wonderful photos!
Glad to see the epm2 featured!
Efren Kabigting, great moody shot! Very mysterious, my favorite from the bunch. Well done dear…
Ilya Varivchenko pix are quite nice, but seriously, it’s starting to get VERY repetitive! Let us miss you a bit! Is it the same girl? .. Love the retouching tho 🙂 …. and that background haha paper or canvas?
Good photography is repetitive. I assume that was a compliment. 😀
This portrait is easily the best photography here. For me: the only proper shot.
The last shot is not leveled and not interesting. That would be not a keeper for me, let alone something I’d like to share.
If the idea behind this shot was symmetry, the author should look for horizontal boards. Or shoot at an angle to make them horizontal.
Or forget about symmetry and choose a different model posture – it could be even more “moody” and easily a more interesting shot.
The location and lighting are excellent. But the photography looks like a test shot for checking exposure…
its nice to see both Ilya & Efren use a rather cheap lens to make their concepts, plus the use of the “older” E-M5…Ed. i dont mind seeing Dasha or any of Ilya’s other choices for portraits…I think i just friended Dasha on FB, too bad she lives too far for asking some time.
Yeah she is indeed lovely and the image is nice, but I mean it looks as if all images come from same shoot…same model, same light, same everything…anyway I don’t want to be misunderstood, i like the image:) Just saying …I still want to kno if the background is paper or some oliphantant canvas bkdrop..those are nice but quite expensive.
I dont know if you are familar with Ilya’s photos but he did lots of sessions wiit various models. I became aware of him after I was looking for good sampleshots about that Helios 40 portrait monster in the recent past. No idea about that backgrounds you mentioned
Haven’t seen your photos. Perhaps you could show us how its done. 😉
To the actual photographers, Thanks for sharing!
The girl is good, the rest is better glossed over. As usual.
go back to your cave in El Charado lol
I agree, the girl shot is the only proper shot, the rest is the usual fluff. The equipment does not help, so they should all get an extra half point.
Yeah, you’re right, what a bunch of amateurs – nothing like the National Geographic level of photography that I’m used to seeing at a camera equipment rumors site. Which one is yours, btw? just curious…
Mine are better than yours, most certainly. Wonder how I know?
Because I only shoot bathroom selfies and blurry food pics with an original iPad and run them all through at least four Instagram filters before posting?
