Steve Ash Posted April 7, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2012 My favorite is picture #1. It has the most natural, out-of-the-situation look to me. Compared to this one the others are more like set-up. Congrats, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOP666 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks. the 1st and 3rd photos were actually from shoots with model friends, the rest are just casual shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted April 7, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 7, 2012 May be "set-up" is the wrong wording. The first shot is much closer and the bending of the body adds some dynamics. The others are more static. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenPatterson Posted April 7, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 7, 2012 I agree #1 is the best, as the model knows what she is doing in front of the lens. It really makes things much easier when the model knows his or her stuff. All great images!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB23 Posted April 8, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks - the model, Kymberly Jane, is great to work with. These shots look really snappy to me. If they are models posing for you, then you have some serious aesthetic work to do. Controlling the lighting a little bit would be a good start. Compositions too. The second one is a great and extremely funny example of what a trained eye will see Versus an untrained eye. Simply, she looks like she's missing limbs: Her left arm looks like a birth defect missing the forearm or severely damaged, which in turn drives the brain to search for her right arm which is brutally cut by the side of the pool, which is topped off by a somewhat funny expression. In other words, she looks handicapped. Some basic posing technique/direction would have remedied these fatal errors. Not really fatal if the pictures are shown in nonchalant way. But really fatal if there's a hint of show-offism. But since you mentioned the words "model" and "work" as in "the model was great to work with", then I must say you that you have to perfect your vision. That was my honest feedback.
