Model Ali in the Snow

binghott

i am practically in love with ali. i don't know why, but i really think she is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. i have two classes with her and we've become really good friends. she saw the pictures of other girls on my site and asked if we could do that. i was so excited. when we got some fresh snow i decided we had to go shoot. and of course, as i almost always do, i shot during the sunset.

i completely forgot to overexpose the snow in these pictures, but photoshop's trusty exposure adjustment tool came to the rescue once again. i touched up her eyes and then did my lab trickery. i'm really happy with these now that i've touched them up and they look properly exposed.

i've only worked on the pictures that ali is ordering prints of so far.

please tell me what you think, i'd greatly appriciate it!

I'm no expert and it may be hard to tell for sure on web shots but, did you soften the facial features?

The reason I ask is that her face seems overly soft, the eyes especially, whereas some parts of her sweater for example are nice and sharp.

Also the eyes seem a little dark or "under lit" if that makes sense, maybe because of the bright background.

I think they are nice shots otherwise. Maybe I'm to used to seeing the eyes on Yuri's models.

It's a great shoot, although I have to agree with Kini. Shots 2 and 3 appear front-focused. You can see the tip of her nose, her chin, and sweater are all in focus, while the eyes are OOF. Careful focusing on the eyes, and/or a deeper DOF would probably have helped.

Great shots!!
Good work!! #2 is my favorite.

Best of luck with everything above and beyond the photography.

Keep us posted.

dude, I can sympathize... I'm a sucker for emerald greens too.





Oh right, the photos. Yeah, what they said. But I also know how hard it is. While shooting, you probably thought you had it spot on, but once at home you found out damn, the tip of her nose is the focus instead of the eyes, crap!

You live you learn, now go secure your friday night plans, eh? Where are your priorities!!!

I can see why you are infatuated...she's beautiful and the pictures seem to show there's an interesting personality there. Yeah, maybe there are some technical issues but the important thing is...does she like them and does she want more? :
