Yeah it was like "nice....nice....looks good.......wow!!!" would have been tougher to pick if all had the same lighting setup.

 

Yeah she is a bit better at posing so I can get a bit jiggy with the lights. They have to hit the right spot because everything is gridded.

 

I had some fun at Fish Ranch Road a couple weekends ago!

LOOKS absolutely amazing!

 

here is the only photo I can put up at the moment... model and I are still going through proofs. I did this one up to show the final effect/look I was going for.

 

You go over every picture with the model?

how does your work flow go from shoot to final ?

 

generally, I send the model proofs to check out. girls usually like different photos from me, at least their favorite. plus, since most of my work is trade, they deserve the photo that they feel will best enhance their portfolio. (dont worry, I delete the worst photos from the proofs, so they wont ever get something i hate).

I go through all the photos and rate the good ones with 1 star. I then go through the 1 stars and 2 star the best ones. Sometimes i've gone as far as 4 and 5 stars to pick the very best.

The model then gives me 10-20 of her favorites, I "flag"/cross check with my good ones to get about 2-10 ones we both like. I always decide what ones in the end to give. If she has an absolute fav, she gets that, plus my absolute favorite. Then a few more extras.

Photos like I posted above, a model will sometimes get more of, cause it takes me far less time to touch up, then say:
http://www.destroy-inc.com/photos/malice/blackrock.jpg
which takes me 10+ hours (as much as 60). The above photo, in high resolution may only take up to an hour at high rez, 20 minutes at web sized.

I usually deliver 1-2 high resolution, and the rest in web sized resolution. It takes far less time to touch up something small. 95% of the time, they aren't ever needed at high resolution. (people are like WTF why wouldn't you do them all high rez, what if a magazine wants them. i always say...I can redo them. Time saved not touching up now > time to redo.)

I always export, and touch up for my target destination.

I hope that covers my general work flow.

 

Anybody else here going to GTA@buttonwillow on the 21-22?might be making a trip down there to watch and take pics of course

I have a chance to purchase two prime lenses.

A 28mm prime and a 50mm prime. which of the two would you gve as an all around use and for some car shoots with the rare portrait photos.

If I cant get both, which should I go with?

FS: (For Sale) Canon EOS Kiss X/Rebel XTi/400d + lenses (sold sep) - NASIOC

I think the 28mm might be better for all around use and car shots. I wouldn't recommend using it for portraits though.

50mm is a bit tight on cropped sensor and sometimes you won't be able to back up enough to get everything you want in the frame. It's awesome for portraits though.
