I don't like the flat lighting on her face in #1, and I don't like the pose in #6 - it looks distorted.

There is also a small problem in #7 that most people won't notice, but her right forearm and her right upper arm have a tonal merger that creates a puzzle for the eye in trying to figure out what that piece of jewelry is doing where it is.

However, they are individually and as a whole some of the best glamour pictures seen here on the the "Corner".

Congratulations!

Robert -

Thanks. I agree on the lighting in #1 - I had a huge 4x6 softbox camera left and a small kicker strip camera right. The lighting did come out too even. I liked #6 because I got her to laugh and snapped the shot as she was looking up. I appreciate the feedback very much!

And Watermelon - I didn't get paid for this shoot. Still building my portfolio. If you know any models in the Memphis, TN area who want to pose, pass them my way. It's free for a while. :cool:

I always ask them to point their toes as it elongates the leg. Jenni is a great model - didn't even have to tell her. :cool: The rule usually is "if it's uncomfortable, it's a good pose. If it's REALLY uncomfortable, it's even better." :lol:

1. not sure on the lighting in this one, maybe edit the tat out.
3. if she is to appear nude, I would blur out the bun-huggers on her right leg.
6. I like this the best, she has beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile.

Nice set of pictures.

Thanks! In #3 she is actually wearing a dress that is pulled up. I can edit the edges out that showed up in the photo pretty easily - I didn't notice it in camera. #1 was one of the first (if not THE first) photo of the shoot. I wasn't crazy about the outfit but I did like the pose.

Appreciate all the feedback!
