Peek a Boo-Critique

[BigTime]

Hello all,
New fitness model named Crystal. She's a personal trainer and competes here in Alberta in the figures competitions.
This is one shot of about 1000 taken in one day. Lots of wardrobe changes and plenty of Pam used for shiny skin.
I think it's a little flat, but it could be worse I guess.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks.
Craig

I think I'll move to Canada ... Oh wait, I'm 2hrs away in NY. Nice shot..doesn't look flat to me ..it would make a great mag shot commericail style in my opinion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think it's great!! The only thing I would suggest is a brighter lipstick. But that's just my personal opinion.

The only thing I would have done besides the lipstick (since I don't wear any), is a little work under her eyes, and the shine on her cheeks. Other than that...nice!

Looks very nice to me... beautiful model, good color and contrast (I wouldn't have thought it was flat). One shot of about 1000 you say?... Please feel free to post a few more.

Otay,
Here goes,





There's about 10 other outfits with about 70+ images per set. It's for a subscription website that I work with and members pay monthly to access the images. It's a lot of work but we only shoot together 3 times a year so you have to get as much content as you can. I also shoot about 8 hours of video as well. Now that get's tricky, trying to keep it fresh scene after scene.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
Craig

Nice. I'll bet she could stop that Calgary Stampede dead in its tracks!

Crystal is an absolute dream to work with, and yeah, she's a "tough broad". I'm sure she could wrestle a steer if need be. LOL.
Thanks for the comments Mr. D.

Craig, I like them all, particularly the head shot you posted later. I'm curious as to how the 8 hours of video fits into these projects.

Trev,
The website these shots are for is a subscription based members only type site. They get exclusive galleries of more risque imaging and video.
The video clips are captured during the course of the shoot day(s). It's not art by any stretch of the imagination. We shoot video while the model is changing and applying makeup, or shooting stills with me, chatting with the camera between setups and even while they are making themselves a protein shake or a tuna salad.
Members get to view the videos as if the model is speaking to them directly to make their connection with the members more personal.
That's it in a nutshell, like I said Speilberg and Scorcesse don't have anything to fear that's for sure.
Take care,
Craig
