well when my model arrives next week for the photo-shoot, we will do at least one shot with a plain white shirt and add the backdrop pattern over top in photoshop..... but I got a few other ideas as well...

Well there you have it, getting a good portrait is as easy as taking candy from a baby!

But if you win a competition then your photography skills are surely enough to comment on someone else their photos right?

Also I find that judging is different then giving constructive comment on photos.
With judging it's all personal and I simply say what I like and don't like about a photo without actually going in to technical aspects. With C&C that's one point you talk the most about but surely personal comments help as well to see what part or which photo works for someone else.

I've read some of your comments and I think they are good, so don't talk yourself down so much. Everyone is qualified to have an opinion.


true, but usually the least informed opinions are the ones most generously shared.. lol!

But seriously, it's fun, try it!

I think Jill Greenberg had some commercial work with these types of busy backgrounds a couple years back...

lenscrafters ads, I believe... saw it somewhere.

We call that 'stubborn'

Also, what's with that nasty flash reflection?
he jumped in while I was just setting up...we all know flash glare is simple pool table bank shot, get the right angle and it's gone..

Nobody ever appreciates a true artiste... while they're living!

here is another test shot while I was setting up:
this one my boy climbed in... The chair at least matches the backdrop.. I chased him off for a bath, hot dogs and ketchup all over him lol!

I'm just trying to find something actually looks retro...
the model I have coming over next week does a retro styled burlesque dance routine.
Everybody shoots her in b&w and Sepia...
I figure f' it, I can do color, modern and retro at once....
Gerri hates the backdrop, but I'm thinking it can work.
