I really like #2, #3,#7, and #8

[phamster]

8 looks just a tad hot.. but all very good

phamster

[akphotography07]

yea it looks hot because her jacket or hoodie was so white that it was hard to get everything exposed correctly while not blowing the hoodie so what I did was try to burn it in some thanks for the comments :)

[SALT]

pretty good set!

[BrianMC]

These are good shots.....don't you just love the cold :)

[lil_miss]

Beautiful colours :D lovely shots!

[shannyD]

i really like your processing on all of them.. they are all really really really great!

i dont have a favorite because i love all of them.

great job with them.. the colors are soo friggen vibrant, and just wonderful.

[DigitalSpecialist]

Alex, nice work. Keep it up, your going to be very busy in your future!!!

[ejicon]

Nice processing on all of them.
In #5 & #6:
Here eyes looks strange due to the reflection of the snow and over-processing or something of that sort. Everything else really pops out. Nicely done.

[akphotography07]

Thanks ill keep that in mind that the eyes in pp are too strong thanks ill back off IDK I was to eager due to both of them having lighter colored eyes I dont get that chance very much but ill know to tone it down some thanks for the advice

[harroz]

your processing is soo damn awesome, so clean and crisp.!

the photos are great :-)

[akphotography07]

Thank you so much I take photography as an art form at first I leaned towards the Dave Hill look I love that style however its not fiting for the field of photography I am in so I limit it but I took what I knew from that and applied the lovely contrast but softness to my current works but yes thank you so much for the complement I love it here on this site its much more useful than flickr people actually talk about your work here thanks :)

[akphotography07]

Would it blow anyones mind to know that I am only 19 year young :) yep.

[cfpackerfan]

Fantastic shots, well done!

[Karizmatik]

I agree, I like the processing. +Contrast is fun stuff.

I checked out your Website and just felt I had to tell you - "exelence" - Wrong spelling.... Err well, you actually have a fair few spelling mistakes on there - Maybe grab the dictionary out and just go over everything or maybe throw it all into Microsoft Word and ABC check?

I'm not meaning to sound petty or anything but I know when I'm looking for professional services on the internet, if something as simple as the spelling is wrong, I'll exit right out, so I'd hate for you to potentially lose business over something as simple as this, 'cause your Photos are quite nice!

[akphotography07]

Thank you so much. I threw it in spell check so I thought I will redo it once again thank you so much for looking out for me. Yea spelling was never my subject in school and it really haunts me so I will go back and fix it thank you so much. See this is the kind of feedback I like because it helps me out thanks again means alot.

[babeesarang85]

wow!19 yrs old?!you got talent!i love all the pics!

[akphotography07]

Thanks it means alot to know people give me fuel for my fire :)

[Karizmatik]

Happy to! Once you re-upload it throw me a PM and I'll go over it again, I'm a nut when it comes to grammar and spelling.

Maybe you can reciprocate in telling me what lens you were using on these shots? Haha

Again, beautiful stuff. I'm sure you'll do great in the future.

Thanks for looking out for me yesterday I went back and threw everything in spell check and I would love for you to proof it again for me that would be great. You will seriously laugh when I tell you what lens I use for all of my shoots. I use a Canon 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS the stock lens to a 40D I actually bought it when I was useing my xti before I bought a 40D realized it was the same lens so I just bought the 40D body saved a little bit of cash I guess. I really want some new glass but just cant afford it :( thats why I perfect my skill not my gear so when I get new gear it will actually be worth it. Once again thanks.

[Ralph Merlino]

Great color and very nice set.

Great stuff! I try to do the same - And clearly as your photos show, you can get great results if used right!

As far as the website goes -- All the spelling is right now! Good stuff. If you want to be uber-picky, some of the wording is a bit off.. For instance:

First of all what you must know, this business is nothing without you my friends, my clients, and all the great people that help give me the support and confidence I need to keep pushing myself harder and harder to provide my clients with the best image quality that can possibly be produced.

I would switch to:

Welcome to AKphotography! First and foremost, I'd like to say that this business would be nothing without my friends, my clients, and all the great people that continue to give me the support and confidence I need to keep pushing forward. In doing this, you have helped to provide my clients with the best image quality possible and for that, I thank-you.

We here at AKPhotography believe in providing you, the client, with the best that money can buy - So we continually strive to meet that standard of excellence with nothing less than beautiful, perfect Memories that will last a lifetime, and in turn hope to see a 100% satisfied and ecstatic customer!


Simple, to the point and not so jumbled. Of course, that is just me, I'm sure most people wouldn't give it a second glance!

[akphotography07]

gosh your a great guy thanks so much for helping me with my website your words sounded so much better than mine thanks. I guess their are still a good handfull of people out their after all :)

[Eliza_Day]
