Introductory Photos!

Hi all,

I've been a member here at POTN for a while now though I've never come around to posting any of my work. I am a 22-year-old aspiring photojournalist based out of the tri-state area. I've been shooting for about three years now both for leisure and as a freelancer. I shot with the Rutgers daily publication, The Daily Targum and currently work with the Home News Tribune as a bar photographer. Anyway, here are some samples of what I've done. I realize that there is a lot to learn but I think that I've come quite a long way from when I started.

Again, these are just a few samples. Enjoy! Thank you

Welcome to the forum.

You're hired! Just joking. You don't have to post your resume with your images. They speak for themselves.

I don't want to say what #1 looked like before I scrolled down. I think this one would have benefited from more depth of field.

#2 I love the expression. Don't love the tilted house in the background. Maybe a touch more contrast?

#3 Green glow on the bartender's neck looks like some kind of alien parasite that is drawing out his soul. Your on-camera flash lit up the plastic cups more than they deserved. They draw the eye away from the bartender.

#4 It's a club. It's supposed to be dark. Drop your exposure about 1/2 f-stop.

#5 Nice capture of a moment. Hate the tilt. That's a pet peeve of mine. To me it looks like sloppy technique 99% of the time. Others disagree.

In the future, you might think of posting one shot at a time. You'll get more detailed assessments which are more useful than one-line evaluations for each of a number posted.

#1 too much vignette. Otherwise I want a bite.

#2 - the house should desaturated and bump contrast. I want to play with the kid, you captured it well.

#3 & #4
Exactly what i would expect from a bar/club. Very nice they have energy, you can almost hear the music.

This is a great action shot. Sadly the QB gets lost in a sea of red. I would rather see this is a portrait than landscape and centered on the QB.

Your opinions may vary.
