RE: 23 Enchanting Portrait Photos

Thank you once again @juliank to let me be part of the winners but also your fantastic work with the contests and your new bot!

My favorite are

  • @exposez for the authenticity and the true emotion in this genuine polaroid
  • @victorbz for the quality level of its b&w and its capacities to transfer human emotion in its pics
    Of course, those two are professional and I highly recommend to follow them!

But today, I see in your selection @karolips and since I saw this yesterday, I really like this one for its purpose although there is high potential to improve it (mainly focus and light managing) and if @karolips agree, I would be keen to make a post on it, quoting her name of course, to explain in details what could be done to go one step further!
Have a nice week-end all, I feel you have not finished with me :-D

thank you @vincentleroy on the mention and congrats on your win too !
about professionality, as i understand this word and why i don't use it much.
i'm a photographer but not professional. i don't shoot for money (almost) i'm living from absolutely different doing. and if to say about professionality - there are a few portraits in this small collection taken with a studio light and done exactly like you said - on professional level. (i love this or don't it's a different theme)

Dear @victorbz I am exactly in the same position, professional level since years but another job above all! That let me choose what I want in photography and have let me try a lot of things in this fiels (analog as digital) :-) Have a nice week-end!

nice weekend to you too !
and what you explained is exactly what i love in my photography choices - to photograph only what i love !

Excellent insides, thanks for sharing

What I like about this account is that I only post twice a day. This allows for more discussion to take place. A place where photographers on Steemit can come together. Inspire and learn from each other.

While I am not responding to all of the messages at the moment I do read most. Doing a lot of work on the bot for now.

I see that with all our discussion! I'd like to suggest you a one more thing. I would be keen as often as possible to select one pic form your selection that is medium but with high potential and have a technical and artistic post on it to explain why it works, what does not work (in case) and all technical improvements that could be done! As an old but real photo curator in Paris, I will write in a friendly like mode. My purpose would be to share expertise as to help followers to improve their passion. Never negative or disgusting critics that never help! Feel free to revert as you could resteem it also as a bonus for your contests.

I like that idea.would love to have some of my pics reviewed if they get chosen. 👍

nice! then follow me I w am working at it in the week-end and I will revert :-)

I have nothing against this and I think this adds great value. However, I do not think this is up to me and should be something the author decides on.

As for resteems I would like to keep my blogs from get cluttered. I will also stop resteeming my own selections after Sunday. Transition week. However, what I do not mind, it upvoting a comment in this post to the top where you link to the article

of course, I need to get the full agreement of the author for the pic to be reviewed like I did this morning with @karolips. Success of such approach is mostly based on the confidence.
for sharing I clearly understand, and let see in the next days if some authors agree with it. I will make comment in this way in the next days to see if there is an interest in it and if some author agree to let me post on their photo :-)

Additionally you can create your own hashtag that people can use to signal that they want your perspective on their photos

Yes! I already thought about that, and we might be two reviewers to have two different point of view also :-) @exposez as he was a curator with me :-)
