New Joiners - People #461

I want to highly credit this portrait for its studio efforts, the styling here with your model, really suits this direction of lighting. How you’ve left a great amount of space for optional graphics is wise during studio sessions. Great shot!

Congratulations! This landscape portrait immediately caught my eye and is such a strong approach to street photography. I appreciate your detailed notes behind this capture, I'd suggest shooting at an ISO 200 for a strong lighting approach next time. Fantastic photo!

This is excellently framed, I like the tones used here, and it feels such a natural approach to portrait photography. You have created a warm narrative, the sun filling the frame and your model. Try posing your model towards the light for less shadow in your next shoot!

"Working People - Tewesbury" - great subjects captured and colour tones with the environment. If you're interested to pursuing portraits like this in a future photoshoot, bring a fill in flash, as the lighting will combat the spotlights. However, practise different angles!

Thank you for submitting this photo to this contest, great subjects captured and colour tones with the environment. This makes for a strong documentary portrait looking at sport culture within communities. It would make a great series, try shooting at 125 shutter!

I like the tones used here, and thank you for mentioning the production details behind this portrait. I suggest that you should shoot this on film and digitally retouch in post. Research the U2 1990s portraits in studios, this could be an inspiration.

Congratulations, During a heatwave, is an incredible portrait that reminds us all of blissful summer moments. The styling and make up adds to a narrative which could be considered as a fashion or music artist portrait. This is an excellent addition to your portfolio.

I’ve chosen this image to review to further commend your use of layers, and you’ve balanced the lighting so well. The main emphasis of the narrative of the sensitivity of pregnancy is gently shown with a soft focus. Great job!

Thank you for entering this contest! I found your image very reminiscent of documentary portraiture, however in a landscape format, this makes it all the more powerful to your narrative. I suggest continuing this approach but using 35 mm film.

I really love how delicate this portrait and the sense of calm it brings to the eye. The cinematic value this landscape shows, adds motion to this special moment that you have brilliantly captured. It's excellently well framed and levelled with the horizon.

"Embracing Solitude: Discovering Soulmates in Nature's Beauty and the Whispers of Every Strand" - This is a beautiful title for a moving and theatrical portrait. I very much like this approach, and the tonals are well-balanced. Please continue this style in a fashion portrait!

"Express Your Beauty" - This is a strong approach to Boudoir photography, This portrait has so many theatrical references with lighting, styling and pose, red is a powerful colour to use for a portrait as a backdrop. I’m certain it draws any viewer in to it.

Thank you for submitting this photo to this competition, great layering captured and grey tones with the shadows. I like the cinematic value this landscape shows, especially with your subject. I suggest that you use black and white 35 mm film for more grain!

Really fun portrait that focuses on both stillness and movement, you’ve captured your subject at a wide angle where we as an audience can take in the environment. The sweeping road creates an angle for the eye to follow, congrats!

I’ve chosen this image to review and to further commend your approach to documentary portraiture. I'm very interested in your take for focal length between the foreground and back. the sand has so much detail and then subtly strays into a blur. Excellent!
