I'm a model mentor and had the pleasure or working with a first time model who wants to get into nude work and our team gladly saddled up to the challenge.

C&C is always welcome and appreciated.

    #2 is my favorite.
    Not a fan of the color shots.

    Maybe it's just me but they all seem a little overexposed. Good poses though!

    What is unsatisfactory about the color images? Not rushing to defend them but I'd like to know what you feel isn't good about them be it the poses, subject matter, OOF a loose piece of gravel. I'm looking for feedback to improve and continue to grow.

    They are all exposed properly on my calibrated monitor and even double checked them in PS with the color tool and rarely does 255 come up...

    Been working on the posing and I'm glad you enjoy that :)

    i like the color shots, my 2cent

    as for the exposure, maybe what was meant was adding more directional light to create some shadows to accentuate her curves.

    Codiac, I definitely see your fashion influences in this set. I tend to lean towards the colors as my faves of the group. They're all great in their own right...excellent job!

    Great job in my view~

    Since someone mentioned color specifically, I'll go and say I like your use of Pp here because of the faded tinted color use. It gives them a very believable 70's look, and I dig that! The color also matching her eyes it appears, brings it together for me in the color dept.

    The one nit I do have regarding the color shots is the one hanging from the rafter. Her skinny jeans look as if she should be astride something and that makes me feel something is missing with that shot. I wonder then what it would have looked like with her legs closer together or even slightly crossed?

    The first and esp. second shot are really grand in the lighting dept. #2 specifically speaks loudly there. #2 would have worked even better or just as well if she'd have simply had a loosened blouse versus full exposure.

    Thanks for sharing~

    I like #3 as well. I like the smoke! I agree that it does look slightly over exposed.

    #3 & #4 do it for me.

    #4 particularly because it shows off her physique really well. :)

    Nice series:-) thumb.gif
    I like #1 & #2. Nice shadows, light emphasizes the curves, relaxed poses.

    #3 & #4: color palette looks werid; images look over processed; full frontal lighting doesn't help at all; cigarettes very rarely add to the picture, your #3 is not an exception, but a solid proff of this concept.
    Congrats on "breaking in" a new model! clap.gif

    I think the composition works in all images.

    I find the bokeh in #4 to the right of her head distracting. I'm referring to the small circles. I would clone them out PP if it were me.
