OK so Id like to ask everyones opinion
Im fairly confident in my own ability as a photographer, but of late, my confidence has taken as hit as Ive looked at the photos that my local competitors are taking and noting how much brighter and vibrant they look.
This first link is MY Facebook page, the second, one of my competitors
My page:- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.145109458859919.21591.132316320139233&type=3
Competitors page:- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151626766133635.1073741892.89065063634&type=3
Now it seems to me that my competitors pics are more vibrant and a lot more visual.
Granted her creative background helps (Im working on a similar set up myself) but I wanted to know what everyone else thought?
I shoot in my own studio, predominantly high key with a white infinity curve.
4 Elinchrom heads with softboxes or reflector dishes.
Fuji S5 pro and Nikon 28-70 2.8 lens shooting in Raw
Ive tried different lighting set ups but am wondering whether or not the issue lies with either:
The lighting set up
My camera
Or how I process the images afterwards.
We can all manipulate the image to increase contrast, vibrancy etc.
What does everyone think?
