all you posts so far as a new member, you have only expressed negative opinons about the pictures you have commented on. Looking forward to seeing more of your work, to see if you can do better. Is there no picture that you have seen here that you like?

This is strong too. The eye dances between the two different expressions.

I never get models asking me to take their picture!

Thanks for your suggestion.

You made me laugh 😂

And I am envious.

Was this shot taken during an event, or was it a candid moment? The ambiance is fantastic!

I was on a dark street in Soho, I was trying to make high contrast compositions with the shops' lights when they asked me to take their photos. So they weren't candid shots but I had to play with the available light to get the mood I like.
