I would highly, very highly, recommend getting yourself a copy of Affinity Photo. A very reasonably priced one-off payment (think it's about $60-70 at the moment, you've just missed their spring sale :tear:) stand-alone, non-cloud based product with unlimited updates forever. I've been using...

Are you shooting and processing in RAW?

:eek: ... Greetings, caveman! :hi:

Fixed that for you! 🤓 What you're dealing with there is expectation vs reality. In one of the many branches of my professional life, I look at skin up close, and that's exactly how it looks. When "ordinary people" look at skin on other "ordinary people" they apply a sort of in-built soft-focus...

In the last few years, I've twice been the user of a professional photographer, one in the context of a family event, the other as part of a get-this-old-guy-back-to-work incentive :bow: Two different studios, two different countries, but in both cases the photographer provided only a limited...

Yup! :yes: But you need to do that in collaboration with your target clientbase and taking account of the work involved on your part. Concentrate on getting this bit clear in your head before worrying too much about what phrases to use on the website, how much detail to display up-front, or how...

Definitely a major improvement on the previous versions. The characters are really starting to look now like "independent actors" within the scene, rather than simple component parts of an animated background.

OK, you posted that while I was adding my nickle-and-dime advice. :bag: It's not a great idea to give the client all the pictures, unless you're taking so much care with each and every one that you never make any mistakes. If you're rattling off several dozen shots, some will have an eye closed...

We're getting into hard-core business "stuff" here (leave your artistry at the door ... :D ) but it's important too. Nate's right about the psychological effect of "random" pricing - as long as there's some consistency to it. A good way to get to this "random" price is to break down the package...

Hence my emphasis on the phrase working with you, not for you. ;) You've a long way to go before the situation will arise, but you're heading straight into service that - if managed correctly - can generate a lot of repeat business. That one guy or gal who comes to you for head shot may treat...

One more thing: your choice of font. You have four different fonts on display - two in the logo, one for the heading and footer, one for the menu. That's not good design practice (loads of articles on this topic if you google it) and while it might not make a difference to a wreck-recovery...

Agree with @Nate North about the layout of the photos on the page (viewed on a 19:6 laptop screen). While the pictures themselves are fine, the presentation as-is is very flat. While your portfolio is still a bit thin, at the very least I would consider combining each set of three into a kind of...

Sponsored by MS WordArt and Comic Sans ... :seeya:

Yeah. For all the slickness in that promo, the few examples given are real out-of-the-box-bog-standard-stock-footage. Now while that might be suitable for churned-out, throwaway video, I don't believe this "AI" algorithm will be any better than the others at not producing homogenised visuals...

Congratulations on becoming a pro. :woohoo: In a few of his other videos, P.McC shows how to get around that problem using reflectors and mirrors, with repeated examples of where to place them, at what angle and when to shield them. A novelty wig on a balloon would give you plenty of scope...

From the French government website: - for your reference, the rather clunky auto-translated English version https://entreprendre.service-public.fr/vosdroits/F23211?lang=en (a straightforward Google translate is marginally better) - for your customer, the original French version...

You can never have too much detail in still photography! If you're achieving that kind of high resolution, then your camera settings are perfect; any further improvements should be done with the use of filters, either the "hard copy" version in front of the lens or (more professional) digital...

I don't meet the criteria to respond to the questionnaire, but as someone with a certain amount of project management experience (including design-and-built projects) your request/proposal seems, at first reading, to be excessively broad and insufficiently focused - which might explain why you...

Well, this might be why you're getting so much negative feedback in other places when you tie it to the Columbine massacre. The cold-blooded murder of a dozen teenagers and attempted murder of hundreds more is - in most people's minds - not a suitable subject for parody or trivialisation.

Yes, you can. Major projects are abandonned all the time, and you don't have to look far from home for an example: Burj Al Babas, near Mudurnu, Turkey What is this mission anyway? A quick check of IMDB suggests there are already about a dozen movies and documentaries related to the Columbine...
