Well done. I like the color and processing. The only critique would be that the ones shown here, 3 of them are lip-locks and there isn't much variation in regards to how much you're showing (closer portraits, etc). Assuming you have others from the day, they look great.

Distillery district downtown? Nice shots.

[Raphael V]

Awesome, like the colours.

Nice colors!

[ErikM]

Thanks all. I do have lots more to process and they did express that they wanted a 'kiss' picture so they did do a whole lot of kissing ;)

I have some normal posed shots and non-kissing shots to come :D

[auroraskye]

If the couple wants kissing, by all means, who cares if all their photos are kissing.. that's my opinion.. the last e-session I did, there was tons of kissing, but hey they were doing it, I wasn't telling them! :P

[ErikM]

Yep... I did give them some direction but they seemed most interested in kissing LOL

I will be posting a few more from our shoot later tonight :)

[Matt30D]

How do you get your colors so nice..is that in pp?

[ErikM]

Actually I have not touched the saturation at all with these... only a contrast bump and a slight curves tweak.

The 5D can be given credit for these colours! :D

Great job man! I love #2 and also the last one.
My only crits would be...I'd love to see more tight shots and I'm curious if you could do anything else to the last one composition wise? Something doesn't feel right for me? Hmmm...I could be on crack tho.

[ErikM]

Agreed on the last one... they are too central in the picture... I have to re-edit that one :D

Funny, I generally shoot very tight so I was trying to move myself away from that a little. I did shoot a few tight ones though!

I am shooting some real estate portraits tonight but when I get home I am going to process the rest of the batch.

Appreciate the comments Bartek!

[Philco]

Really nice set....very pretty with nice use of available light. The couple looks relaxed and happy, as if you weren't there, so it looks like you had a great rapport with them.

Nice shots Erik. Love the rich colors. At least you got them to kiss. The last e session I did. I was lucky to get them to hold hands. They were young and so shy in front of the camera.

Hey Phil, your comments are much appreciated mate!

This was my first e-session for 2008 and I felt like I was going to be a bit rusty. Your e-session article was a huge help for me!

[ErikM]

Greg, you are right on man.... I can't complain if they want to kiss ;)

Never got around to working on the rest from this shoot but I will tonight!

[Pomona2006]

Nice shots! I love #2 - my only issue is that I feel like the female's legs are lost in it - at first I thought she was standing behind the barrel, rather than sitting on it.

[ErikM]

A few more. As always C&C is very welcome :)

Beautiful pictures. I like 5 a lot.

[jenne]

I love the Distillery District! So much character... these photos are great! I really like the first one of your second set. Your pp'ing is definitely to my liking!

[ErikM]

Thanks Victor and Jenne :)

[song4themoon]
