Dancers

Posted 17/02/2010 - 22:19 Link
Did these in a studio. Shots of some local dancers who needed some images for their portfolios. Didn't get a lot of time with each of the model and the look and poses was dictated by themselves, so was hard to get each image perfect, but we did our best. Hope you like and happy to take C&C!

Cheers

They're all nice, but the last one is excellent. The flash is a little hard but it's no big deal, I love the pose and the hood.

Yeah, the flash wasn't meant to be that hard but we had to keep it a fair distance away as we were short on space as there were other girls being photographed in other parts of the studio....hence the harsh flash...I kind of like it though

Links to images have to be spot on John, doesnt matter where you move an image in Photobucket if you move it you change the link address and it will no longer display here.

The new shots are good! I prefer the sitting down one of these three. In the second shot her neck has vanished, making her look a bit stumpy. But they are all fine.

Having said that the final one of the first batch is still my favorite by far. I think it's the boxing contrast that makes it for me, the boxer's hood and fists contrasted against the rather attractive and scantily clad young model. I like her statement eyeliner too, and even that teenage across-the-forehead flick doesn't bother me too much.

I guess it is probably down to personal preference, the boxing girl seems more modern and up to date whereas the blonde girl seems more cabaret and out of date.

Absolutely, you're not wrong, but thats the images the blond girl wanted. Its strange as the other togs on the day got shots of her dressed up in very modern dance gear and looked really different to this, but she wanted me to give her a 40's look, which I tried. It was reasonably effective I think.....

The other girl was very much more "street" and that comes out a lot. She seemed a lot less self conscious as well, which helped with the poses, so I guess she knew before she came in what she wanted....which helped in its way.

I will post some more from this session later on hopefully Cheers again Tim!

If you've ever tried to do a series like this, particularly with little time allowed, you'll know just how hard it is. Successful studio work...difficult.

This is a super set of pictures: I'm sure the girls were/will be delighted. They'll surely come back for more.

Best wishes,

Andrew

Yeah, it was Andrew, very difficult....4 girls, one studio, 4 photographers, one hour.....wasn't the best situation....but it was fun and enjoyed it.....and like you, I hope they liked the results. They seemed to!

Thank you Andrew! Much appreciated!
