I see, still my remarks remain valid.

Probably best to sort composition first. Find a better place to shoot it. I think it's too cramped on the shallow shelf with the picture frame only just above too. I'd be tempted to lay the book down, see a profile with some pages too. It'll be a compromise between viewing the text and the...

Correct, note the triangle of light under the left eye. Can't go wrong, always looks good when done well. :)

Possible that it was just the 2 lights. Looks like a heavy vignette has been applied, the hand holding the photo is defo in the light but largely toned back. Background light may just have been incidental. From the catch light in the eyes you can see one main light high right and one fill as...

Well, fair enough! Sounds like a very limited market, fair play to anyone making a living in it.

Sounds like it's near impossible to fulfil the criteria to get a dataco licence nowadays then? I nearly set off down that route but realised early on it wasn't going to be worth the time and effort money wise... Stick to National League (or lower!) I say, do it for fun... I gave a pic to...

Hi everyone, After a good 6 months at least break from sports photography, I'm going to head out to some footy this weekend. I guess I kind of lost the spark for it for a while. I'm actually really excited to get back pitch side this weekend now. I guess I got a little bit bored of going to...

Walking up Helvellyn. Shot with out of date cheap film on a 1967 Zorki. :-)

PS. Good advice from @GooGaBu :-)

Hopefully I can offer some useful advice as someone who has held a national league licence and has done some work for agencies. As well as just shooting for fun as I actually enjoy it! You need a licence to shoot the football league and premier league, these are covered by dataco, you need to...
