Here are a couple from Katarzyna. If she's not the most beautiful face I photograph, she's top 2 or 3 for sure.

Click the first image for her full gallery as it's posted over the next few days.

    Thanks Qarik.

    I have definitely modified my shoots in accordance with some of the suggestions on here.

    As examples, # 2,4,and 5 are from a set where I turned on some music and let her move/shoot/move/shoot. Also, my 70-200 f4 IS is getting much more use and I did a set (not processed yet) with the 50mm f1.4.

    Here's another one from this shoot that is different for me:

    John,

    I agree with Daniel. These have "something" different than you're other stuff. They seem more "alive" to me on all accounts. The model seems more relaxed, poses seem more natural... and your lighting has more pop as does the way you processed them. I like it!

    15524779-Ti.gifGreat series John. #2 & 6 (especially 6) are the standouts for me.

    Thanks guys.

    I may be stupid headscratch.gif but I do listen and I can be educated.deal.gif

    With that said, it's much tougher to get just the right click of the shutter when they move.
    AI Servo is now my default setting.

    Servo is awesome. I do a lot of my shooting using this focus mode.

    Rushing so no time to post in depth but clap.gifclap.gif I LOVE this set!!!!!!!!! Great, complementary backgrounds, nice expressions, no "forced" sexiness.... really good stuff.

    My only real nit is the butt cheeks in #5 even though that shot is my favorite pose/exprssion combo of the set. Maybe guys find it hot, but I just think, "girlfriend, those Daisy Dukes are TOO SHORT!!" rolleyes1.gif Kidding aside, I don't think it's alluring; it just looks messy to me. However, YMMV and it may be a particular "sexy" style for some - just my personal take on that.

    But, a minor point in an otherwise very kicky and appealing set. Go you!! thumb.gif

    Thanks Diva. Imagine, a set that you like. clap.gif Whodda thunk I could do that.rolleyes1.gif

    Cuban, you and I are on the same page. The "Daisey Duke" frame was quite intentional and it's one frame where I'll take all the blame. No matter what, I like it (and Kat's B/F almost had a heart attack when we shot that series). If that makes us pigs, so be it.rolleyes1.gif

    For all you women the rest of you non-pig guys, just look at that face in # 6.

    This thread just lost about 5 points on a 10 point scale.

    Don't feel guilty Mum. The model asked that that one go away for day job reasons :cry and I never force a girl to show a frame she doesn't want out there. I'm VERY protective of "my" models. I suspect that comes from being older than most of their parents.rolleyes1.gif

    Cuban, I definitely can't argue with you. As a guy, I LOVVVE the Daisey Duke look. The biggest problem I had with that frame was not stepping on my tongue when I shot it. naughty.gifevil

    Maybe I can find another to take the sting out of losing that one.headscratch.gif

    OK ALL DAISEY DUKE IS BACK. Cuban -- put the five points back.

    This one is OK with her:

    Last two in the original post are my favs. Never did get to see the unapproved daisy duke shot.

    I had a recent client. Swimwear shoot. Great photos, she signed a release, everything was cool. Then her BF saw the photos and demanded I remove them from the web!?! While I'm also very protective of "my" models, this one was about the BF. He wasn't at the shoot, I've never met him, he didn't do any work for the shoot, and suddenly he thinks he has a say in what gets posted?

    Anyway, I can relate. Like I said, I'll remove something if the model wants it removed, but the BF? eek7.gif
