I love these. I think the settings could use some adjusting and I might of chosen some less distracting "urban" spots but i definitely think you are on the right track with these. GREAT JOB!

The pole through her leg ruins #4 for me but I'd hang #5 as a poster in my office. Great job mate, but I'd pay more attention to the lines in the BG on the next shoot :)

In camera settings or PP settings?

Agree about the urban background ending up a little distracting so I will have to scout out some more spots or alter how we were shooting and pay more attention to that next time.


Thanks everyone :D.

I like the first two, but I dont like the bg for the others, too distracting. I love the concept though!

She is amazing. I also love her in #4. I think that some of the backgrounds are too distracting. I understand this combo, but I also think it calls for color and bold elements. Right now there is just a lot of clutter and with them in b/w, my eyes go all over the place.

Thanks everyone :D.

Looking back I love the first two the most! I think the rest with the fences are a little distracting. But like I said I think you are definitely headed in the right direction.

In the first and second ones I think the in camera settings and good crop with the dramatic lighting works well together.

In the rest I think the harsh shadowing with the distracting backdrops kind of work against each other, KWIM?

She's spectacular and her moves are awesome. I think a change of location would just make these images perfect!

I think this is a great idea and series. I would really like to see the same idea at night with a strobist setup, I think it would add a certain grittiness.

That is an excellent idea. Would love to try that but don't own any lighting of any sort at this time :cry:

She is amazing. I also love her in #4. I think that some of the backgrounds are too distracting. I understand this combo, but I also think it calls for color and bold elements. Right now there is just a lot of clutter and with them in b/w, my eyes go all over the place.

I was playing with the color ones a bit but they were ending up with backgrounds just as distracting if not more so than the BW versions. Still playing with those to see if I can get them better.

I'm going hunting for some more areas with a less distracting but still urbanish background or experimenting some more in there to get it right.

Thanks everyone for the help :D.
