>>4432114How come the background gets progressively darker each shot? Is this a metaphor?
>>44321141. Lame but formally doing what you should for a portrait of an elected official2. Too diffused, looks like sludge3. Objectively the best-lit but too editorial4. Same problem but even worse
>>4504423>Objectively the best-litBecause they lit his ears and the hair light blasts through his whole comb over so that you can count every last strand left of it? Your 'objectively' reads 'arguably'

I need some advice on posing people who are awkward in front of the camera.It's always been my dream to do these kinds of super staged portrait shoots and I've finally built up the confidence to ask some friends to take part in a shoot. However from snapping a few pics of them previously I know that they're kinda awkward in front of the camera and after doing one shoot a while ago I've realized I'm not too confident posing people yet.Making him wear sunglasses helped a bit, but other than that I didn't really know what to do other than instructing him to just look into the distance and that kind of worked.Any advice or shared experience is appreciated. I've heard that you're not supposed to micro-manage your subject's poses to make them look natural, but I'm not quite sure how to actually do that.

Is it gay for a man to pose in a museum like pic rel?
>>4496392I do lots of portraits of normies.Give directions that force them to act as their own agent. Rather than "no smile", "give me a look as if you...", helps with more realistic emotion. You should still have a vision in your mind, but it will look better letting them act it out in their own way.Avoid generic direction in favor of accessible cues. "Look more at me" is vague and be interpreted too loosely. "Point your forehead toward the camera" is very understandable.Make them move. Say in your example photo you wanted one of his arms across the front and touching his other arm. Instead of telling him to just move his arm over. Have him put it on his shoulder and then work it's way down. Movement makes poses look more natural, and let's you quickly see which positions look best.Save the photos you really want the most for the middle 20-80% of the shoot time. People will be most awkward for posing at the beginning, so just treat it like a warm up. Normies can often get posing fatigue, so start wrap up when that starts. For an hour of shooting ill, I'd expect most of the best shots to be between 20min and 45min.Have music going, some people like shots. You don't have to do small talk, but don't be quiet, it's just creepy unless you're legit super professional and your quietness comes from how hyper focused you are on getting the shot.Make sure you know your gear 100%, nothing is worse than if your subject loses confidence in your ability as a photographer.
>>4504099Also, practice posing yourself tooShowing a pose for them can be much faster than explaining and tweaking until right
>>4504099How do you deal with normies who never learned how to smile properly? What would you say to get one to smile who only knows how to grimace Any pose inspiration tips? What do you like normies to do in photos? Where do you go for portrait pose and setup inspiration? Landscape photography don’t pay the bills but damn the subject is so much fucking easier to work with
Give me a quick rundown on this guy.>inb4 a rich nepo kid with ghostwriter
If you read his blog you can tell he's a 120 IQ NPC who babbles on and on about the "photographic experience". You can tell he wants to be an artist. See attached. He isn't and never has been. Nothing profound in his snapshits.>By a similar token, I don’t believe in a conventional definition of street photography; I think of it as something on the documentary spectrum but towards the end where you don’t have a set objective or assignment, and just record what you see. In some ways, that makes it more difficult because you have to make or interpret your own story from a bunch of usually discordant pieces.His site used to be popular and I would always scroll past his slop but he's a lot better than the "gamechanger" "you need this" "stop doing x" crap what we have now e.g. phobloger, petapixel, the zoomer on dpreview etc.
>>4504266there has never been a profound photograph. historical yes. inherently profound no. they’re scans of reality so its literally never something new. photographers run on what the masses think is novel which is forever moving forward and right now, a dying concept that reality increasingly cant satisfy.
>>4504294sad take, I'd hate to be a negative person
>>4504294Holy ESL. Profundity is not the same as novelty.

What would be a good DSLR camera to start learning with? I'd preferably like to get something that I can use for anything and have for years as I don't want to put a TON of money into.Preferably under $2,000High quality build, no janky bullshit that's going to randomly stop working for no reasonHigh MP full frame, preferably over 30, ideally closer to 60 so I have more flexibility with the end resultSomething with add-on options like larger batteries and flashers, etcI'm open to any recs, feel free to share photos you've taken along with the camera you suggest, I'd like to get a feel for what it can do.
>>4504023>Fixed lensIs fixed to one focal length (a weakness)Has better optics, sharper image, smoothet bokeh (trivial)Are usually much "faster" (allows more light, which gives a thinner focus plane and better results in lowlight conditions)Usually quite big and heavy.The 50mm is a typical default, either as f1.8 or 1.4 (better), because it is extremely light and cheap for the sharpness it delivers.>I typically try to take photos from as close to the glass as possible,Wtf, why?Sounds like what you want is a macro lens.I recommend the AF-S 60mm f2.8 micro, or the 105mm f2.8.You will probably be wanting a soeedlight too, if macro is your thing. The SB-600 is a cheap option, which you can trigger wirelessly with a popup flash.>archeological sitesComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Hello, if I am looking for the vintage Canon DSLR experience on a budget, should I prefer a 5D mkI with grip for around 170$ or a Canon 1d mkIII for 100$?
Pick one and stick to it.
>>4504140Mark I for absolutel sovl, Mark II otherwise.The 1D lineup is APS-H which is a 1.3x crop sensor. If you want something like that you need the 1DS lineup.

It's over, lads. I've given up on my Instagram photography page. I watched it slowly die over the years, while other snapshitters gained tens of thousands of followers for posting reels of tHe PrOcEsS and talking about how they made the photo, only for the end result to be "in another post" so you had to check out their profiles, or they'd say "I will post the result if this reel gets X ammount of likes". Apparently people like that nowadays. I never really liked to talk about my art and photography. Always considered that a photo has to "speak" by itself. Either way, I saved some of my favorite shots, and I will dump them here. Bear in mind, they are screenshots of my posts, as I never bothered to back them up to any cloud, and recently my SSD went bonk. Was also too lazy to figure out how that data exportation feature worked on Insta. So I hope you can get over the low quality of the images.Cheers, hope you'll enjoy them. Feel free to criticize them if you want. My only intention is to share them with people who might appreciate them before they all get lost in time, like tears in the rain.
>>4503017The guy isn't wrong. You've got a good eye, but for every decent shot there's 10 stinkers and you're still well within the realm of amateurism. That aside, Instagram is indeed dead when it comes to photos. It's a short form video platform now, just like tiktok. Instagram is very explicit and open about the direction they've taken.Trying to make it big on insta by posting photos in the current year is pants on head retarded.
>>4502906Alright. You lost me here.
aesthetically pleasing images>>4502929this one i dig, because it has more story element to it>>4502911also this one>>4502902cool too>>4502921best one i thinkI think my critique of the work is it feels too safe.It doesn't feel like you took any risks creating these images.Like going into an abandoned house should make me feel something, some danger,but to me it feels a little too just like you were there you took a photo to satisfy style rather than the moment itself

>>4502943Is this genetic... the feeling wanting to kiss a "dawg", pet it on the head and say "good boy". Crazy how humans and wolves evolved to form such grandios partnerships.
I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?

Are rangefinders just point-and-shoot snapshitters with slightly more adjustability? I'm entertaining the idea of a smaller film camera but looking at pics taken by them and what they offer they seem like a glorified p&s. Am I missing something here?
I want it to fit in my coat pocket, I want it to take photos on the fly with as little prep as possible, I still want manual control, and I don't have a use or a desire for technically pristine photos. There's a use case for every major type of camera. OP needs to ask what photos he wants to take under which conditions and go from there.
i've been on rfs as my main manual focus cameras for around two years, and now i'm bad at focusing without an rf patch...>>4491816the main benefit of rangefinders for me is compactness. any given rf kit generally is smaller than its slr counterparts. this is one reason they are popular with street photographers. compact is nice when walking around with camera at hand for hours >>4499473what makes you say that? if i had a leica, i'd shoot it at a protest
I cant stop buying shitty ltm rangefinders. Ive spent enough for a great leika+lens combo in cheap soviet and japanese aluminum please help
>>4503156I have an M6 I bought after falling in love with my Canon P. It's better, it's without a doubt better, but it might not be as better by as much as you fear.
I just adjusted the horizontal calibration on my M10, no big deal but I'm basically a certified camera technician now. Ask me anything
There are like millions of setttings, how do I know which one is the best in my particular case?I've tried to watch some tutorials on Youtube, but couldn't recreate that super fancy feeling you're getting from fashion magazines. For example pic rel is my slop, is it possible to fix it somehow to make it look decent for Instagramm at least?
>>4503703>america is difficult to get pertinent info out of number plates imo vs other countriesHere in Australia if you pay the $20 you can get someone's address and name iirc. Haven't bought one in ages and they're meant to be for when you're buying a car as a background check on it, but if $20 is all you need to follow someone home after a road rage incident, it's had to have happened at least a couple times.
>>4500836My best advice is- learn the software. Learn what each area is affecting. Then take a HARD look at the picture. Is it even worth editing? If the composition is bad, it's out of focus, or it's blown out... work on taking better pictures. THEN worry about the edit. There's only one thing worse than a bad picture- it's a bad picture someone tried to fix.When you're ready to edit, decide where you want the viewer to look. Every aspect of the picture should guide the viewer's eye to that spot. Ask yourself, when you take AND edit the picture, what emotion are you trying to convey? Unless you're taking pictures of a shampoo bottle for an ad company, work on evoking emotion in the viewer. And, give yourself enough room to crop.

>>4503796I'm retarded and keep fucking up loading it or rather, I did once and now I get paranoid every time I load it. Also I have the viewfinder model (I've stuck a cold shoe rangefinder to it) and it's just kinda slow and finnicky to operate, plus the shutter speed dial is stiff. I didn't pay much thank god but it's possibly my most frustrating camera to use. I actually took it out this weekend, just couldn't enjoy it, never felt confident that I knew I was getting what I was shooting.It's mostly my skill issue but I think I just prefer SLRs and would rather carry the extra weight.
>>4503832>I know too manyAll you had to do was list some, you wanted to turn into something else lolI know plenty too, and I bet I've been doing photography a lot longer than you have, I just wanted see who you would recommend
