PJC Imagery

I like 1 and 3 the best.  Yes, I agree the white dress Is to lose up top.  Peace!

Not a fan.  Peace!

Good job, defiantly better than most starting off.  I like image one best, it's well lit and interestingly framed.  Not a big fan of the background but that's very much just personal preference.  ...

Nice shot.  It's hard to shoot in direct sun this is as good as one can get without using reflectors or other lights.  I don't like the framing though.  As someone already mentioned it's ...

I see it on the left side not on both but... Maybe, but out of all the main studio types of lighting this comes closest to Rembrandt, in my opinion.  Maybe, one could say it looks a little like ...

Nitpicking?  Almost got the triangle there and her left side has much darker shading making it appear like different lighting ratios.  Doesn't really matter what you called it but this rendition ...

Improvement over the last set.  However, I'd like to see more consistency, these look like they could have been take by 3 different people.  Peace!

It's close to a Rembrandt now.  Your original was a quite good capture and this is my favorite of the retouched versions that I've seen on here.  Peace!

Yep, your edit/tone down made the improvement.  Nice. Peace!

Very nice as is. I know it's a little flat and some mentioned to add some pop to it, but I that the mode it has as is. The horizon line is normally in a place that it shouldn't be but that doesn't ...

I like it, I don't see any real issue with distortion but I do agree you could have shot a little further back, it is a little tight and that would help with any distortion. I would also recommend ...

Well done.  I don't think your use of the soft box hurt any of these images.  It seemed well balanced to me for the hazy day you had.  I liked to see that you mixed it up and used a kicker light ...

The short answer is yes those would be considered environmental portraits.  EP's are portraits shot that include the environment a person is currently connected to.  Peace!

Yes, over head light/main light is to high and could be larger/closer.  There is a fill light lower which is just as bright or brighter than the main light, which is a problem.  Lighting ratio's ...

Overall it's a good shot.  Good pose, capture and crop.  A few things I don't like.  The specular highlights are to hot for me. I would have tone them down a little in post or better yet dealt ...

Okay, makes sense now.  Frequency Separation is a great technique and I think you executed it well here.  Maybe, show the before and after though.  Peace!

I like where your going with this.  I just posted something similar on another thread here.  Some images are great and speak for themselves but to post something that isn't self explanatory with ...

Okay, I guess some like posting pointless images.  Just because you have a camera and can click the shutter release doesn't mean you should post the results.  Of course you have every right to ...

+1.  Peace!

Just came a crossed this post. To me when it's done intentionally like in Hurley's case it works, ie you either crop tight and cut off part of the head or leave some headroom. I don't like when the ...
