    Nice work...
    Nice work. Number 3 is my favorite. I like your version of retro treatment.

    There is a lot of feeling in the set. For instance, in number two my focus is totally on her and the look that she's just tuned into a song that she really likes (as opposed to the focus possibly being the radio she's tuning). Well done Zeckson!

    Thanks Wolftep. I am glad that you see it the way I see my images. This is great encouragement to me because I managed to make you see what I want to portray in my images. :)

    Hi Zeckson! I very much like both the sets you have posted. Your giving the background/environment an equally important role as the model in 'telling' each picture is something I like very much in people photography, as I said a long time ago. You show a feel for that kind of thing.

    If I were to make a couple of suggestions (and you should know that I am at ground level in all aspects of photography) they would be:

    - to use more light sources on your model. In some of these the face, and sometimes arms and hands, are nicely lit, but the parts in shadow can look unattractive (the neck in #4 and decolletage in #9, for example). Good use of secondary lighting could result in more even lighting quality across the model. Especially critical in your photos since one of your aesthetic priorities is to give us delight in the tonal quality of the model's skin.

    - allow the model to move more freely, rather than to always strike a static pose for the camera. I can imgine the beauty of your models in motion. It is hinted at in their frozen poses. So to capture their elegance and grace (and sexiness) out of the cage.

    Thanks for the pleasure of seeing these. clap.gif
