I am looking to find a host for the next technique challenge.
I would LOVE it if I could find someone to give tips and advice on professional looking portraits. It could be on taking the shot, editing or both
***Who comes to mind (on this site) when you think of awesome professional portraits? *** Recommendations and shout-outs please!
Do you think that would be a good topic for the next technique challenge?
Your skills in Professional Portraits have been admired by fellow 365 community - So who is willing and able to take on Professional Photography for the next Technique Challenge??????
@lorrainerb Lorraine does some awesome portraits...everything she posts is awesome. The other one that comes to mind is Tracy @tracywilliams I'm excited about this challenge. Portraits are something I avoid cause I suck at them!!
Hi Kathy - I would LOVE tips on this - especially non-studio shots - I've been asked to take two people recently for professional use and I intend taking them outdoors so I would be very grateful for any help with that.
@k1w1 Christine, @myhrhelper
Kathy Burzynskiwow thank you for such a great compliment, but I would definitely ask Tracy @tracywilliams as she has such a wide (and fabulous) variety of portraiture in her collection. : )
Ok here is a thought - one idea is to have a 2 person team since there is the shooting the photo and the post processing when taking professional portraits. DOES it make sense to have a 2 person team to host?? Is covering both too much or can one person do both?
Also - Jocelyn has agreed to host the challenge - what is your thoughts on this Jocelyn? - I saw the link to her portraits very impressive.
I'm not in the running, I hate seeing non-regular posters doing posts like they know it all, and I stopped posting pictures in February (after 2 years) so count me out, even though I loves me some portraits. I could do tutorials on using film, film SLRs to buy and Model Mayhem and working with models, but there's much better portrait peeps.
@jocelynphotography Yes I would love to have you host the next technique challenge featuring Professional Portraits.
Some have studio's most of us do not.
Thank you so much!
@myhrhelper tough one on a 2 person challenge... i think for the purpose of a general "here's a challenge" type situation its fine. For me, I work on coming up with the idea of the image - sometimes this involves the model.
Post processing is done by me because I know the feel that I want to achieve - if I were to use a retoucher, I'd want to give them a brief about the point of the image and what i'm trying to portray.
Well both Tracy Williams and Jocelyn Jones agreed to host the challange!!!
Tracy is willing to co-host with Jocelyn so hopefully we can get the two of them. Both of them are amazing photographers and it would be so nice.
I dont think I got my point across there.. what i mean is that if you're going to have a challenge where the retoucher is different to the photographer, you may want to make it part of the challenge for the two to talk to each to convey the idea of the image
Tweets ahoy!
