Spent two hours at the local book market today. Reached the place a little while before sunset, pushed through my anxiety and tried my hand at taking some photographs.Feel free to post any pictures you /p/ros took at any book fair or local market in your area.

>>4486697guy reading bootlegged books
>>4486697managed to nervously ask a vendor for permission lol
>>4486704
>>4486706
>>4486697I don't like the outfitI don't like the setCrop subjectWhack composition
>>4486709Alright, how would you crop it? Closer to the subject? Tho I cant do much about the outfit :/
>>4486709>cropped in tighter>added a tiny bit of cyan in the shadowsIs this better?
>>4486714>>4486713Sorry, asking for details or specifics about feedback just means you are butthurt lol
>>4486715uhhhh I am just trying to learn and improve. There's absolutely nothing to be butthurt about. Besides, isn't that the point of feedback? Trying to fix mistakes?
>>4486716No here on /p/
too self-conscious for a real self portrait tee hee
saar status?
>>4486761>redeemedI have a few more pics
>>4486697Actually very good shots.You even got some /p/haggots seething.
>>4486716Ignore the shitposter, he's the one who tried to pass some myspace tier shots as his own and got called out on it
>>4486945>You even got some /p/haggots seething.Yes because OP is brown and the photos include brown people.This is just normal 4chan behaviour as far as I'm concerned.
>>4486697these are pretty good. much better than the usual autistic, anti-aesthetic slop we usually get in here. keep posting saaaarrr
this is unironically a great set, great location, all shots are pretty well done. Great job anonistan!!
>>4486716anon, this is seriously one of the most toxic spaces on the internet. You have good intentions and an interesting place to shoot, but looking for validation or actual feedback here is futile. The only way a photo would ever be appreciated here is if it was a phone pic of the latest and greatest 60mp cam that youtube is shilling
>>4486706Which lens was this one shot on? I've been looking for a decent portrait lens and I love how the shot turned out. Also gj with the pictures and thanks for making /p/ a better place.
>>4486714I like this crop, but for the colors I like the previous one better
>>4486697I like this one anon. The lighting is great and the composition is great too, I don't agree with the other guy saying you need to crop more, the whole goal is to see the books. To me there's a slight rotation of the main left line of books that I don't like. Also for the composition I would've stepped one or two steps to the right I think, this kind of angle is overdone, taking a pic of X subject through a frame Y (here the books pile) by just putting yourself perfectly in front of said subject will limit you. By taking a step to the right you would cut a bit of the guy and make it look like he's leaning on a pile of books, making the guy look more charismatic. Or maybe you can shoot in landscape mode, so the legs are cut and we see more books, but idk if there's more books on the right and left. Also the unlit cigarette is kinda strange, idk if it's your friend posing but cigarette + this light would create a cool smoke effect. The other pics are snapshits with no composition, you can do better
>>4486706 nice portrait.today i learned that english is a major language in pakistan>>4486699nice light. i'd drop the shadows dramatically to emphasize the hightlight.
>>4486967Thanks! I'll take the advice anons gave here and try to improve next time.
>>4486963>>4486967>>4486945I've got a few more
>>4486977>Which lens was this one shot on?Canon RF 50mm F/1.8 STM
>>4487200You've made a great point with the composition critique. I will try to avoid cliched angles next time!> Or maybe you can shoot in landscape mode, so the legs are cut...This one is shot in landscape. If you don't mind, how could I go about improving this?
>>4487280
>>4487238>nice light. i'd drop the shadows dramatically to emphasize the hightlight.Like this?
>>4487238>today i learned that english is a major language in pakistanAll official documents are in english. Education is in english, etc. Tho it sucks for the ~40% uneducated people who are stuck in a system where they can't do anything, even open a bank account or get a minimum wage job since they can't read/speak/write in english.
>>4486697A fellow Lahori on 4chan, let's gooo Lahore Lahore aey Beautiful photos veerji. You nicely captured the atmosphere of Mall road and winters' light.
>>4486704>>4486706is your country just always this orange or is it post processing?
>>4487284NTA yes something like that
>>4487308It's actually a bit of both. The smog and pollution in the air make give the whole place a grungy yellow/orange feel. I did take some artistic liberty with the color grading in LrC tho
>>4487300Thank you, saar! Another Lahori on the chinz of all places?? Who woulda thunk.
>>4487465There were lots(by this I mean one dozen) of paki anons on /int/ back in 19/20. Then gorment banned 4chin. Now you occasionally see a weird autist on /int/ who boasts about having 3 naukars and being a useless piece of shit. Anyway photography scene is good in Lahore but it's mostly fashion, wedding and tourist core. What kind of photography you do regularly?
>>4486697>>4486699>>4486706>>4487280These are my favourite of the bunch, nice thread anon. It's good to see a different setting for once.
>>4487468I don't spend time on other boards much just /p/ and /tv/,>Anyway photography scene is good in Lahore but it's mostly fashion, wedding and tourist core.I'm so done with all the mega cringe wedding reels being spammed by local wedding photographers on IG. shaadi is the only thing that people spend big on.>What kind of photography you do regularly?Architectural. I'm not talking about the bullshit, hyper-commercial shitboxes being shoved down our throats by developers under the guise of "aesthetic modern living" lmao. I'm an architect, I do photography as a hobby and get decent commissions every couple of months tho, but thats mostly because I am picky about the people I work with.What about you? What kind of photography interests you?
>>4487482>I'm so done with all the mega cringe wedding reels being spammed by local wedding photographers on IG. Kek, totally agree with you. Young women consume all of that wedding slop so there is a big market for that.>shaadi is the only thing that people spend big on.Whole punjab only spend big on two things, weddings and food >>Architectural. I'm not talking about the bullshit, hyper-commercial shitboxes being shoved down our throats by developers under the guise of "aesthetic modern living" lmao.I hate them too. Ugly fucking concrete and glass luns in the air. >I'm an architect, I do photography as a hobby and get decent commissions every couple of months tho, but thats mostly because I am picky about the people I work with.That's cool man. Do you work with people like Kamil Khan Mumtaz and people who are trying to revive traditional Punjabi style haveli architecture? >What about you? What kind of photography interests you?I use to do tourist core photography of the old meme city. Then few years ago I became depressed and lost my job so I gave up. But I am thinking about picking up the camera once again...
>>4487484>That's cool man. Do you work with people like Kamil Khan Mumtaz and people who are trying to revive traditional Punjabi style haveli architecture?Not with his firm personally, but definitely some of the very few top ones in Lahore.>I use to do tourist core photography of the old meme city. Then few years ago I became depressed and lost my job so I gave up. But I am thinking about picking up the camera once again...Always wanted to do those "viral" photo walks of the ol' meme city but haven't gotten the chance yet. Anyway we should talk more, feel free to post your IG or whatever.
>>4487614Can you please drop you IG? Or let me make a porton mail
>>4487284yeah that's better. >>4487288why not add urdu to all that stuff?
>>4487280kino backlighting
>>4487782yeah for sure, share a proton mail, if you feel that's better.
>>4487841>why not add urdu to all that stuff?System is too corrupt, inept and broken for any major reforms. This is peak 3rd world lmao. In a way its cool tho, at least a decent chunk of people can communicate in english, makes working and learning easier.
>>4487881Man I made the email, then 4chong rage banned me. Then when I tried to register with my mail on 4chonk porton blocked my shit. I tried, Lahori anon
>>4486949Nope, nice to see were still just lying here
>>4486706superb portrait
>>4486706>sickly skin colorsmust be wormji or SNOY
>>4486709It's a beautiful thing to watch someone turn board schizo over your throwaway thoughts. Have fun.
>>4488969>I enjoy ruining the boardPls go
>>4486706Great shot anon. I genuinely like all your photos here, your shots have a lot of soul. Keep on doing what you're doing.
>>4486697Based Pakastani. Good for you man. Don't let /p eople discourage you. Guaranteed if you keep doing it, you'll get better and better over time and find your own style.
