Not being mentioned in a thread about wetlook picture tells me a lot about my lack of visibility ... and time to produce/release new material.

However I want to share some thoughts on the topic, since it has been my entry into producing in the first place. I don't want to delve into picture quality of my stuff, I'll let others decide on that.

But from all the comments in the thread I can most relate to Victors comment on photography. I also spend a lot of time selecting and editing fotos when I make a new release. I would assume that I use 30% of the shots taken on average for a set. When I shoot indoors and the light setting is easier to control it may be a higher percentage. But overall I want to avoid repetitive or unfocused shots as well as those where a models expression was off. The onlky time when I want to have similar shots is when I want to show wide angle and close-up of one particular moment. I shoot in RAW, which gives me much more leeway in post production. Also I use full manual settings on my camera, I don't want any automatic setting of the camera control any aspect of the image I take. Also this makes it much easier to do postproduction aftewrads. However more control in post production comes in additional work steps and higher demand on storage space and computing power. But afterall it's worth it for me personally so I'll continue to do it like that.

Finally image resolution to me is a compromise of filesize and preserving detail and the ability to crop into a shot. Keeping the RAWs on File will allways let me render bigger images in the future.

And you cannot underestimate the effect of good fotos when recruiting new models ;-)

Producers photo review.

Please keep in mind that I don't want to disencourage any producer, I only investigated briefly the pictures and made a list with some experiences.

Eurowam

1200x1600

72 dpi

Overal lightning ok, sharp, correcty white balance,

focus is ok, also uses low f-stop from time to time to emphases the subject,

correctly edited pictures.

Only some higher resultion can be appriciated.

1950x1303

72 dpi

Lighted by harsh flash, whitebalance differs from picture to picture (clothes can change color before being wet). I doubt if there is any editing here.

some rubish pictures with closed eyes and incorrect focus are also in the list. Less could be more ...

Erik

1202x1800

240 dpi

Pictures are sharp and correctly focused, shots portrait most of time. Also uses a save F-stop

to control sharpness. Whitebalance is ok in the whole set.

the dpi allows you to enlarge the pictures

waminstyle

1373x2064

96 dpi

Sometimes I am confused about the focus point, some harsh shadows. Lightning could be better. Whitebalance

is correct.

very uncommon resolution though

Wamderland

2700x1800

72dpi

These are snapshots. There is actually no real style to comment here. I don't think that the foto's

are edited in some way. Mostly distubed by the unbalanced horizon.

wetfoto

3240x2160

300 dpi

Light is sometimes bit overdone with loose of some detail, whitebalance is correct and pictures are in focus.

Highest pictures quality of all.
