Hi Ethan,

It's great to have another full time photographer! Welcome to OPF and great that you jump right in! Are these as shot or do they get a special post-processing workflow with any shadow lightening, curves, repairs etc.

The second picture interests me because it's about here roundness and pose against the blocks of architecture, as urban as they might be. I looked at in B&W and I think that's really worth considering.

Who is this model and what is the end use of the images?

Thanks for sharing,

Asher

Hey, Thanks for the warm welcome. And these pictures are PP. I use Corel, Photoshop, and lightroom. I usually edit everything unless its just an amazing picture. Mainly only mess with curves,levels, skin, and facial issues, saturation, and contrast. I really do not do a lot of editing, just depends on the picture.

As for the use of these pictures, they where used in the building of a portfolio. When the portfolio was finished and posted, she received a interview/audition the next day. And the model is Christian Coon, a local girl from my town. Very pretty and awesome to work with.

I do a lot of portfolio work, senior pictures, auto, or just portraits in general.

I also checked out this photo in black and white, and I actually have a edit of it in black and white, but i love the blown out building, for some odd reason.

Thanks for dropping and and enjoy all my pictures.
