All you are hating but you wish you thought of it first I'm just out there doing what I love and you're here hating what does that say about you? What does it say about me?

All I do is come to look at other people's work and post gentle words of encouragement not just rage shit on anything that falls outside of the fold.

All you care about is posting stupid tumblr esthetic regurgitated crap and jerk each other off over film.

But think about this do you love photography or just ganging up on people for no reason and just looking all smirk I noticed none of you are published. I wonder.

Have any of you been published in gallery? I have.

Have any of you been featured on 500px front page? I have.

Have any of you sold a print at all? Have your works been featured in a popular public gallery? I have.

Can any of you use the zoning system to get a perfect exposure out of the cam w no process? I can.

Can any of you make a pinhole camera from scratch then process the film and enlarge it and make prints?

Are you fucking kidding me? You think I don't know I will get some flak when pushing the boundaries of what photography stands for?

Not really a series but you have a collection of semi-interesting shots

Your white balance doesn't match in any of them and is fucked in a few
Your shadows are particularly poor, others are blown out
You've went OTT with the blur/fade anywhere you've used it

The thing holding you back most is use (lack of) of light. Anyway, more effort and better results than the usual crap posted on here so keep going

98% of the /p/haggots dont even take pictures but own camera gear op, then get mad when you take a fine set of photos and complain bc they hadn't come up with the idea first.

I think the photos are really cool, give off an eerie but comforting vibe. Dont let people who dont even take photos get to your head. /p/ is a joke

Nope; you have to consider the quality of light in relations to your aperture. Blurring can’t replicate the luminance effect.

I don't know if it's intended but I feel the focus is a bit off-there are parts that are more interesting that should've been included in the focus. The selective focus is weird because it's misplaced in some parts too - this is saying from someone with glasses.
Also I found it weird to see the long nails-somehow it doesn't fit with the soft imagery.
About the lighting I can't comment much.

I do enjoy classical painting but it wasn’t the inspiration, it was just the style that worked for me that day; I enjoy the antonomy of the hands and gestures...Yousef Karsh’s hand Series was my inspo for this series. I have more pictures of hands in other lighting conditions but my internet at home isn’t working rn.

OP, I really like your photos, I'm a hand enthusiast and always find hands underevaluated. Your work pleases me.

That said, the models you use aren't always very beautiful. They don't necessarily have to be, the first one have a nice renaissance touch to them. But the same way an ugly dude can or cannot get you a beautiful fotography, I think you should consider looking into hands depending on the work you want. The ones above the mirror lack of personality, of elegant power en precision in the curves of the insides imo.
>>3316243
The palm of the upward hand is too long and the thumb is too weak. It gives a soft impresion that contrastes with its position of cointainment in the scene.

But nice work nonetheless

since I was the one who photographed it, i can tell you, it wasn't blend mode nor blur filter effect; it requires a diffusion of a particular quality of light in relations to your aperture (which obviously varies); a generalized filter effect will not reproduce the quality of the light but by all means go knock yourself out

I really like the filter that you managed to create. The atmosphere is definitely present, and I'm digging it. It's partially the choice of subjects and angles, but I think most of to achievement is in the look.

I'm going to write about the hazy hands and portraits now, not the b/w ones.
If I were to critique something, it's composition. I wouldn't go so far as to call it outright bad or anything, but could be much more interesting. I think the filters and processing that you applied could lend their atmosphere to anything - household items, portraits, hands, old summer houses, some nature... And I feel like the feelings I get from these photos are attributed to that, and not exactly the subjects.
Hands and fingers are very expressive in their own ways, and you tried to explore that. But I think they are off-key with the overall atmosphere of the shots. If I close my eyes to the style of the photos, and just look at the hands, I can feel, at best, just sensuality. Your first 2 photos are the best in terms of poses.
But I don't think that's what you were going for. If you were, I think you could have used a better-matching filter/style.
What I get from the style is a nostalgic, mysterious, tender, sad, and yes - sensual feeling. I hope I can get myself across here, but I would expect more contorted, confused poses. More plasticity. I am imagining marble sculpture - maybe of Michelangelo's style, maybe Rodin's.

In short, your style spoke to me of one thing; and your poses and framing spoke of another, when they managed to speak at all. Often it felt like mumbling instead. (cont)

The top-down shot - is it a sensual touch? Feels a bit like passing an object instead. In this context, I would expect a "farewell" sort of feeling - even if not explicit.
Your portraits, I wanted to see a little sadness, a little skin texture.

If that's not what you were going for, I'd strongly suggest you keep this filter solution that you've discovered for something stronger, otherwise you're wasting it. And then to find a more matching look for the photos you took, for next time.

With all that said, I enjoyed looking through all the photos you posted.

I would be really curious to know how you shot this - you say it's not digital blur, so I'm really curious. My first guess was a dehaze filter set to like -100, but if it's some physical setup, I'm really eager to know.

Thanks for sharing and good luck.
