Nice series as always. The light is a little harsher here - because its daylight also?
You are really becoming the flash master!

It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.
#6: One of your best!

Thank you, Z!
About the harsher light: I kinda prefer using a non-diffused flash outdoors to match our - rather harsh - California sun. Especially considering the fact that I mostly shoot alone and can't rely on two-three extra people operating large outdoor diffusers/reflectors and hauling all the other Big Dog stuff..
This photo shoot must have taken forever, your eye must have been burning in that viewfinder
Amazing shots:D
Thanks, Shannon!
Actually it was a relatively short one, just above 5 hours with a lots of R&R in between (for makeup, change, moving, etc.). Sunset is aronud 5pm these days, as opposed to around 8pm summer time, so we're 3 hours short:-)
Nice work, Nik, and great model. Here's my critique:
I think having her mouth open a bit would work better in photos #4 and 9. It will make them more seductive. It's all about selling a fantasy or whatever and most of us don't close our mouths when we're trying to be seductive.
On #10, I'm not crazy about the shadow being cast on her leg-- maybe a reflector for some fill light would help? Also, her legs look thick in #10. Maybe more toe pointing or stretched out would help? She is definitely a bootilicious model and I personally find that awesome -- but just doesn't quite work in #10.
#6 is awesome though you might consider having your model look just a little bit closer to the camera so there isn't quite so much whites of her eyes showing.
But a great series and oh man-- your model here is stunning.

Thanks, Pete,
appreciate your attention!
Good points, duly noted!
I am really interested to know what kind of lighting setup you use for shots like these...
Same as I almost always do on location: two gelled sunpacks, "straight up" (no diffusers:-), diagonal pattern if I can.
I believed I already posted some of the setup shots in my "tease" post, but ther are again:
Now I know why train track shots are so dangerous. I used to think with the photographer looking one way and the model looking the other, how the heck could anyone even come close to getting hit by a train.
If I was photographing her, I wouldn't see a 747 coming down the tracks.
