I probably should not comment...


Pics are not interesting... background not interesting and may even be distracting.

Pics do not reflect the changes in season whatsoever... neither do the backgrounds reflect anything about seasonal changes... total fail here in you asked me.

Weak composition in all pics.

Pics #3 & #6 - Blown highlights in the gown. Can't see details there.. can't even tell if the model is wearing different gowns if you don't look properly...


Lastly... model supposed to be bride but there's nothing bride-like in her expressions. I could say that the model is bordering on nonchalance in her expression...

I'm sure these comments too will fall on deaf ears... like so many before them.

what is this ?? I'm really speechless.

wb out, color out, overblown highlight , cropping out. You did it on purpose ?

The only presentable shots in term of composition is #6 despite the lack to eye contact. The rest shouldn't be posted at all as it's some typical "facebook point and shoot" quality pic that failed miserably.

come on bro, be a man go attend some photography course !

2,3,4,5,6 have inaccurate WB. Did you notice #2 where the subject is in orange whereas the BG is in blue? This is called WB inbalance and can be corrected using a colour gel..

Anyway...... http://fotop.net/dragon_baby/Agnes_Lim

#4-#6 the color balancing is atrocious. You can't say OK WINTER FEEL TIEM and just drag the temperature and saturation sliders to the left and call it a day.

Haiyo, i didnt say 4 season as in 4 season of weather did I ?

This is an art series. Its metaphoric and up for interpretation.





lol ok now when I read again "OK WINTER FEEL TIEM and just drag the temperature and saturation sliders to the left and call it a day" really sounds damn funny !!! hahahahahaaaah

But no, its not about winter feel la



Its about the emotion the photos give when I lower the color temp but the subject is actually shot with Full CTO gel so the photos are diff from if I shoot without the gelled flash.

If no gel flash the photos cannot be reproduce by simply dragging temp slider. Spending hours on PP maybe can i dunno.




Thanks for sharing the photo, very nice =)

OK. So it's not the normal winter, spring, summer and fall season. Could you please tell me what other 4 seasons there are? Do explain because we cannot tell from the pics.

As for emotions, as far as the model is concerned, emotion like I said earlier borders on nonchalance which means almost zero emotions. So, again, what are you trying to portray?

As for colors, well, like the others have pointed out we get the feeling that the WB is all out! If that is not your intent, then please do explain why the cool color tone?

If this is called art, then I would rather just snap using random settings at random objects, introduce motion blur and post processing in funky color tones and call it abstract. That, I think would convince more people than your series of shots here.

All that you photos give is a feeling of confusion when people look at them. They are questioning whether the shots are done correctly. Is that your aim for this series?

What emotion you were trying to portrait then?

Looks blown out wei. Why the color of skin looks avatar.

Forever no improvement. I prefer close up or at least background aren't distracting.

John, i give up.
best of luck in your art.

ahahaha everytime i come in this showcase i just want to see how forumers trying to give advise to TS but always goes to deaf ears..

If you want the model to be sad, happy, angry, it's up to your interpretation, at least that's why TS said.

@shootkk If you may allow me to requote one of your comments here since I find it really helpful and appropriate

Wholley Molley,

Actually it's not that hard. If you do not really know on how to shoot a certain theme. Just copy! And by copy I mean looking up to the pictures you like online. Memorize how it is composed/framed, how the model was posed, what is in the background/foreground, lighting conditions! Nobody said this is wrong. We all learn by looking at pictures by the pros and try to emulate them. All you need is to compile all the pictures you like or that you think they're good (I humbly recommend Dragon Chow's works, ahleong or shinchan) and just print it out on papers. Bring them to your shoot and tell the model you want her posed according to paper. Frame accordingly and if done correctly, you'd get a good shot.

Alternatively, you could get those Taiwanese Model Posing books. They help in your model posing skills. Also, bring them to your shoots...

Note what shootkk mentioned about "mental picture". Visualize what you have in mind before the shoot. Just don't go into the shoot without anything planned, it'll definitely turn disastrous

My useless 2 cents
