A very superior couple by Peter Elliston

October 2021 - A very superior couple

About the Image(s)

This shot was taken at a recent studio day where these two very well known UK models were appearing in a retro studio event. They changed costumes several times in the day and I have other shots you may see in due course. I quite like this one as it is meant to represent the couple on a night our enjoying their status and I asked them to consider the photographer to be not worthy of their interest - hence their expressions. But maybe they did think that of me anyway! This was taken with studio flash and the detail are: Fuji XT3 1/250 f8 ISO200

Clever of you, Peter to get the "look!" I have taken advantage of these studio set-ups in the past and have had great success in competitions with them. Everything works here - the "look" and the outfits and the pose and the detail throughout. There is a bit of a shine on the couple from the studio lights which can be lessened with some programs. I use Luminar AI and the skin slider to do it. An extremely minor tweak.   Posted: 10/03/2021 19:23:06

You have certainly captured a 'you are not worthy' expression on the subjects, I like the way the 'lady' is even averting her gaze. Simple background and the lighting works.   Posted: 10/15/2021 06:39:12

You created a great pose and the "superior" attitude comes across very well. I like the composition and color development. Minor points are the annoying highlights on the man's nose and the woman's face and hair which can be easily remedied.   Posted: 10/17/2021 09:54:40
