Critique for Ian L

Hands are scrunched up and the face is over dark. I'm immediately drawn to those two part of the image. I like the way Carla is very concentrated in the frame.

This image and the next are infra-red shots. As a general thing you can see how it has made the skin tones wonderful and smooth and the classic light foliage all around. Though it does leave the eyes a little dark and the lips a little pale.

Depends how purist you want to be about this, for me I would apply a little dodge and burn to eyes, lips and nipples.

I do like the shadows on Carla's body, they work very well.

Nice pose, nice camera angle, face is just slightly too shady.

Poor girl's goosebumps are really showing here! Everything looks a little harsh, the highlights are a bit hot and there seems to be some break down in the gradients of the tones. The hand is very awkward.

I like this and I like that you have positioned Carla right off to the edge, that works well. The bank side looks much more artificial than I was expecting for the day.

Love the crop and composition of this. Certainly the best of the set in my mind.

I run regular workshops for beginners and experts alike. I like to run a mix of styles and types. Masterclasses, portfolio builds, technical and artistic sessions available.

Current courses available.
