Hi Don,
I may be out of line with this. You have posted such a wide variety of images, I can't remember all the different types.
However, my memory of your work and your current portfolio suggests to me that in general the environment you work in is one of fairly plain backgrounds that focus all of the attention on the model.
How about moving out of your garage studio and into your home (or your model's home, or a local office building, bar, warehouse, hotel room etc.). Let us see images where the environment is used to add to the overall image, and not just as a foil to focus attention on the model.
Just as the environment is used in portraiture to add to the information about the sitter, so it can in glamour or fashion. There are lots of great examples on this site.
If you feel you already have this covered, you are no doubt right and I apologise. However, you asked for some new ideas, and I thought it might just give you a new challenge. You've said in the past you need to step outside the box, well you can step outside the studio box without waiting for the weather to work outdoors. Seek out alternative indoor locations.
Just a thought, in case it helps. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
P.S. Love the picture. But of course you can do these with your eyes shut now can't you.
