Hello,
I started photography about 4 months ago and I've been trying to learn as much as I can. I've only been able to do mostly landscape, still life, etc., however, I'm really wanting to do portraiture so I'm hoping I could get some advice & critiques concerning the job I've done.
Below, I've taken about 9 shots with a subject (embedded
only one, and I provided a link to the others since that's what the rules say).
I know that most of the problem in these is overexposure of the sky and one is pretty dark, but other than those two obvious things I would really love to hear other people's comments!
I am concerned about posing, post processing, composition, just the obvious things.
PS: Do these look sharp enough for you guys? So many portraits I see on studio's web sites are so extremely sharp I don't know if it has to do with their lens (I have a 28-90mm 5.6 kit lens
) or post processing techniques - anyone have a clue? I actually had to sharpen every one of these!
These pictures were taken with: Canon 400D with 28-90mm f/5.6 lens. EXIF data is below.
