After the Native American shoot last week Cyndi and I decided to use her beautiful pink dress to shoot a little bit of prom queen and a little Hollywood glamor. Let's see what you all think of our "plan B".

As always, click the first image for the full gallery.

    1, 5, and 7 are my favs. 7 I think is the best.

    All very very nice! #8 bowdown.gif yes sir!

    I wanted to point out something, almost all have the triangles, somewhere in the image. A tutorial, along time ago I watched, pointed out the more pleasing images, have triangles in there somewhere. The brain picks up on it and for some reason, it's appealing. I have no idea why. Ever watch Sue Bryce pose someone? Almost always, she makes a triangle somehow. Nice shoot,

    ETA, KILLER skin tones!

    BTW, that first shot with the roses? I was planning on doing something similar with my 365 project. A bit different but with the roses. I'll still do it.

    Thanks Snapper. I had heard the "rule" about triangles but, to be honest, this was my new art director (my ex-model daughter in law) helping with the poses. She has joined the World Tour team and Cyndi and I are both thrilled to have her.

    Cuban, we actually did a bunch of these "prom" shots but Cyndi looked so young that it started to creep ME out. rolleyes1.gif That's when we went for Marilyn.

    You should be pleased, you and Cindy just took a huge step up with her help on the posing aspect. It's instantly apparent of this. Imo, this is one of the top sets you have shot. Nicely done!

    Thanks again Snapper. There's no doubt that my DiL adds a lot to the team.

    By the way, here's one I shot of my other Dominican twin, my Daughter in Law and now art director/stylist:

    Like Cyndi, I think she could be more hideous rolleyes1.gifand I'm seriously thinking of retiring to the DR.
