This is Wendys first time in front of a photographer except for her husband. She was a bit nervous. But a joy to work with. Im looking forward to working with her again. she understands Im learning and willing to help me out when she can. now with that out of the way ..critique away!
Don! P.S. she loved my snake shot...so we did one of her own..

Great, you found a new model. Love the first pose!! Very nice, very sexy the way you can see how short the dress is and it's pulled up just a little.

The second, well maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of snakes (even though my hubby has one, a corn snake, not what you're thinking. Get your mind out of the gutter.) but, I'm bothered by her hand being almost the closed thing to ya and it's a little out of focus. My eye keeps trying to focus on the hand to focus it in instead of focusing on her face.

Well, I don't know, I go back to look at it and the hand maybe doesn't look out of focus, but for some reason my eye is still drawn to it. Can't explain why. Sorry. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

don't forget the backlight or hairlight to separate the hair from the background!!!

good luck!!!

Hi Don,

I like the 1st image better. You know how I feel about snakes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Foto I was using a hairlight but I got so aggrevated at it trying to keep it off her face...I just shut it off.....Ive got to figure out a better way to control it..I am using barn doors for it..I think Im going to use some foam core to extend out the sides of the barn doors....I cant really boom it over head because my ceiling wont allow for it...see how in this image it was penetrating the hair and hitting her face...really ticks me off!!
Thanks!
Don.
