Ok, time for a change. Not in my style of photography. Just when it comes to my model. Yes, she looks similar to the other models I’ve had sessions with. Some may say she’s just another in the line of gorgeous brunettes. She is, but what sets her apart from the rest is that she’s Russian. So if I can’t work abroad, I can at least work with foreign models, right? 
So we went in Tivoli to make a “fall styled” session. There were 3 parts of the session. The warm up part in the shade, with soft lighting. This part is always necessary with debuting models. Then we moved to the sunny part of the park, to make some “gegenlicht” shots. It was a bit tricky, because of the big 120 cm reflector that I used. It just isn’t nearly firm enough to hold it with one arm (and shoot with the other). The photo below is from the third part. It’s the only part I was able to make a few good shots. In the first two we had a lot of hair problems. Because every time she tilted her had in any way but backwards her hair partly covered her eyes. And that really interfered with the workflow; you make one shot (sometimes we managed to make a few), tell her to make a slight adjustment to her posture or head position and BANG, hair over her eye(s). With interruptions like that, it’s impossible to make a good photo. As most of you know, the interaction between the model and photographer must be good, relaxed. And you gradually make better and better photos with each tiny alteration, change of mimic, posture etc. So we did manage to skip all but the backward head tilts and made this shot.
EDIT: The photo looks a bit more contrast and desaturated when viewed in internet browsers. I guess my adobe profile isn’t calibrated…I’ll resolve that before my next post (that gives me a lot of time to 
) .
It was a great experience. I faced an obstacle like that for the first time (and I’ve shot a lot of models). I guess it’s a first time for everything. I’m glad we overcame it. I think one gains experience with overcoming problems and/or challenges.

kul je (btw, Safari upošteva barvne profile)… vendar - a ni slikana z malce prekratko goriščnico? deformacija, večja brada itd…? vem, da je to izredno težko, sploh, če nimaš lestve (itak je ne boš nosil v tivoli, hehe)… mogoče pa mi le izgleda tako, kaj pa vem.
jaz bi naredil edino malo bolj toplo in z malenkost več detajli v sencah, laseh…
pokaži še kakšne - prijetna sprememba

Ja saj, v PSu je z več detajli…Goriščnica pa preračunanih 136 mm, kar je več kot dovolj. Če že, je pač kriva perspektiva, drugače skoraj ni šlo zaradi las. Pa tudi najbolje je izpadla da z rahlo dvignjeno brado, ki simulira rahlo žabjo perspektivo. Ptičja ji nekako ni pasala (čeprav velikokrat ravno iz te perspektive fotkam).
Druge niti ni smisleno objavljati, ker so preveč podobne. Bo drugič več, ko bo (upam) spet vse gladko potekalo.
Sicer mi je pa tole neskladje profil res čudno, še nikoli nisem naletel na to. Vedno je bilo razmerje v PSu, drugih programih in brskalnikih čisto enako. Zgleda ma tudi tukaj Mac težave. Ah…

zanimivo; meni prikazuje iste barve čisto povsod (razen quick view); Ps, Finder, Safari, karkoli, ne glede na barvni profil ali barvni prostor.
glede goriščnice sem se potem motil - izgledalo mi je bolj podobno 50mm ali še manj; my mistake
itak, da je 136 mm perfect 
ps: kje jih pobereš?
hehe

Glede profila bom pa en dan malo pogledal kaj se da narediti. Če ima pa kdo odgovor se pa seveda priporočam.

Mah tile profili so res ena jeba. Meni se dogaja, da v PSju vidim eno, potem pa tako v Safe for Web preview bistveno manj saturirano. Še nisem ugotovil kaj bi to bilo. Pa je profil vedno enak, torej sRGB.

Problem ni pomoje v goriščnici, ampak v modelu samem. Vsak model ima svoje slabosti. Kolikor vidim, ima model zelo “močno” spodnjo čeljust, kar pač pomeni, da je potrebno fotkati z ustreznega kota, da ne pride tolk do izraza. Najbolje je, če model glavo malo spusti in jo obrne nekoliko na stran. Sicer potem odpade nekaj poz glave, ampak vseeno. Drugi problem pa je neugodna poza glave in njenega desnega ramena, ki sta preveč blizu, kar da efekt premajhne goriščnice.
Glede profilov ne vem kak je, meni na Winsih dela alles ok.

Ja ko glavo nagne dol in naprej, ji lasje zakrijejo oči…Berite tekst, prekleto!
Joke.
Se strinjam Gregor. Žal je to najbolje kar sva potegnila iz sešna…

Kot oseba s prefinjenim okusom in do potankosti razvitim čustvom za “RIBE” lahko povem, da ima punca res pravi potencial.
Škoda, da nisi poslušal in dal v post fotke v stilu “Angelina Jolie”
