Tried the 200mm at an engagement session yesterday! Amazing in n controlled enviroment and paced shooting senario.. Other wise 85mm still preffered for this type of shooting.

In addition to the watermark, I think some of your photos got ruined by timing and composition.
Thank you for you feedback sir!
Great job!
Thank you Victor!
Before i also used 200mm but getting older found myself using 35mm 1.4.
Nice poses and good colour but last two I think are not good with this type of b&w
these look great. Very well done
Lee, what do you think of the composition, and specifically, the backgrounds?
I see that you don't like them but I personally think the compositions are on the money but I might say that a couple of them are a little busy. Over all I really like them and neither the composition or the backgrounds ruin the shots for me.
I didn't say I don't like them. I'm just surprised that no one seems to acknowledge the simple, yet glaring issues in some of them. Is everyone so in love with these two lenses that they'll overlook the oars and the ambulance? And the cyclist on the sidewalk? A few seconds, or a step to either side could have rectified both. I would not give those images to a client, and if these were my portraits, I would be disappointed that the photographer did not make some effort to minimize those distractions.
Prefers Film! Your insinuations are baseless and your energy is misplaced. Everything is there for a reason! You don't have to like the choices I made, that's your right but to insinuate that I didn't make an effort to rectify your imagined problems is naive and very unprofessional.
I'm not insinuating anything, I'm making a very clear statement.
Please explain your motivation for timing the second photo so that those raised oars are right behind the head of the woman. And for a couple that appears to be in love, what is the significance of the ambulance in the background?
I really like the one of the couple kissing, with that perfect shadow on the wall. But why split that image down the middle, so it competes with the crosswalk that leads the eye to the cyclist? Brick building in one half, sky in the other. I'm curious as to why you chose that composition.
As I said, I like them. I don't like all the messiness around them. And I wonder why you choose to take them that way. They're nice photos, but with distractions.
Thank you Lee!
This seems like a stylized shoot to me with models, is it?
It just seems "catalogue".
Don't get me wrong, technically it's very good. It just seems the models are lacking true interaction.
And if it's an engagement shoot, why does the male subject have a wedding ring?
Love the images, but I think the watermark placement is very distracting & adds to the "catalogue" feel
