Flattering or UNFlattering...that is the question

[Kori_Rae]

Well plus size she isnt. She looks great and I think she has a great body-realistic [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Nice work

Thanks Jackell...I think it may be on the harsh side as well...I kinda like that " are you sure you want a piece of me" look about her [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

[The_Glamour_Spot]

She's a beauty Mike...and thanks for the tips...

[The_Glamour_Spot]

Glenn, she's ecstatic about them...and I am happy as well. I am just trying to get a feel as to if my direction to her was working. I've had some instances where I thought I had a pretty good image to present and my number one critic, Rhonda (also my wife)pointed out some oversights. I agree that if the client is happy thats the primary goal...however, I would much rather them be happy with a great image that others will like as well...

but from these shots the answer there would be yes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

First....Thanks for the compliment on the shots of Heather.

Second... That girl is smokin....

And lastly, #' 1 and 3 are my favs here. The other two the light seems a bit harsh to me and I agree that the pose on the last one is not really exciting at all. Keep on shooting that girl.

Autumn is not 5'7" 115lbs either...

Bobby,

You did an excellent job.

I am going to go on record here and say that I am watching a trend. No, not here on GG but I am watching a trend that models are being used with more meat and bones.

Something I noticed lately in a few t.v. commercials and print ads and these were not used for character ads. In fact some of them have been down right glamourous.

Going to the mall recently and also looking at the fall clothing ads, I am just starting to see not so New York Fashion or LA Fitness breathed down our necks.

I could be wrong as usual but something I am noticing more and more lately. Last time I seen a trend, I was right on as it kept going and still looks like it's running strong today. I am going to be curious to watch this one play out.

Good looking images, but there appears to be something that is the same color as the background that has cut off two of the fingers on her right hand on the 4th picture.

Wow has this topic gotten crazy! The first time I do a shoot in forever and goodness... Well, I have to that I've read back and forth and I kept in mind that not everyone is the same size and not everyone has the same tastes. Thank GOD! *laughs* I expected, as soon as I knew Scott had put up the pictures, that there would be good and bad feedback, regardless. As for the 'plus size' comments, I never really thought of myself as such and honestly?? I really still don't. My weight has flucuated from about 130 to present (wont mention this part..lol) for the last few years. And it's not that I'm comfortable with it...I just dont DWELL on it. I'm a strong believer in 'if you don't like it, stop gawking at it'. When I was a smaller size, there were plenty of offers...sure. But really.. anyone can shoot pictures of nudes or 'regular' people of smaller sizes but it's the actual artist who can take something that catches their eye and make it into something of beauty. Remember 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and for someone to create images that have inspired such passions as this topic...my hat goes off to him. Flattering or UNFlattering?? I think not. Scott went outside his proverbial box and shot something slightly controversial knowing that everyone has opinions, posted themf or the world to see, and did it with style. Granted the shots weren't figure focused, but ya know what?? That's not what we were doing this time. Even when I was 'smaller' I didn't wish to do 'regular' semi/nude shots becuase they're SO friggen over done. They get boring after awhile and its like....ok, theres ANOTHER tit or ass shot. Ok..and I have to say ....AND?? It's the creativity in all of us that is supposed to inspire thoughts and reactions. And whether the ones that had negative opinions realize it or not?? Scott did just that. I can see him in his studio behind the computer say 'SEE?!?! MADE ya LOOK!'. *chuckles* Fuggum, Scott. We had fun doing the pictures and regardless of what some of the silly little people say?? You do fabulous work. And it was nice to meet Titan as well, he seems rather nice, even to this silly 'plus sized' lesbian. LOL (ppssstttt....maybe that will get them off the plus sized subject! hahahaha). Much luv.....
