I still haven't completed my catchup play with the last shoot, but I wanted to post something *this* year :rofl
So below are a couple of fun images:

1. "I Don't Do TFP!"

    Very nice set. Clean lighting! Love the glass treatment. These are composites, no?

    Cheers, tom

    Thanks for stopping by, Tom! thumb.gif
    On a first one the sign was added. Second one is a two shot composite.

    That makes sense, otherwise I'd have to bow a bit lower and I am already about on the ground when I do! Helps perfuse my brain though!!

    Your Nude stuff is getting very interesting. Please keep it coming our way~~

    cheers, tom

    You're only as good as your next photo....

    Funny, I've been searching and searching for a HUGE martini!

    Nik: What is TFP?

    The composite image is fantastic, the distortion as if we were seeing her through the glass seems very realistic. Although there seems to be just a hair of difference in her skin tone. Tell me more!

    The original shot was, uhm, a full nude, and she didn't want to use it at the time, but only for that very reason (didn't want to show her V-area). But we both liked the rest of the image so I decided to get creative... You would have tons of giggles if you knew how the second shot was made :-)

    Nik: What is TFP?
    "Time For Print". In modeling world common TLA for "trade". "NO TFP" essentially means "I don't do this for free", or, more specifically "Paid assignments only".

    Good eye! thumb.gif Distortion *IS* realistic and yes there is a slight difference in WB. I was tired and sick and I didn't do a perfect job on tone matching...:-( rolleyes1.gif

    Nice work, Nik. The TFP one made me smile (the placement is perfect-- should be your MM main image!)

    You fooled me, Nikolai! I thought the off tone was intentional, as glass will change the tone simply because it is glass. So, I didn't even notice. Great job, regardless! clap.gif
