Boudoir and Pin-up, Nothing too Steamy

Albert Dickson

Here are a few from a Mini Workshop I attended the other night. A variety of PP used on these. As always, C&C is more than welcome and appreciated.

Thanks so much for the feed back.

Well done, very careful work! Pingbacks to old movies in some of them. The one with most impact for me is #2.

(Why are you seemingly so averse to a more WA look, here and elsewhere as I've commented, when your POV so often is heading in that direction?D)

Good Question. Even when I shoot wide, I can't control myself and crop tight in post. Kinda funny for a guy who grew up on Landscapes shot with an 18mm.

Yeah I *LIKE* this!! Nice sweep for the eye! Attitude! (And lucky she was holding the glass vertical :-))

Please go crazier on the contrast (and especially bring the light that's on the midriff onto the face), closer to "noir in colour", try some filters on it, but steer from colourcasting the whites too much!

Neil That helps! Thanks for the excellent C&C.

Albert Dickson

Forgive me but here are three more from this shoot I would like a little c&C on. Don't mean to beat a dead model...I mean horse.

I know Neil, why no WA. I'm gonna work on that.

No probs, #3 *MORE* than makes up for it!!lust That pose! Those feet! That light! That DOF! That draping of the model! That slant! That bed cover! That motel room BG! That blue twilight thru the window! I am *SO* impressed. That is a scorcher! To think how every little perfect part comes perfectly together to make perfection! Even the jumble of stuff back there including the lightstands adds narrative bite. Man I'm eating my heart out!

Yah, I debated loosing the "jumble" in the corner. It's a BG stand and black fabric I used with another model.

Really glad you like it.I thought it screamed Vegas Strip!
