I like it, but I think your photos may be doing it a disservice. Seems like your lighting for the photos is strongly "from above", making areas at the top over-exposed and whitened, while shadowed areas are by actual shadows and hard to see what the painting is. I totally get that photo set ups can be a pain in the rear - I struggle too! It seems like you put a lot of hard work into this :) From the back panel it seems like your gold NMM is going well!!
Thank you for this constructive comment. This piece in particular was hard to deal with, many parts are casting shadows on the body with all the settings I've tried. The light source used here is an horizontal lamp set not zenithal but closer to 45° from above (hope its understandable... Im not english fluent)
I can imagine - he's in a pose that can cause a lot of shadows for sure. I think I know what you mean on the lighting; I end up having similar problems. If there is a somewhat cloudy day, general daylight with clouds can sometimes help me. The clouds help prevent the direct light source trouble.
Your painting is solid. Looking forward to seeing more of your pieces :)
I'll retry to take better pics when I have the time. Cloudy day pics doesnt work for me with the camera I have, colors seems too greyish somehow. Never tried it with a mini though, I'll give it a shot. Thanks !
Jolie pièce et très belle peinture, Pierre. C'est vrai que les photos paraissent un peu trop contrastées, mais je suis vraiment trop mal placé pour critiquer sur ce point. Encore une superbe réalisation à ton actif. Or, bien entendu !
