Cinematic headshot

Hi Team,

So, I have been quiet inspired by the style of Dylan Patricks headshot's, I haven't yet bought the tutorial as I wanted to have a go at making my own version first!

This is my first attempt at the cinematic look but overall I am happy with the outcome. Learning more about getting the best from my model as well as my own work is a hard task but it's all about practise and committing till I've got it right.

Would love any CC :)

Thanks
Ben

Great headshot, the bokeh is just like DP! Might want to go crop alittle more towards the head to draw have more emphasis! But still a great shot!

I think your background and lighting are spot on. His pose feels just barely too extreme for me (like he is cranking his neck). Love his expression though. Great job.

Nice work on the lighting and expression! I agree with Lee, having him tilt his head at the neck to camera right and a little face turn to camera right would give a more confident pose. Everything else is nice stuff! Well done.

Thank you gentlemen, it means a lot :)

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Two from Tenerife

My two favourite images from my recent night time adventure in Tenerife. Foregrounds and skies were shot separately and blended in PS.

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
