I am really sad. I watched entire video and my photos aren't featured or reviewed .Actually i have been waited every single days to see this video. i am a beginner in portrait photography and thought i really need a advice from a professional photographer. after this video my day ended with SAD.

Seriously?! Who else agrees that Jared's videos are the best educational videos on KZbin? I think I've learned more about composition and editing from these FroCritiques, than I'll ever learn in a photography class. I sound like I'm kissing butt, but let's appreciate what the Fro does for the photo-community.

[@jlzimmerman75]

Don't you mean the Froto-community?

[@ICJimmycakes]

Thanks for including mine at 17:02! It wasn't a self portrait, it was actually of my friend that introduced me to film photography! I thought the concept was a fun way of thanking him. For the photo at 41:10, I really like it as is. If her expression wasn't as strong then I'd probably pass on it, but the emotional content is what makes it. I'm not a fan of prisms, they make shots too busy. I know how much work must have gone into this video. So thank you, Jared!

[@yanghadi]

Wowww.....I liked it

[@stevenquintanilla9795]

My photo is the baby that "wants some milk" at 59:54! 😁 feels awesome to be selected for this video! Your channel is the first photography channel I ever found and helped me so much as a beginner! I wouldn't even have known where or how to start if it wasn't for Fro! Thank you!!

Great photo. I dont even like maternity photos either. Typically dont like a lot of family style portraits.

[@OneSixShooter]

Loved that shot! 🤘🏻

[@Wheels1010]

Im with you on the overprocessed look, i cant believe when people edit their images they cant recognize how far they have taken the image past a natural look and they cant see that it looks terrible.

[@virtualwarp]

I'm usually a bit torn between certain processing tools. I do remove blemishes, eye bags and pimples. I, sometimes, smooth out the skin. Never to the degree that is shown here though. The eyes I do brighten up as well. Again, not as extreme as shown here. With certain photographs I've shot I just don't know what to do after I took them. I like to edit my photographs, but lately, it's really feeling like a choir. I just want to get put there and shoot! Processing is fun and all but it slows me down. Having a slow laptop also doesn't help.

[@amyjames9282]

it's not always better with eye contact. Maybe you think this because you're clearly an extrovert. But portraits where the subjuct is looking somewhere else in their own element, it usually gives a candid feel. Like they don't know you're there and just doing their thing. It's in a way more intimate

[@Haydunk]

I agree to some extent, a lot of the ones he criticized didn’t really need to be all about eye contact; I think the portraits that have props often benefit from the subject “doing their own thing”. But of course, opinions are very deep seated. I think you’re right on this one.

[@zombne]

I love how honest you are Jared, it's why I continue to come back to the channel.

[@TheCJFrench]

I've taken a total of like 5 photos with people in them, so I have next zero experience with portraits. That being said, it's something that I really want to get into and this video was incredibly helpful. Jared, you were my biggest resource of learning photography when I first started so it's only natural that I would come back when moving into a new discipline.

[@TartantazCreates]

I really appreciate you calling out the over processing. We need to appreciate real people are beautiful 😊

I learned more in that one hour than I’ve picked up watching countless “instructional“ videos from a multitude of sources. As for the Dutch angle, it if didn’t work for Adam West in the Batman TV series it doesn’t work anywhere. Bonus that you are apparently a stand up comic in your other life. Really nice job Jared.

[@carlkristensen8398]

I looked at the length of the video and thought "oh my … that's a long one" - but watching it, it did not feel long at all. Good video.

[@CodHumors]

[@anthonymeza2714]

[@Himynameskeith]

When in black and white: would look to see this in colour

[@garlicradio]

I think some of the "overprocessed" photos are really overdone makeup shots. Can't be sure, but I've seen girls do this for parties and shows.

[@sivvaldimarsdottir5873]

No. You can put on loads of cakey makeup and you would notice it, especially in a picture because it just looks horrendous and it actually emphasises everything (texture, dry patches). So it's definitely not makeup, just bad photoshop.

[@afrotiffy]

Not a chance, when zooming in on a high resolution photo, if you have an educated eye you can pretty instantly spot the differences between makeup and post processing. You see that in this video - once or twice he takes in a breath to critique the skin processing, but upon zooming sees that it's genuinely a model with basically flawless skin, and moves on. Pretty much any time he calls out the overly smooth skin, it's definitely over- processed in addition to / rather than being make up alone. There were a number of really fake looking shots he didn't call out as well, but likely more due to time pressure and having other issues to point out with those photos before needing to move on.

[@kenperry7723]

Jared is the man! I agree 100% on not liking the trend of prisms, crystal balls, large or distracting watermarks, etc. Photography is subjective kind of like art but a lot of those photos do have potential with your constructive criticism. Always bringing good info and energy

[@MichaelKantormusic]

Usually your critiques are a bit harsh and snobbish. This video was awesome, thoughtful and informative without big ego. Well done Jared.

[@RogerThatFilms]

That's my shot at 8:40. Thanks for including it Jared, glad you liked it!

[@barrybrauders9408]

Looks great man👋

[@Dee-tm5ui]

If you can't tell whether or not it's in focus without zooming in then why does it really matter? You liked it before zooming in then it's not perfectly in focus when you zoom in so now you don't like it?

[@OneSixShooter]

OMG I survived (@38:45 - Holly Goligthly). Thank you, Jared! I wasn't sure how the toy photography would go over with you (and never thought I'd see it here with 3.4k images submitted). Made my freaking week (maybe my month)!

[@Izakokomarixyz]

Abbey Guijosa - Yeah I bought the D7000 back in 2011 and I thought I was doing something wrong because the camera had really good reviews back then. Long story short I got discouraged and pretty much gave up photography... also the shutter failed.

[@marcd7332]

@@abbeyguijosa8482 Keep in mind that the lens is also important, and kit lenses are usually trash with accurate focus.

[@aprilachord]

I agree with everything you say except that people need to look at the camera. I am a huge fan of catching people unaware so people just doing what they are doing is great for me. BUT as far as processing you are SO correct.

[@solsburyhill6]

These are the photography critiques I always look for , I just sat through an hour of this and honestly learned a ton of ideas. Smoothing out the skin and over processing is the worst! Froooo knows photoooo you are the man. I used to not like you but now you’re my favorite KZbin channel.

Great content as always! Thank you for emphasizing the danger of shooting on railroad tracks. I know of a photographer who was ran over by a train while shooting. I was shocked to learn how often people die that way every year.

This is was an actual on hands helpful video, thank you for truly criticizing and not being fluffy

[@alannawoody171]

don't apologize about the length - i enjoyed hearing what you had to say! thank you for calling out over-processing; i hate it. i rarely touch up skin unless there is a blemish that wouldn't otherwise be there (like you said). i personally like using prisms during shoots to switch things up if we are in one location; it adds a bit of interest (though prisms can still be overdone, and i try not to overuse them). i also enjoy shooting people in front of or within trees; shooting through branches and leaves can likewise add some nice framing to the shot. just some personal preferences :)

[@charleskung7002]

Thank you for the video. As a landscape photographer trying to learn portraits, you really highlighted the do's and don'ts. And you're right, subjectivity comes into play when it comes to processing styles. But most of your comments were talking about the fundamentals. Composition, focus, lighting, and expression of the model. I'm glad I sat through the hour-long video. I have literally never watched anyone on KZbin talk for this long before.

[@highgaugedesign]

Selective color is great at lightening up a dark blue sky. Simply take out some red to create a light blue sky. It’s also good for foliage

Just listening to your video and want to say, I like what your laying down. Wow, I watched it all! What I learned- don't cut of toes and fingernails and don't put eyes below a mid point and don't over process your photos making you look like a Sony fanboy.

[@bokaholic]

Jared, that environmental portrait of a guitarist is actually that of Nathan East of a Jazz band called Fourplay from the US. So I gather you don’t like too much sharpening! I discovered this the hard way after a shoot and a customer was not happy when I thought of ironing her imperfections! Lesson learned! Ask the customer what they want in a way that they understand. Thanks for your content! I am here with every video you put up🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Jared -- thank you for taking all of the time to go through so many images beforehand and then share with us your views on the narrowed down list. So I'm headed out with my model now to the train tracks (active), to shoot some Dutch angles of her -- never horizontical -- through a prism, then when I get back to my computer I will be sure to oversharpen the entire image, over-process her skin until it looks plastic, and brighten her eyes by the equivalent of 4-5 stops.... :-) No, seriously -- I learned a lot from your critiques, and your views -- you are right that most of this is subjective, but you have a lot of experience that I can benefit from -- thank you!

[@dasstarr]

Great job with the reviews, I'm totally guilty of the Watership Down look. Cheers for the kick in the nuts with review of my image, I will dial it down in the future.

[@minlee7696]

I learned a lot. I laughed a lot. I loved this video. I've watched a bunch of your videos recently and this is by far, my absolute favourite video. If you did one of these like once a month or even once a quarter, I'd be absolutely over the moon. You're absolutely hilarious and an inspiration. GET OFF THE TRAIN TRACKS

[@Rico-ns5dt]

You know what just occurred to me, 4 photographers critique the same images, independently, and upload at same date and time. That'd be Awesome. Different un-influenced takes, advice, compliments, pet peeves, etc.

[@s.z.x.01]

[@Micah-Woods]

You definitely just helped me expand my B&W processing scenarios. When there's not a lot of color within the scene that stands out, or it's a more bland scene overall, using B&W helps stand out the subject of the photo and can look really good! Appreciate the insight!!

[@jimwolfe8366]

Thanks for busting balls for shooting on railroad tracks, I worked on trains for 40 years and saw way too many examples of what can happen when people trespass on railroad property. Keep up the great videos, I always pickup something I can use from each one!

Oh man, I love the Clint James 'nursing baby' shot @46min. So darn powerful. I'd buy a print, haha.

[@000pps]

“Licking the leave”: why not? Together with the deep shadows and the pink tones it makes the image mysterious. It starts telling a story, but giving the intro only. That creates interest, which I cannot easily skip. The wide angle gives the notion of being part of the story which we cannot really understand. I do love the color processing of the leaves and how the deep shadows create 3d room. The usual opening up the shadows would have made it flat and dull. I think the skin tones are also slightly tweaked to allow us to believe that the leaves shade their pink light nuances onto the face. Basically, there are only two colors: the pink palette of the leaves and the warm orange brownish palette of skin tones and lipstick. The sweater, hair and shadows are almost neutral, fantastic. For me this is a perfect example of selected color editing. Eye contact: so many pictures where you miss the eye contact. The reading woman in all orange: for me it works, I believe its authentic. She is not eyeballing, teasing, flirting or interested in the people she currently meets. She is interested in the reading, following her thoughts, her ideas, her dreams resonating from the reading. So, her face is relaxed. The all-orange supports this mood. Same with the boy in the cotton field: he is a joker, he is concocting something and has just not finished mentally processing his idea. How could he start eyeballing at the photographer? He is already 100% alive without taking contact with you. Or the man in leather jacket in the shallow spot between two walls looking into the distance or into the void, viewing something but at the same time reviewing his memories. Forcing him to play eye contact with the camera would destroy this expression. Or the Indian dancing style girl: playing with expression and at the same time with self-restraint is so important to all classical Indian dance. How could she look perky into the camera? Instead she looks like being all aware of being looked at. She moves her fingers accordingly and lowers her gaze. The high-heel lady in dark tan and brown colors of books, arm chair, table and skin: she has her eyes closed. You are right, her posture and her eyes are not a natural expression we see every day. Obviously the photographer has asked her to do something and she is trying to express this. But she looks into her body memories to find an authentic feel that meets the photographers ask. What I don’t like are the high heels. They don’t fit into the dimmed parlor atmosphere and remind me of misogynistic porn. Never cutting off fingers and hands, giving room around the subject, but not too much headroom and eyes never in the lower half of the picture: in my view you are standardizing images too much. In my view the pictures would look too much the same with perfectly centered and distanced model. Take the little girl in B&W grabbing the rope: the cut is directly aside of the left underarm. The right arm is visible at full length, only the right hand grabs the rope outside of the frame and the lower half of the entire arm is cut off by the bottom edge of the frame. This cropping underpins the pose of the little girl, with her face squared in its arms. To me it couldn’t be any better. The girl in the bathtub with the fingers of her left hand cut off by the bottom edge of the frame: this hand leads into the direction of the photographer or spectator. Being relaxed it invites to come even closer to her. Or the studio picture of the girl with gold-brown dress and hat: If the tips of the hat feathers and the left elbow wouldn’t be cut off she would fill less than 30% of the white space. She would be much farer away. On an over-lifesize print on a museum wall where spectators cannot position themselves other than very close to the print this may be fine, but under normal circumstances I prefer feather tips and elbow cropped off. I would give the subject itself all of the room, no breathing space, no frame around, like Jackson Pollock did when inventing the all-over.

I started questioning my own style because of it, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one that feels like this trend is just a trend.

Jared. Shoots raw, Critiques raw. "This watermark is bullshit" Im only starting out but most of what you say with regards to over processing I completely agree with. I don't see the point in capturing an image to completely change everything about
