NO NO NO not what you're thinking but got your attention huh?? LOL

Kay and I returned to the studio for my first shot at my "Bond Girl" series. Since she's an actress, as well as DDG, she got into character right away.

By the way, the lighting, vignettes and shadows may not be to your liking BUT they are intentional as my interpretation of the genre. Click the first image for the (incomplete) Gallery.

    3/4/6 (with a side bet on 7/8)

    Don't mind the shadows at all in this - because it IS part of the genre!! thumb.gif

    OK... first of all, I need to make sure I'm listening to my brain and not something else while typing this or I may get in trouble.

    #4 is absolutely hot from all perspectives.

    #5 could have been too but I keep staring at her crotch. Laughing.gif... and did you dodge the right side of her face? It looks odd. The latter actually bothers me more.

    #6 too is a great shot.

    #7 Would love to see in B&W. I think that shot would rock.

    #3 Charles is going to tell you she was eating carrots or tomatoes. Laughing.gif

    Great set. I'm not sure about the background. I find the leaves distracting. Anyway, I love the lighting and the poses.

    Love this set much better that the last...there is dimension in these due to your lighting and shadows. Good stuff.

    Yes. I like much better. I only wish you would have shot these against that gray seamless dude. Man, you would have it a grandslam.

    There we disagree Alex. There are two reasons I didn't use gray seamless this time.

    1) i shot Kay on gray seamless last time and wanted something different for her.
    2) again, unless I was gonna silouhuette her totally, the Japanese Screen is more in keeping with the Bond concept.

    As always, YMMV but at least I had a reason this time. Laughing.gif

    Yes, I think for the theme the Japanese style screen would work if not for the leaf pattern. I agree with Alex- that shot looks awesome in black and white. The shadow pops more.

    Background is fine for me. I might like it a bit more if it was less sharp.

    The biggest issue I have is with six and seven. To my eye, the camera is too high. It makes her look shorter than she is.
