Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
From: William Robb I shot a make up shoot yesterday for a girl in my wife's office. She was less than happy with the pictures her photographer gave her, so I offered to make it right for her. This pose was her idea, and I'm not quire sure if I like it. Opinions welcome. In wedding photography, I contend only two opinions matter - the bride's and the bride's mama. It's technically well done; well lit. And it's what SHE wanted. The only thing I would question is why is he staring off into space instead of looking at her in adoration? Somewhere in the years ahead he's going to pay for that. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
Thanks for all the replies. The concensus pretty much agrees with my assessment as well. I have a few other shots from the same pose where the groom is looking more at the bride (though his face is pretty much invisible), but her concept was for her to be looking at the camera. Some sort of fashion model shot, I presume. I expect if I went and looked through some bridal fashion magazines I'd find something similar. Anyway, I'll process the files over the next few days and I'll probably post a geso or some such.

Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
For me, the biggest problem is the groom. He doesn't look engaged at all - more like a prop. He needs to be looking at her or you - or at least the same direction as her. So for this one, I would have him looking at her and position yourself slightly to the right so that you don't get the back of the head - keeping him in profile. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, June 29, 2009, 7:25:02 AM, you wrote: WR A URL would probably help: WR http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/temp/pose2.html WR Thanks WR William Robb WR -- WR PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List WR PDML@pdml.net WR http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net WR to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
Bill, 1) He looks like a perfect stiff, maybe stuffed and mounted for the picture. I need to see more of his face or less of it. 2) The light/shadow on the left side of her face is not so good. I think he is blocking her light. As a pose, I think it has some problems because the groom is so prominent in all black and the pretty bride in her white dress is kind of hidden. Just my 2 cents...

Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
I do like her pose. Her bright grin and left arm curve, as well as the rose in her left, are positives. His profile appears to show him looking to her left.

Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
Bill, Several people commented assuming this couple was dancing. I am not sure if that was intended to be a dancing pose, but having taken many dance photos (and dancing a bit myself), it clearly not a dancing pose. The guy's hands are barely touching lady's waist. (one wouldn't be able to lead like that). He looks like a 12-year boy who is holding a girl while being scared from not knowing how to do that. This adds some awkwardness to the guy's pose. I agree with Boris that there is too much of the guy's suit/back in the frame, even though lady's white dress contrasts it nicely, making the suit not as dominant. .. but still.. I agree with others on the guy's look. It should either be at the lady (at her head, although other variations can work for a different intent), or it should be at the photographer. After looking at the photo for a while, I think that the fact that the guy's look is somewhat up is the biggest problem. So, even with the same left-right direction, if he had turned his head slightly down (so that he would be looking at the level of her ear), it might be fine. After stairing at the photo for the last 10-15 minutes, I think it is fine as a typical studio wedding shot (but much better technically then an average wedding shot). The suggestions would just futher improve it, making it to stand out more. Igor PS. I like this recent dancing photo (not posed) of a couple: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Mixed-2009/IMGP5269.jpg Here you can see them enjoying each other with their eyes.

Re: Opinion wanted on Pose
Joe... and others... Actually - nothing to do with brides and grooms ann points to Bill's original post... I quote: I shot a make up shoot yesterday for a girl in my wife's office. She was less than happy with the pictures her photographer gave her, so I offered to make it right for her. This pose was her idea, and I'm not quire sure if I like it. Opinions welcome. Thanks William Robb Someone else posted a wedding couple shot and it looks like a bunch of you (fear of wedding group analysis members?) picked up the beat... turning into a rather comical series of comments... however, we all pretty much agree that guy had to go! ann Joseph McAllister wrote: Like it. But the groom should have some expression other than the lack of one he is expressing. Like lovingly looking his bride in the eye. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
