Here's my latest Mayhem model find, Charity. Arrived on time for an 8:30 AM call and ran through 4 looks in 3 hours. Oh yeah, she's also gorgeous.

Click the first image for her gallery:

    I love the lighting in number 4. It is PERFECT.

    I think weight on the back leg instead of the front one would look better for the pose though.

    Is there a "cute Girl" store somewhere in this area or what? I think I'm going to take another vacation in the Hudson Valley soon!

    Cute girl, nice pics. I think you should perform some surgery before showing her though, if you haven't already. She and many women have this issue where they have two different sizes and shapes from the waist up vs. waist down. Nothing wrong with that in real life, but for modeling it won't work. I would use the liquify filter to give her smaller ankles on 1, and smaller ankles and knee pits on 4, and do some skin smoothing on her legs on 4. And can you do anything about the underwire in 3? It grabs attention.

    Thanks Bryce.

    I agree about the back leg and we did go through that but sometimes she forgot and I was otherwise distracted.mwink.gif

    As far as coming here, just give me two weeks notice and bring every mem card you own.rolleyes1.gif

    All good suggestion JMP.

    I will say that except for blemishes, pimples etc, I usually prefer to show the model as she really is. I have been known to Liquify the odd muffin top but other than that I think she's better served showing naturally. Certainly, no CD is going to spend a lot of money on retouching if they don't have to.

    With that said, you are spot on about the skin smoothing.

    Thanks.

    I like the edginess in #2 -- fits the model and the setting. Good work.

    What a great way to start the day.

    It has been some time since i've been greeted with sanctimonious, humorless condescension and, honestly, I was overdue.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for your contribution. Feel free to disregard everything else I post at any time you wish.

    What an utterly inappropriate comment. I hope no one like you ever photographs my daughter.

    Someone like you (and me) probably wouldn't be letting their daughter pose in a sexually provocative manner like this in the first place, so, problem avoided. But after 18, well, nature will take its course.
