Haha sir yes sir!

Meant to be a hard direct light. The setting, what dont you understand about it? Clean minimal, places focus on model, no?

I think by "settings" he means exposure settings? I could be wrong, but that's how I understood it when I read it.

I guess I just dont really get the direct flash lo fi look

DThriller is referring to your flash/camera settings. Direct light is one thing, this light is definitely hot. It's brightening up everything and not in a flattering way. What was your flash power set at? Camera settings?

Got it. I actually like the highlights, looks different.

Another with Nellie

Yeah I dont get it haha

Out of curiosity what was the situtation with Nellie? Is this a friend or a model you know or hired? Are you shooting for an agency? You say you were going for a direct harsh flash look so was that all you shot?

Im super interested in understanding the logic of how these shots come about. To me they do have a candid fashion almost punk look to them.

I would love to watch someone as they shoot like this.

Nellie is just a friend & model and my approach is pretty simple. I try to create a mood. We talk alot during the shoot.

Model came in hot. She's sort of an Asian version of Meagan Fox.

I think background can be cleaner. You have edges peaking from different places. Like in last photo you have some of the background in the right side of the photo peaking out. Use all wall to use as total background. First photo, the sky and the roof of building took my attention especially with different brightness from main subject.

Obviously wasnt really going for a clean background in shot #2 haha.
And the sky ties in nicely with the blue denim in the first shot so I think its better that way.

Thanks!

post more photos please .... not because i want to critique your photo style but because I want to see more of Nellie!
