Hi Brian,
The first two I really like. Both pictures show an eye contact and expression to die for. Beautiful light was used on the models. A big thumbs up from me.
Number 3 looks a bit like she is uncomfortable with the pose. Or did she develop a headache and a pain in the ..., knowing you refer to this lovely woman as birdies.
And the last one shows some humor I think( on purpose??) But somehow misses the impact of the first two. Just IMHO.
Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.


Curious about my photography?? Just Follow the Light.

You're getting better and better at this, but the first two look a bit too processed in my view.

Probably fine for a glossy magazine cover, though.

Is the second one a reshoot of an older one, or have we seen it before?

Hi All

Many thanks for all your comments very much appreciated and noted.

Martin:
The painting shot was an attempt at humour but I think I done it too early in the shoot, before we all became relaxed with each other.

George:
Thanks, the c&c I got a while back is always floating around my head when I’m doing pp (what will G think of this one !!!!), it stops me from going overboard so I have to thank you for that, but, this is the kind of pp the young models want for their portfolio so I’m just pping as requested.

Dan:
Nope, don’t think I’ve posted these here before; they are in my ePhotozine gallery though.

Nimitz:
See my latest post

Montecarlo:
Thanks.
Cheers
Brian.

Brian, your skin tones are excellent, what was your lighting set-up?

Hi Ken

Thanks for the comment. I don't have a specific lighting setup, I usually start a session with two, front left and right with the key light set at f8 and the other at around f4.

We have 4 Bowens Gemini 500's a selection of soft boxes, brollies, modifiers and reflectors, I also bring my Beauty Dish along. The lights end up all over the place with shots ranging from a single light with the beauty dish to all 4.
Cheers
Brian.
