Description

Part of the set of commercial photo-shoots for the 1UP Concept [link] , a purely student managed company focused on providing quality design apparel for students and reinforcing the community spirit at various universities around the world.
This picture is a part of 1UP-CUHK campaign.

I would like to stress that this is a photo manipulation. It has been all photographed at the spot, but the girls wouldn't jump in sync with the airplanes and I had to combine three shots (two of airplanes high up in the air, and the best of the girls) to get this :)

Sorry for the super late reply. My premium membership expired and I couldn't access any of the posts in my personal forum ^^;

But anyways:
Cool idea. It must've taken a lot of set up especially just to make all the airplanes :lol: even if it's a photomanip ;P

I recommend widening your aperture to get a shallower DOF so that the buildings in the background can be a bit blurrier and so focus can be used to draw more attention to the models. But since this is a photomanip, you could always just blurr the background more ;P

The foreground of the photo is a bit dark. The background seems brighter than the foreground. Be careful of the natural lighting when composing your shot; try other angles to get the best natural lighting. But if there was a really ugly dumpster in the background from another angle or something :XD: and this was the only angle you had, ideally I would recommend introducing some artificial light but if that's not possible, you can always try brightening the photo using curves in post editing. Lightening midtones in curves will help reveal more detail and brighten the photo.

Hope this helps at least somewhat :)
