About Author
Post Production: You can’t sharpen something into sharpness. You tried. Probably too slow a shutter. Bump up the ISO. Check your Histogram in Photoshop. LEVELS! You’re underexposed.
Shooting: Underexposed on at least two. Use your camera’s Histogram and your light meter. Learn to fill the shadows with minimal flash and then you can have it all: good rich backgrounds and the portrait well lighted.
Subjects: all great and they’re a related theme: smart, young, nature-oriented, outdoors-oriented.
It’s a neat series flawed by technique issues.
Tighten it up.
Even a B.A. occasionally has something to learn.
