A girl asked me to do this for her anniversary, and I really enjoyed it! I think I have a decent eye for it, and I want to see if I can't do some more....

Rather than post a lot of the individual pics, I thought it would be easier to show the finished album.

Thanks for looking! : )

    Thanks, everyone! :)

    Idlewild, I designed it myself, using Lumapix, and I'm using KISS to print it. I just ordered it Sunday night, so it'll be a couple of weeks before I get it....

    very nice
    THESE are great - nice use of light, poses are great, model is pretty and seems to like the camera - the whole thing just works - all the factors come together - very nicely done. I feel that a large number of "Go Figure" shots are naked women for the sake of shooting naked women - excuse me but I sometimes feel that the photographer should feel "cheap" about what they have done but I looked at these and I just smiled at how well they were executed.

    Thank you so much, for the compliment!

    I felt pretty good about them until I posted a few of the individual shots on another forum and got blasted for my post-processing. I should have known better, because it was all done with a certain end-game in mind, but I was too excited to wait until I had the album designed, and they hated everything I'd done. (Never mind that the client specifically requested "all that cool stuff you do to the pics!" and I mentioned that in my first post!)

    Okay, mini-rant over....

    Thank you all for not hating on these! iloveyou.gif

    Concur...I cannot believe I forgot to comment on these the other day but when I went to look at them, I went off into la-la land. Seeing these reminded me of another persons work I admire...and she posted above me here....My boudoir stuff is just getting off the ground, and this is truly inspiring....Have a shoot tomorrow...and hoping my inspirations manifest.

    Love 'em~clap.gif
