Daily Deviation

Given 2012-02-10

Unfortunately... I don't like this one very much. I hate to say that, too, because I normally LOVE your work, and your photos are an inspiration to me.

It's not your fault, though. I think the posing and lighting, along with the camera being too close, really bring this shot down.

The lighting is too bright and too harsh. Your skin is blown out in the highlights to pure white. Your gorgeous, gorgeous hair, which in all your other pictures is a lovely, deep, rich shade of black, looks pale and washed out here.

I think the camera is a little too close to your head, which makes your forehead look a little big. It creates a foreshortening that makes your head look very big relative to your body. It also means your expression just looks uncomfortable.

I hate to be so critical, since, as I've said, I love your pictures and always look forward to your submissions. Unfortunately, the photographer just didn't do you justic.

In a way, I can't help thinking of Vampire: The Masquerade when I saw her place skin and elegant look.

i disagree with the comments in the critique. i think the overexposded skin color and harsh light are indicative of the hard lifestyle the "character" in the picture is living.

I had a few other pieces to finish but I will be doing this piece very soon, once I get the requested pieces out of the way :D.

Mind you I am still learning art.
