I think it's a great shot. It may not be good enough for your portfolio simply because it's not a bride (I don't think). But if you use this exact same technique and get similar shots throughout the day, you'll be a great wedding photographer.
OMG Lee Morris replied to me :)...
Actually she is the bride. This is the kind of dress being used in Brazil right now.
Good photo. Try to get the eyes open, as it looks as if she is blinking.
Normally I'd agree, but I think in this it works. I feel like she's closing her eyes to focus on her dance moves.
Great moment.
Personally, If I saw this I'd grab this photo and then just crouch to try and separate her more prominently.
She was dancing with closed eyes actually... I tried to get it and she was about to open the eyes...
Regarding separate her from background, that's actually a really good idea because those guys behing her kind of "steal" some attention from the bride... I'll try this and let you know the result later.
Thanks a lot for the comments guys! I really appreciate..
ps. Sorry for bad english...
Thanks for responding. I dont know if its the make up that makes it look like she is blinking, but getting a little background behind the image helps. Kinda tough to judge when you just get one image.
@ James: It does work, I would give it to the client for sure.
Focus is spot-on. I'd probably try to shoot a little wider for a shot like this. Shots like these are great for story-telling, but you need your subject in a context, and not be the only part of the photo like here :) I would probably use the HSL panel and Calibration panel a bit more in LR to get more interesting colors, and maybe add a slight radial filter.
Hi Diego,
Decent shot of the bride.
My advice would be to keep working the scene and moment. Look for and shoot smiles or good emotion. It's not easy but at a wedding there are plenty of opportunities.
The image above has a nice natural smile. I usually like the eyes open. That's why I say keep working the moment. Also look for more than one face during these dance shots. They also need to have smiles or good emotion. Gets even harder :-) but when you capture one it is a great feeling. When I am shooting and I have only one good face with smiles and emotion I try to isolate that person. If other faces are kind of in the shot, like yours above, it tends to distract my eye from the main subject. Time and lots of shooting will develop your eye and response time. You have a good start!
