Hi - Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a photographer for a fair few years now but only just seen the light and joined Fstoppers..!
I'm a British expat living and working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I shoot commercially and love taking pictures of people. Looking forward to being inspired by this group. Here's some of my work.
One of my favorite waterfalls I've photographed in recent years. deep in the backcountry of Vancouver Island lies this pristine oasis.
Hiking in this beautiful region is like a present.Also standing at high elevation and looking to the king of Austria.The first snow the changing coloursand all the combination with the weather cond
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal

It's wonderful to see someone doing work with such personality instead of cookie cutter bokehism....
If I can make one technical suggestion, you might want to back off on exposures and then push a little in post to get the dramatic highlights you like - and use well. The reason is that conventional camera sensors de-saturate and lose colour as they approach highlighting. So a more cautious exposure with a boost in post will produce a richer look to the highlights, like colour negative film.
I appreciate the feedback David and totally take onboard your comment on the exposure. It's something I know I fall foul of when shooting, then often have fix in post. Thanks.
Well, if you know about highlight desaturation, you're ahead of most people. I agree with your choice to make highlights an important part of the image - they give a drama and liveliness nothing else does. If you can stand the pain, shooting with either colour negative film or a Sigma Foveon camera does let you treat them more aggressively.
