Whatcha guys think? Met with other local photographers at a rental studio with the goal of shooting "Maxim Style" glamor shots. I took the opportunity to learn about lighting and posing in general and took both glamor and more 'classic' portraits.

Critique appreciated!


#1. Mrs Nash - great MUA and incredible model!

    Like I mentioned, the goal was "Maxim style" glamor shoot.
    HUGE softbox right behind me in line with the camera lens, another light from the left, 90 degrees, with large reflector, metered at +1 to the softbox, and a background light metered to blow out the white background.

    Keep the critiques coming pls :)

    A few more:

    I like the first two!
    I would edit the bottom-right corner of the high key though, it looks messy...
    Can't say much about your second pair, but it's mostly me: I simply don't like Maxim photography style at all, it is my least favorite of all the glam magz.
