My pleasure. I'm curious to see how your photos evolve!
Let's not keep you waiting then.
I managed to shoot some more photos yesterday. With 'some more' I mean like more than 600. Don't worry, I already picked out the most decent ones.
I changed the lighting back to what I had for the first shoot. I also shot those pictures on my own, on a tripod, full manual at 1.8f, 1/200 and 2500 ISO. I had to crank up the ISO, else it would have been a set of photos of a white shirt and a pair of floating eyes
. I could not reduce the shutter speed, because I was in motion. I hope the AI De-noise tool you talked about earlier can fix some issues.
This time I included the original file of the picture I wanted to recreate and the post processed one next to the newly shot ones. The newly shot photos can be found
here as unedited RAW-photos.
Just like last time, I would like everyone to be brutally honest with the feedback regarding my pose, facial expression, lighting etc. Of course I can improve the shots a lot more, but for now I would like to work towards selecting a decent photo I can use for setting up my dating profiles. Currently I don't have any and for now I really would like to select one and make better shots somewhere in the future. However, if there really are non that are usable I need to accept that and improve some more I guess.
Tips about how I should edit these shots are also welcome. I was thinking about editing them the same way as the post processed one of the original, but not as dark.
