>>4399925If your strobe can't induce a stroke, you're ngmi
>>4399925Was this taken with an OM5?
>>4399929Most likely>canon r5ii, r3, or r1>sony a9iiiBecause professionals want dramatically noisier cameras for some reason. Maybe it's to make us feel better about opting for aps-c?Or, incompetent boomer left it on ttl+auto iso
>hot pixel so obvious i could see it without zooming inright by the left earyikes.>>4399933knowing how bad most so called professional photographers are, P mode and ttl is likelymost professional photographers aren't actually any good and most of them have assistants to edit, crop to compose and do all the lighting setup. the interns are way more talented than them, and you. see: annie leibovitz. hasn't done any actual work since the 80s, just auto mode snapshits and lets her assistants sort it out.
>>4399925It creates a certain mood that is a good fit for the subject. It works because it's Trump, but it wouldn't work for just anyone.
>>4399925Well, it's a hell of a lot better than his last official portrait at least. What an absolute shitter that was.
Fuck photos, we need to go back to paintings being made for official portraits of heads-of-state.[EXIF data available.

>>4399946Absolutely love these two.
>>4399946>>4399947Sperm running down the forehead in the first one, and covered in menstrual blood in the other. What is not to love?
>>4399947Excellent. Perfectly captures both history of British empire and the subject. Old guy wearing uniform with companion butterfly standing in a shower of blood.
>>4399925Familiarity. Mugshot rehash. Noticing patterns even subconsciously with a slight surprise causes dopamine release which is why music and art in general relies on repetition with evolving variation.
>>4399925Looks like a character selection screen for a WWE game.WTF is that fucking lighting
>>4399948Weirdo
>>4399981it's monster lighting.
>>4399925histrionic persona
>>4399949>seething

>>4399925>What makes it work?burgers and diet coke most likely
>>4399925look in his eyes. they're using a wide rectangular softbox for some fucking reason, which is why he's disgustingly shiny and starts to become shrouded in shadow at the bottom. it's also far too close, which is why the background is dark. there might be a reflector on the left side? that's about it.overall just very unprofessional. maybe he brought in some of those H1B Indians to shoot it
>>4399925>both eyes and ear in focusThere's no way to sugarcoat this, this is some amateur shit. Can't they even afford 85 f/1.2?
He knew exactly what he was doing with this photograph. Dark background. Bottom up lighting. American flag highlighted. He's trying to look like some sort of supervillain, but he just sort of comes across like a Stage actor in costume. I'm actually quite surprised that the photo was deemed acceptable.
>>4399925It doesn’t. It makes him look like someone told him not to shit himself and he’s staring back at them defiantly and trying.
>>4399925>what makes it work? Does it work? It looks like a movie poster for captain capeshit 13

>>4399945It's a good picture of him, but it's overall flat.>>4399946I really like this as a portrait, but damn does it ring alarm bells knowing what we now know about the left and Obama. Surely some satanic shit behind this. And the sperm on the temple... pure humiliation ritual. >>4399947Pretty badass for a King ngl
>>4400131Surely. I have seen a satanic shrubbery or two in my time, and my medievally stupid morons, this is definitely one of them. I can tell by the pixels.
