Personally Disordered Shoot

[TheJackyl]

This was my first shoot getting to work with a DSLR I borrowed from a friend. Nikon D40 with standard lens. Benefit: much better camera than my Canon Powershot A620 Drawback: new very different camera, I was not used to it, couldn't be sure what settings were going to look good later.

About the show: This was my fiance's BA show in Graphic Design and Metals. She created and installed the designs on the walls and floor. They are basically giant vinyl stickers.

The hanging pieces are bracelets, rings, and chokers are also all designed and made by her. The wearer will either enjoy the way the piece will change as it moves or the wearer might become obsessive over attempting to control the piece. That's kind of it, basically. She has an artist statement about it somewhere but it is pretty long.

Materials for the pieces are plexi, guitar strings, clear vinyl nubs, and colored paper.

3 days, no comments... ouch

Hi,

Don't worry too much about no comments it happens a lot on here. I look at it as though no one has anything bad to say about your shots.

I like them! here are some quick personal preferences for you.

I would like to see a little more saturation in your shots.

The shallow DOF on shots 1 and 4 is nice. It's not too much which I like.

Number 5 has a slightly distracting background behind the main subject. below is my take on it with a 1:1 crop.

Now go out and get yourself a nice Canon DSLR:lol:
